It's been nearly 5 months since Alexa and I moved in together and we still haven't done much to introduce the cats since the incident where Tuna bit Alexa. We'd tried two more times, and each time Corkscrew went after Tuna. Lately Alexa had been bugging me because she was sick of always having to make sure cats were locked up and the hassle of making sure all the cats had an equal amount of time to run around the house.
Tonight she decided enough was enough. I clipped Corkscrew's nails and we decided to leave Tuna fully armed with his claws so he would have a way to protect himself against Corkscrew. They have been out for about 90 minutes and they are actually doing ok! There was one fight, then Corkscrew calmed down. You can tell that Corkscrew is a bit upset, but this is a big step for us. Hopefully we can keep letting them out together every day when we are both at home to supervise.
He doesn't seem at all bothered with Pocky, he went up to sniff her and she swatted him then he just walked away. For some reason it's just Tuna, I suppose it's because he's a male.
Keep your fingers crossed that eventually Corkscrew will get over his issues with Tuna. They don't have to be friends, I just want Corkscrew to stop attacking Tuna.
