New Kitty not being accepted by the Old Kitty
« on: September 05, 2018, 06:42:50 pm »
I still keep them in separate rooms.  Old Kitty just isn't going to accept new kitty.  Case closed. :'(

Don’t know how long you have the new one, but don’t give up, they will in time.

I have been the owner of multiple cats over the years and when a new  cat is brought into the house it sometimes takes a little while but eventually they all establish their boundaries and are able to get along enough to live in the same house.

Usually when I bring a new kitty into the house I have to keep them separated while I am not at home but let them test out the waters when I am here.

Going on 3 months now.  Miku pretends to be nice and act like she's going to be good and Pounce!  I have to quickly rescue Little Kitty.

I would say, as an experienced cat dad, the case is not closed. I did have a vet once tell me that some cats never get along, and I guess that's true. Caroline, Lucy, and Bandit are my babies. Lucy and Bandit still aren't buddy-buddy, but I now keep them in the same room and they get along when the common denominator is food. Lol. Caroline absolutely HATED Lucy when she first moved in. I had never seen anything like it. I was scared that this was going to be my reality for the next 15 years. They'd literally sit underneath my bed, on opposite sides, and hiss at each other. But after 3 weeks of drama, Caroline decided she wanted Lucy as her best friend and they've been buddies ever since. Lucy even tried to mate with Caroline before she was fixed. LOL.

My cat likes to play fight  with our other cat. Sometimes  worry they get pretty crazy. One of them waits for me to open  the door to make her escape.  Try playing with both of them at the same time. Good luck.

They will get along or at least tolerate each other.  It may take time, but it usually works.  As long as one cat doesn’t spend all her time looking for the other cat it will be ok in time.

That doesn't surprise me at all.  Cats have their own way about them and that is part of what I love about them.  Bottom line, if they can coexist under the same roof, great.

AWE, I hope they soon come around and like each others company. However, I know how cats can be.
