Yestersay I adopted a 6 month old male Turkish Van and when I brought him home my other two cats Maggie and Bailey did not take it well AT ALL! Maggie seemed ok with him until he went by the food bowl, then she started hissing and grunting. Bailey wouldn't even even let him NEAR her and keeps hissing and swiping at him. She is EXTREMELY upset by all of this!!! (Bailey is a VERY sensitive baby to begin with!). I feel awful because the new baby is very sweet and is trying to make friends but right now my other two babies aren't having it. What should I do? On top of all this, I will be moving into a new apartment next week but right now we are all living in my boyfriend's parents basement which is small and cramped. Because I don't want to leave them unattended while we are at work, I took the new kitty to a friend's house and plan on staying with him there until we move into the new place. Maybe if I slowly re-introduce them after we move things will be a bit better? Also, the new kitty has alot of discharge around his eyes and is sneezing alot. Could Maggie and Bailey be freaking out because they sense he is sick? I REALLY need help! I've only had my cats for a little over a year and have had no prior pets before them!
Any advice at all would be greatly appriciated!
