I've had Mookie for 3 years. He is so loved and so chill. We introduced a female kitten, Luna to our home on 8/8. I have followed all the rules, slow introduction, separate food bowls, 3 litter boxes, plugged in 2 Feliway.
Mookie is tolerant and sweet to the new kitten. They play, chase, stalk, hunt and seem fine. Mookie is16 pounds, so the play is monitored!
My issue, Mookie hates me now! He growls hisses, and is non approachable since the kitten arrived. I figure he is overstimulated, stressed and maybe putting on heirs in front of kitten. I have respected his space. But nothing has changed. He is miserable to me.
WE went to vet, hoping he was ill (quick answer) but he is fine. Vet recommended all i have read here and researched. she did say prozac might help if behavior is still happening in 2 months.
So my question is...
has this happened to anyone else and if so, does it level off, will I get my mookie back?
I apologize if this is a redundant question. There's a lot to read on this forum.
Thank you in advance
