I have the same issue .
i just brought in a 2.5 year old female to my place, i have an 2 year old male. both are fixed.
i had the 2 year old male for about 9 months, and the female is about a week now with me. shes a super sweetie too, kinda princess like in her movements. she will interript me on my tablet or phone for attention etc.
shes still being very shy, hiding and such, but she is coming out more and more and staying out a lot longer, often even overnight if i pass out on the couch, or ill wake up from bed and she will be on the couch, so shes adatpting to some degree. she responds to treats, and has been eating and using the litter box no problem.. ill often find the male near her, sometimes they will be nearly side by side, and even seen them curled up against each other, but then the male will try and be cute and playful, and she just wants nothing to do with it, hisses at him, takes a few swats at him and such. she has not been very playful at all, not responding to anything playful really.
i wonder if its a male and female thing, or if its a dominance thing, or shes not all that great with other cats / socialization. i have no history of her past lifestyle. i dont think she was abused, cause she has no problem being held by me, i can pick her up at any time i want and she is welcoming, and she has no issues with female humans or other male humans that are new to her as she lets other people hold her and pet her.
I have 2 cats, both female and spayed. One is about 6, the other is about 2. The older one is a jerk to me, and loves my wife. She bites, claws, hisses, and will chase me – swatting all the way, and pees in my house. She hates most people and all other animals. She co-existed with my dogs, but wasn't interested in them. The younger cat loves everyone, and used to snuggle & play with the dogs. The older cat especially hates the younger cat. She will chase and fight her immediately, and will hiss whenever she sees her.
I have tried bonding with this cat myself, and no luck in 6yrs. I don't even need the cats to be friends, but would like them to be able to be in the same house. The older cat came from a hoarding/inbreeding situation. We have eliminated health issues, tried the diffusers, different treats & toys. Any tips?
I’ve Just introduced my 3 yro male (neutered) and a 7 week old girl and they seem to be doing really well together they are chasing each other but I can get her to play with toys but he just want to watch her play no interest himself other than observing her he’s not hissing or growling at her at all! they are eating in the same room but I have them at a distance, she munches away while he will eat some and come back for the rest later not totally unlike him! They had a little cuddle lastnight but then she chewed on his tail and he swatted her (no nails) just want to know if this is working or if my male is a bit put out
We have a similar issue – we have 2 kittens – a 6month old completely regular non-pedigree girl we've had for a couple of months & a recently introduced 4 month old pedigree rag doll boy. The girl wants to play with the boy all the time – follows him around, tries to play with his tail, hiding in a tunnel and then jumping out, but the boy is so slow and passive when she does that, doesn't react or just calmly walks away, but then is happy to play with a fishing rod toy, which shows he's not tired or non-playful. When she is playing with a toy he'd come and take over where she would step away and watch from a corner. Same if we play with each of them separately in the same room with 2 different toys – she just stares at him & ignores her toy or he comes over and plays with hers instead… How do we get them to play TOGETHER? They don't have an issue touching noses or eating in the same room, but they're not really grooming each other, playing together or sleeping closer than 1m away from each other.
Hi everyone, I would love some advice.
We adopted our 4th cat two weeks ago.
We already have two sisters (7 years old) and a big boy (9 years old).
The new one (10 years old) was quarantined for one week after her vet checkup and all the necessary procedures. We slowly introduced her to the others.
They weren’t complete strangers to each other; the new cat was already familiar with them through their enclosed terrace in our garden.
Therefore, there was no hissing or any negative reactions from our indoor babies.
However, since she started roaming freely, the new cat hisses and growls whenever the others try to smell her, even the most innocent moves are not welcomed.
The others are trying to avoid her, and she seems afraid of them as well.
She has recently started coming down to us from her quarantine safety room, but she still refuses their company and especially eating in the same room. She insists on eating behind a closed door in her quarantine room.
I would really love to see them snuggling, playing, and eating together someday.
Please help!
Thank you!

