Just a quick update. It's got to the point now where the female is growling and hissing whenever the other cat is nearby. She won't come in the house if she can see him. Last night when we tried to hold her she growled, hissed and meowed at us too?? Poor thing is unhappy, going to vets this evening for a check up. Will keep you posted.

Did you try any homeopathic remedies or the felliway plug J? Anyways good luck and do keep us updated

Hi,

Its so odd isn't it? I just wonder if its something that is happening during the day outside? a certain scent on the other cat that is making the female feel threatened in some way. But its so odd after all this time. I really think the feliway could work well. Do they have their own bowls and litter trays, maybe if they have their own places it may settle in time.

Best of luck to you, it must be so upsetting, disharmony between two cats you love so much.

Saw the vet, we're trying feliway. They think it could be due to us getting the house ready for my baby's arrival. This means that some territories have had to move. She said if it doesn't settle in a couple of weeks to go back and consider blood tests.

I hope it all works out well for you. Seems a bit of a mystery.

I have a brother and sister from the same litter and they are 6 years old now. And still as friendly to one another.

Oh and they had to get used to two babies - they were fine. And infact are excellent with the kids - will let the kids stroke them with no scratching.

Hope it gets sorted.

HELPP ME!! Me and my boyfriend adopted a Calico kitten back in march, and decided to get her a companion three days ago. when we brought him home we introduced them through the door, and than face to face. It didn't go well so I researched online what we were supposed to do and it says to do the process slowly. We've been trying to keep them separate as possible, but its hard to do because of the litter boxes.
I can understand the calico's hissing and growling when the new kitten is around, but she's now acting horrible towards us. she wont let us hold her, she growls and hisses menacingly at us, and she spends all her time under the couch, even when the new kitten is in our bedroom. I've heard that Calico cats can be difficult to get along with other cats because they are territorial, but I just cant understand why she is so angry with us! If someone has any ideas or advice, please please PLEASE let me know! Im starting to worry now. It would be greatly appreciated

thank you!!!!!!

Whenever I have brought a new cat into the home all of my cats react different....some freak out...some accept more or less straight away...some get a moody on.....

As with alot of issues we experience with cats alot of it is about time, patience and encouragement.

When I have brought a new cat home I have always slept downstairs with them until I am satisfied that they are all cool with each other.

I would give it 2 weeks and then look back on the situation as it is and as it was and reasses...I think you just need to give it more time right now..
