I never knew this. That's actually pretty cool.<br /><br />We adopted our cat, and she was a burn victim, so she was really skittish at first, but now she's just a big love bug.

I've tried to remind her that she was once the new kitten on the block, much to Capt. Nap's dismay, but she doesn't seem to understand me. <br /><br />Thanks for the tips. It is very stressful on them, I can tell. Trying very hard to be patient with Squeaky especially, but it's hard to see her act aggressively toward the new kitten. <br /><br />We're giving them all one more week...if by then things haven't improved significantly, we'll think about giving Squeaky away. NO, I'm kidding. Our "old" cats are our first priority, of course, and we want the kitten to be in a safe, happy home, so we'll reassess in a week.

Keeping them in separate parts of the house can work if you don't want to give the new one up, but its still stressful on them. you might wake up and find them all curled up sleeping in a bundle together,...but it doesn't sound like it :/ after 3 weeks they should have gotten a little bit more use to each other, less hissing and lunging, wouldn't be stopped all together but shouldnt be all the time. <br /><br />separate feeding areas in different rooms can help, (should have separate dishes/bowls anyway to help stop in the spreading of any possible illness/disease),make sure there are enough litter boxes if you use them.<br /><br /><br />Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976128754487941498.post-90029559690425968012013-12-07T06:30:29.879-05:002013-12-07T06:30:29.879-05:00oops - meant to say "not even the toy." ...oops - meant to say "not even the toy."