I have a massive nebelung male ànd a 4 month oĺd female that get along fabulously but i introduced a new 3 month old female that used to a outside cat they all played under the door for atleast a month and when i brought her in the new female oreo is hissing and smacking my male monk and he's being very gentle and doesnt hiss or smack back but the two females hate each other any advice is welcomed
Thank you for making this video. I am glad as I search for the solution I see this video. What I do is for stray cats around the house. One new cat I guess try to protect the territory and so it chase the other cats. I did use high voice and something to block to ensure no violence happened…..I wonder how to communicate to make them get along. I do provide food, but not yet giving toys. Ironically, in fact I never care about animals before. But somehow, starting from feeding birds outdoor. Then I wonder about cats if they would eat the birds. And so I began to feed cats. Unfortunately I cannot find solutions of feeding veggie to cats. But more or less I do so for the environment and sympathy. This in fact also benefit myself, I could say is spiritual, and I find harmony from it.
I adopted a 1-year-old male cat last year. I did everything by the books and then some on introducing him to my resident 13 female cat. Both cats had a history of being socialized with other felines. I consulted the experts and two vets. The two cats could not be kept in the same room. They just would not get along. The only thing I did not do that was suggested was sedating my female. Thats where I drew the line. I was living in two separate households. I gave it a year without any progress. I made the difficult decision to rehome the male. It broke my heart, my Vet and the agency where I adopted him said it was the right decision.
Jenny farted 😂😂😂
how do I intervene in the stare down? when I see it, I get scared and any noise or movement I make can trigger a chase or fight once stare down has happened. I don’t know how to intervene without making it worse. help!
Ive had issues with my adult cat and the new kitten coexisting. Its been several months where the kitten is now a mini adult cat. The older cat, Tempurra, treat the other cat, Hachido, as prey. We have been seperating them frequently from different rooms. Everytime we put Hachido in a room to seperate for a bit, Tempurra jumps underneath the door tthats between them rying to get her. Like her paws reaching for Hachido. In the beginning Tempurra despised Hachido that it came to a point of injuries. I got injured, my partner got injured (all different occasions) which all added up to Hachido growing up being afraid of Tempurra because of that, now Hachido starts hissing at Tempurra.
And now, Tempurra just with her big blue eyes, hunts her with her eyes. If she had the opportunity to get her she would. She has been in a cat bag to let her see Hachido to try to see she is no threat.
It become such a stress in the house but i do not want to rehouse Hachido.
Ive been watching the videos but I have not seen one that has similar issues such as having two cats not liking each other for several months.
I have a weird and difficult situation to deal with.
I have two cats – male and female sterilized.
The female was "raised" by the male, living in the same house for about 3 years.
Yesterday I gave them a haircut – the first for both of them.
Suddenly the famele wants to kill the mail. She is very aggressive and teritorial. Her theritory seems to be the whole house.
How should I deal with this?
I haven't been able to find anything similar to my issue on YouTube so far.
6mins of nothing
I wonder how to approach this when the first of two cats became 90% blind
I picked up 2 kittens at a rescue 5 years ago and they still don’t like each other. I’ve tried everything.
I have multiple cats, 3 females are always at their retreat, and don't go often to backyard with fences because a few males interact the wrong way by being dominant. How can I improve the experience of these 3 females and make them go to the backyard again without males fighting towards the females
Boshi looks like he is eager to play, but respects when Tiger says no. He has a good manners!
I have 4 cats, 3 get a long well but my fourth one is always picking up fights with the others, how do I make this stop?
Forty years ago I got lucky with my two. The older one was about a year old, the new one a kitten. At first sight, the older female just hissed at the new one and ran out. On Day 2, they became buddies, and bonded. The older one was heartbroken when the younger one died about 13 years later.
I’m curious if there are instances where an adult cat is too territorial to be kept with mild mannered senior cats or kittens.
Can I send. A video?😊
We are still trying to integrate an adopted cat in with our previously adopted resident cat (both adopted as adults).
It is still not going well. Newest cat being Napolean and chasing, hitting etc. Affectionate towards humans. We are now 8 months in and can't leave them alone…how long should we try before we have to make a difficult decision. Its not fair on either of them, especially resident cat who is showing symptoms of anxiety (overgrooming).
