Hi everyone! I need some advice on bringing over my cat to a new apartment where there are two other cats. I've tried once with disasterous results. My cat is 3, she is small, sweet, friendly and still has her claws. When I first got her, she lived with 2 other female spayed and declawed cats. She was fine with them, they usually ignored her unless she got too close. Then I moved and my roomate got a male kitten. They hissed at eachother at first, but became very good friends. Now she has lived by herself for quite some time. I am moving in two weeks, but was told I could bring my cat over now to give her a chance to adjust before the whole moving process. So I tried, but ended up having to bring her home. This is what happened:
It was only a few blocks away, and since I didn't have my carrier (it was borrowed and never returned) I just drove her over. I set her down, and the male cat, who is 3 and very, very, very friendly came right over and sniffed her. She seemed fine at first then hissed and batted at him. She came and sat on my lap and continued to cry and hiss. The other cat is a 3 year old female, declawed and very unfriendly. She was acting fine twords my cat, just came closer to sniff her. Though the other cats seemed only curious about her, my cat was very uncomfortable. She kept lunging at them to attac them. Eventually I brought her into one ot the bedrooms to calm down and get used to the new smells. The male cat managed to get the door open and she started to attack him. When I came close to get the male cat out, she turned on my and clawed up my legs and hands. She has never acted this way to me. This is getting long....I'm sorry! Anyway, I had to bring her home and I want to try again, but I really don't know what to do when she is acting so violently! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
