I have posted before about my process of introducing a new cat. Kaylie, the resident cat, still doesn't like the "intruder", but so far she has only growled and hissed at her. She hasn't attacked her, and they both seem to avoid each other as best as they can. However, she seems to have connected me with the new cat, and doesn't shy away from biting and attacking me. It is more than just a scent thing, because she doesn't do it to her "daddy", even if he just petted the other kitty.
Is there anything I can do, or do I just have to wait it out until she calms down? Whenever she lets me, I try to give her special attention, but I am getting jumpy around her myself, because I always have to be prepared for her claws and teeth.
Oh, and one more question, if you allow me
We have noticed that Kaylie somehow smells a little different ever since the new cat arrived. Is it just our imagination, or does it have to do with her feeling intruded by another cat?
Thanks-