Should have watched this 3 years ago. We have a calico now almost 11 and we added a kitten and definitely kept them separate too long. I don’t know if it’s because my calico (pumpkin) is older but she always seems scared walking by my younger cat (pepper). I mean they eat around each other, can be in some rooms and be fine but I just always feel bad that pumpkin seems scared or tentative walking passed peeper because she always wants to play and chase and pumpkin isn’t interested. Well unless it’s 1 am and then they are both chasing each other. But no hissing or claws out.
I was soooo careful but still messed up I think
Basically crying right now bc my 4 yo lil black resident kitty doesn’t want to come in since yesterday
The big 2 yo MC boy basically took over the house
I tried to keep them separate but he sneaked out a couple of times and scared hell out of her
Unfortunately I don’t have anyone to help w advice
Please help me. I have 2 male cats who absolutely hate each other. They know each others smell but they won’t get along what so ever i got them neutered a week ago but they won’t get along they even attack me when i try to separate them
I have no idea what more to do for the 6 month old kitten we rescued. My senior cat and it will not get along. I've tried all the introduction steps and even have restarted the process but they truly don't like eachother at all. What doesn;t help is that the kitten is very stubborn & can be aggressive. I would say she's very wild and I'm starting to give up hope on fixing this situation. It's devolved into territorial spraying from the kitten now. My senior cat typically wants to sleep all the time but the kitten will also attack her in her bed and hunt her down. I'm at such a loss and feel so discouraged. On her own, the kitten is fine but I'm beginning to believe she needs to be an only cat.
My two cats who also happens to be siblings both females, are fighting, more than fighting it is kinda bullying, one of my cat suddenly became territorial and started bullying and chasing the other cat which is scared of her, few days ago the victim cat went somewhere for a week we searched her all around but no results then we came to know that someone saw her crossing the railway line near my house, we went to a colony across the line and found her, today again she was missing, and found her again there, I am sure she is not fond of that place because hardly anyone feeds her there and when we brought her last time she ate food like she was starving, I am sure she was chased away by my opresseor cat to that area, please anyone help me!
I’m fostering a traumatized cat from a hoarding situation (these people had good hearts and took in over 40 community cats into a two-bedroom apartment, none of whom were vetted, de-flead, or fixed. The apartment was dark and un-air conditioned. An animal activist found out and managed to talk them into giving the cats to her and she got them TNRed, and various people are fostering them while they wait their turns at a cat rescue that has two cages set aside for this group.
My girl was abort-spayed and then brought to me: hormonal changes, anesthesia, and a strange new house with people and cats she didn’t know! She was in a cage for the first week because I didn’t want her to hide under the bed or attack one of my other fosters who was severely disabled but who was able to be moved to the main house with the other cats and had an appointment to be spayed and put up for adoption.
The next week I opened the door and pulled her food and litterbox out. She stayed in the cage unless she wanted to eat. The third week she started exploring the room but, as I slept in that room, she avoided me. Finally she started coming up to me for scritches, but I made the mistake of trying to pick her up. Another time she decided she wanted one stroke and I gave her two—bloodbath.
She only recently started playing without hissing.
Meanwhile, my other four personal cats were pawing under the door and finally rushed in and ate her food and used her litterbox. So after a few times of that, I opened the door so she could go out, which she does, because my house is a catified paradise. But she refuses to play with them and eats only in my room and stays in my room at night because I’m there. I wish she could just become part of the group, in part because we are still in high kitten season and she’s taking up room that I usually use for fostering kittens.
My 2 year old female cat constantly growls and hisses at my 7 month old male cat. Both are neutered. The kitten likes to annoy my older cat by jumping on her, biting her, sitting on her, all the annoying younger brother things that they do. I just want my female cat to be able to feel comfortable around her own home instead of hiding behind the door when he is roaming around our apartment. I feel like I've ruined her life by introducing the kitten in to her life. I have attempted to do the reintroduction methods twice. My vet told me I need to let them interact otherwise the female will never get along with the kitten as they are constantly being kept apart. I try play with them together, feed together but she just growls all the time. Please help!!!
