I adopted a 3 year old cat from the shelter about 3 weeks ago. She had her own little room and my husband and I took turns sleeping with her a few nights. My other 3 kitties knew something was up, and were curious. I followed the cat introduction protocol for about almost two weeks- we let her out when she was ready. The new kitty (Eyevie) now rules the upstairs, and the other kitties have all decided to stay downstairs.
What's really bothering me is that she has run toward my other kitties both up and downstairs. She's not aggressive, but my one of my other three (Dottie)is really upset. Poor thing hasn't been upstairs in a week- she used to sleep with us and had her routines with us. Now she's been confined downstairs because she is terrified of Eyevie.
I found some sprays by Jackson Galaxy that I've ordered, one called "Bully" and one called "stress". I'm hoping this will work, but I'm really emotional because of the turmoil it's causing. Eyevie was brought to the shelter from a hoarding situation with 30 other cats. I would think she would get along fine with other kitties.
Have a pit in my stomach-
