Some of you will recall that a bit ago I posted about having to bring one of my Ferals in for life because of a bowel issues. Trying to make her (Mia) and the dominant resident cat (Charlie) friends has been difficult. They've made a bit of progress, but not much - its' been slow.
On Monday night I had to bring one of the other ones in (Mia's sister), White label, inside as there was a major issue and she couldn't breath well. It does look like a severe case Asthma. She has water in the lungs too that she is being treat for. This leaves the last of the sisters (Braveheart) outside alone. She will need to be brought in.
Currently Mia is in a back computer room - free now with the door open most of the time to allow her to attempt to explore - which - she barely does.
White Label is in the downstairs basement bathroom in a Large dog cage. Not sure where I am going to place Braveheart at this stage.
Trying to get Mia and Charlie to be friends is one thing, but W.L and Braveheart? At the same time? How?
He's barely tolerating Mia atm and he has exhibited bad behavior. (I.E) pooped outside the litter box twice in defiance.
Is it even possible? How do I even start the process? Toss W.L in with her sister and start again? Anyone successfully done this before with an exceptionally dominate cat with a bad attitude?
They are all fixed btw and of the same age. The girls are about 6 -8 months younger.
Edit to add: Charlie already has behavior issues I'm working on - including misdirected aggression. He won't take this at all unless I can find a way that causes him very little stress.
