Okay I've had Gia for 3 weeks and I also have two cats. I have been trying to get the cats use to Gia I usually monitor them when they are around eachother. And when I see things getting out of hand I'll separate them. Anyway today I was on the floor with Ash (the male cat) & Gia then all of a sudden Ash takes a swing at Gia . Gia stepped back and started crying then I noticed a pool of blood coming from her neck. That's all I needed to see I rushed Gia to the Animal Hospital right away. To make a long story short Gia has to little cuts, the vet cleaned her cuts, and gave me antibiotic to give her for 7 days. Gia is doing fine, running & playing, & barking as usual (Thank God)... But I don't know what to do with my cats. Everyone says it's going to take time but I'm afraid to trust the cats around her, plus I don't want to expose her to being clawed at all the time . What should I do? Can the cats ever learn to accept her? Or should I try to find them a new home?
