Me and my boyfriend have been living together for 1.5 year now, so are our cats. It's not going well, even after a slow introduction. Meaning a year of seperate rooms, feeding together and eventually, scent exchange even a hole in the door with a plexiglass plate with drilled holes so they can safely smell each other. After a year we decided to put them together as they kept fighting against the glass.
His two indoor cats, mother (9) and daughter (8), never socialised with other cats/people/doctors. When we brought them to the pension during our holiday, they didn't let the both of them out of their cage with the other cats for the entire week. Daughter is generally super chill, so I didn't expect that. Recently we found a new home, single cat household, for mother as she has been hostile towards daughter since young (daughter doesnt mind). My cat (2) is also minimally socialized with other cats as he grew up alone since he was 2.5 months. He was fine at the pension though, but I didn't get to see his behaviour.
My situation feels like this New kitten too playful for older cat, except it's not a kitten anymore and it has been going on for 1.5 years. My cat just can't seem to understand they don't want him near. Now, I feel my cat has become more agressive in his playing after all the hissing and clawing. I really don't know what to do. They are fine when eating together though.
