So don't always keep her in the separate room." However, I don't think I should start this until after she is spayed, right? Not right now. Also, I am going to manufacture a fake screen door where the solid door between them is now, so that they can have access to each other but not physically. I also bought a folding metal dog kennel that I thought I would set up in the part of the house that my older guy is in, and put the newbie in there so that they could start having some interaction, again without being able to swat each other. This would be my last step before trying to get them together without any restraints. Does all this sound ok? If all this doesn't work out, I may have to give her up, and at this point I don't know if it will break my heart or not, since I am (somewhat) not attached to her completely yet.
I like the new cat, but she is attacking my old cat and making him fearful. What can I do to stop this? When I keep her apart, she cries all the time to be with us
