Hey everyone, I have two cats, the older one (female, calico), and younger one (male, American shorthair). We have had our older cat for about 8 years now, and have had our younger one for about 3. The older cat hates the younger cat, so much so that any time she sees him she attacks him, hissing, screeching, poofy tail, claws out. We tried a slow introduction for about six months, where we had them in separate rooms with a visible barrier so they could see each other if they so pleased. But that didn’t ended up working so we have had them basically completely separated with the younger one being downstairs all time and the older one being upstairs all the time. Every once in a while the younger young wants to come up stairs and then a fight breaks out, nothing serious has ever come about it. It really is just the older one starting every fight, as the younger one just wants to be friends. I was just posting here to see if there’s ANY chance I can get these cats to become at least tolerant of each other or should just accept them being complete separated. Thanks.
