Good afternoon from a small Irish island.. Seeking opinions etc on a situation with my cats. Although I have kept, bred and rescued cats for around 40 years this is a new thing to me.
Around a year ago when my dog and one of my oldest cats died, I took in three young rescues. 2 girls, one boy, I still had 2 cats, one 15 year old, the other I thought 7 although I think he may be older,
All went well with the intros. Slowly they integrated , with never any aggression. New ones ate and slept in the kitchen , old ones with me. Where I l ive they are free to come and go and when I go for walks, I would have five cats following.
A while ago I realised that Jacob, the 7 year old, no longer came on the walks. He would stand at the gate and watch us leave. Nothing else different and no health issues.
The last few days the male ( neutered) of the three I took in last year started challenging and attacking Jacob. Who is the gentlest cat there is and was terrified. Oddly Oliver, the newbie. will curl up with the 15 year old neutered
