We need your help.
We have a problem with our 2 cats.
my girlfriend brought her cat when she moved in with me. the cat's called pippi, she is really shy and about 4 years old. but she's cute and I love her obviously.
last summer we thought "hey. let's adopt another one." that's how we got tobi, he's about 1.5 years old and blind (his eyes got removed when he was little due to an infection)
they don't get along with each other at all. we have them separated for about a year now and it's not getting better.
pippi is a very scared and shy cat and she's running away immediately when she sees him. he is following her, kinda chasing but not always angry, I'd guess he wants to play but she is scared as hell.
we had them once together for a few weeks maybe. as you can guess it didn't work out really well. pippi didn't leave the cat tree and even started to poop on our bed because Tobi wouldn't leave her alone when he heard her digging inside the litter box.
what we tried:
• we tried introducing them really slowly
• we tried playing with them close to each other
• we tried feliway
• we tried rubbing towels with the scent of the other one on them
• we're swapping territories every day
nothing worked so far. we absolutely have no idea what else we could try.
does anyone have an idea what we could do?
