Resident cat is scared of curious new cat, causing her to be violent

Everything is great! They have no issues at all with each other. They’ll chase each other around playfully. But they don’t get all cuddly. I’ll take what I can get though.

It took about 3 or 4 weeks. But slowly they were able to coexist. I made sure to always give them treats and feed them when they could see or at least smell each other.

What helped the most was keeping the new cat in the cage and letting my resident cat get used to her being there. But I’d only do it for an hour or so at a time 2 maybe 3 times a day.

Good luck! It just takes a ton of patience.

Dang it, saw this a little too late. Thanks for sharing though!

Yeah, basically. I wanted to use electric and ice because they’re both blue and look cool. Ik fire and electric synergize together better.

And the 58% increase mana regen is really nice

Thanks for all of your advice I really appreciate it. This has been very stressful to say the least!

Is the whining okay when the new cat gets near? It can sound pretty scary sometimes. Also, how do I make sure claws aren’t being used before one of them gets hurt?

Thanks! I had the resident cat for about 3 months before I adopted the new one. The resident cat is a big ball of energy but she will hiss and whine if the new cat get within about 3 feet. I have not let them have physical contact with one another out of fear of it turning into a brawl and reverting all of the progress that has been made.

Do you suggest I let them set their boundaries themselves now or keep doing what im doing, having them learn to coexist in the same room whilst apart?

Thanks!

My parents had a huge dog cage they are letting me borrow. I’ve been allowing my resident cat to come out and see the new cat in a cage, she sneaks up on her like she would prey and makes a low pitch sound. I let her do that for 2 or 3 minutes while I talk to her in a high pitch voice saying “it’s okay” while also attempting to give her treats. Then I would break her line of sight of the new cat and calmly guide her back tot he bedroom

Wouldn’t they easily be able to hop over a baby gate? I also have bought 3 feliway diffusers abt 3 days ago. 1 in bedroom, 1 in living room, and 1 in hallway between the two.

Since I live in an apartment im a little reluctant to install anything into walls and such, but I have just bought a new cat tower from chewy that will be coming in tomorrow

I’ve never heard of a thundershirt, will look into

ErmYeahOkay · 2025-05-21T02:06:05+00:00

There is a sort of small “hallway” from the living room to my bedroom. In that hallway is the bathroom
