I took in my grandma's cat last July. He is 7yrs old and had lived with her his whole life. My uncles would visit and tease him. I have three other cats. We introduced slowly and have given equal treats, play time and attention. When he first came he was very scared and hissed at everything. He guards his territory and doesn't want you too close. That all is better. One of my cats is older, but very tiny. She doesn't want to fight or be dominant. The new cat has decided he is going to eat her alive. The odd thing is, he has no claws and she does. She will not defend herself and gets thrown to her back and scratched. Of course I am doing everything I can to keep him away, but his mission is to stalk her and capture her. He hurt her last night and I had to be up late cleaning her wound in case of infection.
It made my grandma so happy she knew I would have her cat. But my tiny cat already had a home where a big dog was chasing her all the time. She deserves safety in her own home.
I did go to the vet and have him checked out, but he isn't sick or in pain and can mostly deal with the other 2 cats. She prescribed a med to calm him, but he won't eat anything but his dry food, if I put the pill onto that, he won't eat that food. What else can I try? First photo is Ed, second is little Elmo.
