Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2006new "kitten" biting established cat
Help! We have a 2-year-old spayed female adopted at about 4 months having been a feral kitten. She won't let us pick her up etc. and had a very established routine. Then we acquired a 4-month-old male, now neutered, who loves people, will be a lab kitty etc. We kept them appart for 2 weeks, did all the things the vet said, then slowly introduced them. After a couple of days of caution, new kitty began to chase old kitty out of any room, biting her on the back if she didn't leave. We are now quite attached to both. We have tried a lot of things. Suggestions, PLEASE! Thank you , Darcy and Will >Help! We have a 2-year-old spayed female adopted at about 4 months having >been a feral kitten.

We are now quite New one is still a kitten who will like to play *a lot*; looks like he likes to play rough though. It is still early for the both of them; perhaps your old kitty will start to play with him over time. You're going to have to show your kitten that it's wrong to hurt her though if he's getting too rough. Perhaps a little squirt of water if you catch him in the act. If she doesn't want anything to do with him, you'll have to play with him to tire him out. Once he gets a bit older and also after he get neutured, he may calm down a bit. Anna let the new kitty be the boss. Who wants a feral cat you cant even pick up? maybe they will learn eachother jc > >Help!

As for "who wants a feral cat you cant even pick up", lots of people do. It's very rewarding to save a feral cat. A lot of non-feral kittens end up not becoming lap cats either when they grow up. Only one of my three is a lap cat and none of them were ferals. Anna "lab kitty"? do you guys let them near the lab rats and lab mice? > "lab kitty"? do you guys let them near the lab rats and lab mice? Could she have meant "lap" kitty? Joan my cat is a "head" kitty. when I lie on the sofa, she likes to sit near my head and massage my scalp. |
