I'm pretty close to adopt a 5 month old cat, but Kiki, my husband's 7 year old cat is very territorial, so I'm having problems introducing the new kitty to Kiki.
When we got married I used to have a cat and she never liked him. He past away a few months later, but she gave him hard time while he was alive. We take care of my in laws cat when they go out of town ( three or four times a year) and you would think that Kiki would be used to other cats by now, well no, she gives Norman (my in laws cat)hell when he is here. It's been 5 years since my cat past away and we haven't had another cat but her, and the exceptions of Norman staying with us while the in laws are on vacation.
This new kitty is a sweet heart. She is been staying with us for a month already. She belongs to my aunt, but she can't keep her since she has a 2 year old boy and she is afraid that the kid can hurt the cat or viceversa.
I have tried to introduce the 2 cats slowly but, Kiki gets very aggresive and tries to attack the kitty. I have a separate bedroom for the kitty and KIki sneaks in and chases her all the way under the bed and starts attacking her. In other words, I have to keep them separated all the time.
They are both indoors cats and they are both females. I take turns leaving them around the house. A few hours Kiki and a few hours Kitty, but I feel like I'm being unfair to both of them. If they could only get along I would be so happy! Kitty wants to be friends with Kiki, but Kiki won't even try. Any suggestions?
Hubby was asking me if there is such a thing as the cat whisperer
