Paizly Problem is over, sorta! #66 pix too!

This reminds me of when I first became a multi-cat household. Way back then, I only had one cat called Lucy Jane. She looked lots like Grandma does today.

Then baby Leroy showed up outside my kitchen window. He decided he wanted to live with us. I said no. So, he would run around and around the outside of the house, all night long, yelling as loud as he could. After a few days of that, I gave in and brought him inside.

Lucy Jane, was not impressed at all!!! She didn't hiss at him, she hissed at ME!!! It was like: You did this! It's all your fault. Make him go away!!!

She was in a snit for weeks but finally got used to him. (and stopped hissing at me. until I brought Leonardo in of course)

How old was Lucy Jane and Leroy when you brought Leroy in?
Thanks for the story.

I made Mr Jax an appointment for the vets tomorrow night. He needs one of his shots and just the introductory visit at my vet.

Lucy was 7 or 8 and Leroy was just a baby sprout, maybe 3 or 4 months old.

Good luck at the vets tomorrow with Mr Jax.

can u put under Paizly´s food dish a mat that has been used by Jax (slept on, etc).. so she associates good things= food.. to Jax´s smell?...

just a thought..

That's another good idea. Thanks Isabel.

Another question: How often should I reapply Feliway to Paizly's collar?

[kitten645]

This too shall pass Jax will adjust and Ms Paz will too. You should know it takes girls a bit longer. It's all about Ms P until she gets the heck over it and moves on with her life. LOL. Hang tough!

We actually had to use 2 baby gates on our bedroom door with the Nikki introduction.... We would open the door for about 30minutes sitting with them to encourage them to investigate each other and reward with positive behavior when they would get really worked up that was it for the night...It took around 15days. Just to be safe we would also remove Nikki from the room yet leave her food, bedding and litter box (she was checked by the vet first) for the others to investigate for about an hour a day for about 15 days just so they didn't have a threat of actually seeing her. It seemed to go ok? Nikki and Squeek still don't get a long we just hope that eventually the two of them will work their differences out or get tired from old age and just let it go...The vet said they might never get along... We just moderate the fighting... But you will see one day it will all just work itself out. They are funny little creatures... But I totally understand the position you are in right now...You wonder if you made the right decition... You did!! Just give them a bit to work it all out... They will be good before you know it. Good Luck!

LOL, Claudia that is good!!

Heidi, we do have two baby gates. He hasn't mastered clearing both of them...yet. Paizly did early on when she was a kitten. Right now I only have one up but the dogs are in the hallway so he's not attempting to climb it. He's laying by the gate watching the dogs.

Yes, I guess if I can't get cuddling kitties I would just ask that they tolerate each other. That's good enough for me.

We have to put ourselves in a Cat's place, I have a feeling that we would not take to a strange person in our homes that easily.
At the Found Cat Hotel My Cats all liked each other, it was I taht they hissed and spit at.
Even going on 5 years Miquelito and Pouncierge are not 100 % sure!

We pray that Paizly will realize that Jax could start a beautiful friendship

Thank you Gary!

I'm pretty late to reply and I see you already had many advises. I am not a specialist anyway, but I just wanted to say that a similar situation occurred with Peppito when I brought Jasmine home. He was hissing at her, hissing at us, and finally never never attacked her. He was even hissing at us when we wanted to trim his nails, something he never did before, as if saying "I need these claws, I am the boss, don't touch them". Now they are buddies. They do not sleep in cat piles, but still they like being together. The only thing Peppito still does after 5 years is hissing at Jasmine and chasing her when she is back from the vet. When they have catnip he also tends to be a little aggressive with her. For the rest, all is fine

I love to hear the success stories. It gives me hope. Thanks for sharing.
