My problem is twofold. I inherited my parents cat, when my Dad died. I took him from the only house he knew and the only people he knew to a house with me and my two cats. My parents cat was raised with a cat that was pretty aggressive to him.
So, I bring him to my house and he went ballistic. Attacking my cats constantly. I separated them and bought all kinds of products that had “calming” pheromones. Nothing worked and I spent a bunch of money.
A solution presented itself when I was offered a job an hour and a half from my home. Room and board were included. So I could take my parents cat with me and I left my two cats at home, where they were used to it.
I am off one day during the week and the weekends, so I could go back and forth and I have a friend that would help also.
This has worked, but this job isn’t permanent and eventually they will have to be back together.
My female cat, who was so scared of my parents cat, she stayed on my bed and wouldn’t even get off the bed to use the litter box. Yes, she peed and pooped in my bed.
She has developed a serious heart myopathy. I couldn’t give her, her meds because of the way I work, plus she is so scared, she couldn’t handle the stress. My vet took her and is giving her, her meds and is looking for a home for her. My female was never socialized, so I couldn’t ever pick her up.
Her brother is very social and I have had him for 7 years. He also isn’t real affectionate, but I know he loves me.
The catcher is, my parents cat acts like a rescue cat and loves me to death. Never leaves my side. Sleeps with me and when I get home from, he hears the key and omes flying to the door!!
My goal is to have Jackson somehow get these two to live in harmony with each other.
These are purebred British Shorthairs. My male is 7 years old and my parents cat is probably two years younger.
I am desparate and I don’t want to have to give one of them away. It was just to hard with my female.
My male is a Black Smoke and his name is Amos.
My parents cat is the traditional Blue coat and his name is Blu.
My baby girl is totally Black and her name is Andi.
My name is

Pictures to follow.
I am 60 and I live in Durham, NC and High Point, NC. I work at Duke University in the OR at the Eye Center.
All three cats are from the same breeder in Ca.
I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Sincerely,

Hi, we have a cat, Mookie, for about 6 yrs. she is absolutely adorable with us, me, my husband, & my 2 daughters and our son who doesn’t live with us but visits often. Our other son and daughter-in-law and grandsons, she hisses and swipes at.
She does that with anyone else who comes over. My problem is my grandson’s would love to interact with her but she is just down right mean. HELP!!!!! Please!
Everyone makes fun of her saying how mean she is, they never get to see her at her sweet best!. Also, we got her at 8 weeks, could that be part of the problem??
Hi,
Again, my name is Cathy, I am 61 Yrs. old, live in Las Vegas……just me and my 4 Persian cats: Rasputin 13, Nikka 13, Hemingway 8 and Sebastian who will be one yr. old on May 17th. First, Hemingway rules the house. He is very possessive and will not allow any other cats on the bed. Now, I have to back up. Poor little Nikka got a bad start in life. When I first got her she had ring worm, so naturally I had to isolate her until that cleared up. Not a great way to begin a relationship (from her point of view, she was in a strange house, sick and in a room alone. I would spend as much time with her as I could, but I couldn’t live there. She is a very small cat, maybe the size of a 6 month old, and has always been a little skitszoid. When I added Hemingway (he fit in the palm of my hand), Nikka bit him on the paw. He needed antibiotics and I told Nikka that she was going to be sorry, because Hemingway would be bigger than her one day. People who believe cats memories only last 20 minutes are so wrong. Hemingway has grown in to a beautiful, affectionate cat, but he never forgot about that bite. He would never harm her (physically), but he loves to intimidate her. He loves to get her into a corner and stare her down until she can’t take it anymore. She eventually leaps over Hemingway and the chase is on. Basically, it seems that Nikka has allowed herself to become Hemingway’s toy. I would like to see her totally relax, but there is always that level of stress. Last Oct., I got Sebastian. I knew Hemingway was going to be an issue due to his possessiveness, but I figured he would get over it. My house has become so stressful for all of us ( the cats and me) since the day I brought him home. I had to isolate Sebastian until he got his shots, etc. I also knew I had to bond with him, so Hemingway was kicked out of his domain ( the master….I know, bad idea). In the mean time, Nikka got the soft stool 1st and obviously I had to have her treated with flagyl. Hemingway and Ras also eventually got the soft stool and Hemingway is still being treated. Now, Hemingway is so super aggressive with Sebastian…….hissing, growling, swatting that I can only introduce Sebastian to the rest of the house (and cats) when I can give them my undivided attention. Progress is VERY slow. Now Sebastian is peeing outside the litter box (by the way, I had to litter train him….a new experience). Sebastian has had tests run to make certain it wasn’t a UTI, so now we know it is behavioral. Currently Hemingway is wearing a pheromone collar and being treated with Flaygyl. Now I have realized that Nikka has even more stress than before. I was watching them one day when I saw that Nikka was standing like a frozen statue. The reason?…….at one end of the room was Hemingway with Sebastian at the other end. No one was even looking at her, but she looked like a trapped rat (sorry Nikka). I adore all animals and my cats are my babies. I know this may sound strange, but I honestly feel the I have a soulful connection with Sebastian. There is more background that goes with that, but
in an effort not to make this my great novel, I’ll leave that for later. My whole point is that it truly hurts me that my household had been turned upside down. By the way, Ras and Sebastian do a quick kiss and go their separate ways. I am so stressed out, because I love them all so much, but I want them all to be happy, well adjusted cats. Because of the peeing, I have had to put Sebastian in the master bath except for the times when I can bring him out and watch to make certain he doesn’t pee all over the house. It would literally kill me if I had to give one of these guys up, yet I feel I am being selfish by keeping Sebastian in the master bath…..that is no life, and I feel I am just adding to his behavioral issues. I watch your show all the time and try to implement some of your suggestions, but so far….not good. For one thing, none of my cats like treats. Another tool I have used in the past is the squirt bottle. This is totally useless, because Sebastian loves it…..I spry him and he just blinks and looks at like “I want more mommy”. I hope I am not making this sound trivial, because we are all currently so stressed. I just want my babies to love life, me and feel safe. I am truly desparate. Oh, I forgot, my vet has also put Sebastian on amitriptyline. I do not like medicating my animals…..it really hurts me, and of course, now when I approach one that is on medicine, they run from me even when it is medicine time. PLEASE, help me and my babies Jackson Galaxy. I think I read somewhere that you will even due phone interventions. As I know how busy your are, so I would happily pay for whatever assistance you can give me. Thanks for listening.
