My baby cat doesn't accept the other tomcat, what should I do?

Hi,

Almost seven months ago, I adopted a kitten. Coincidentally, my sister also adopted a tomcat. After a month, she discovered she was pregnant and no longer had time to care for her cat, so she gave him to me. Unfortunately, they're always attacking each other (and they'll do it with their claws, almost hurting themselves) or hissing at each other. I know this can take a while, but it's starting to frustrate me. Are there any cats that are solitary?

There could be a problem with the individual. Cats and cats have very different ways of playing, cats pick up, get up and die on average much more coarse than cats, and they are also very different in character, which can also lead to problems, in cats you can say the same and equally sociated, of course it depends on the individual animals, have even cats and cats at home and they understand each other super, as our cats also have a very gentle character.
A calm-retaining animal can be stressed and deterred by a raised and young Lausbuben, in addition, your cat is already almost adult, the cat still in the pupil, even that can sometimes lead to complications.
It is also, of course, the question of how the exact process of socialization was and how it is with the allocation of resources. Enough cat clos? (Faust rule 1 clo more than cats in the house).

I have also copied an answer from an answer to the topic of cat reunification, she has many very helpful tips on what to do and also volunteers in animal welfare.

Hello,

I would work with the following:

In a large apartment in each room insert a flisept or feliway plugs. It takes 2-4 days until the feeling of wellbeing has spread and can work.

Please also apply large-area Felisept soothing spray (see below topic Resources)

Both, if necessary, always separate and reorganise.

To ensure that both are sufficiently stressed. So play, play, play… outpower.

But before I get deeper into the subject of “collection”, some basic knowledge ….

It is important for you to understand why cats at all and what they are fighting for: cats have no classical ranking (
Alphatier & Ranking in Cats – is that it?) and therefore is not fought. It will be
Resourcesfought/buried that were there:

Feed

Sleeps

Toilet

favorite person

Zone

So you have to make sure that the cats have to fight as little as possible about these resources.

How can you prevent this?

Feed– buy chip-controlled Surefeed feed machines for both cats. So every cat can eat without fear that the other one will eat their food. This avoids fighting for stress and fodder.

Sleeping places –Make sure that the entire apartment is adequately equipped with scratching and climbing facilities as well as caves and elevated sleeping places.

Toilet –At least 2, better set up 3 cat clos (without hood) in the apartment.

favorite person –a lot with both cats and play.

Territory –Here, Pheromon plugs, such as femisept based on cat mint, can help to create a well-being fragrance throughout the apartment and thus have a relaxing and balancing effect.

Now on the topic of socialisation:

I would like to share a video that brings you right forward with all his content on the subject of socialization.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKlRlYfRUaU

In addition, I would produce group fragrance among the cats and you.

How to produce group fragrance?

Take a garment worn by you, or a lot of used towel.

Now go with this garment, or towel to the 1st cat, rubble them gently on the entire body, including laps and paw bales.

After that you go to the 2nd cat and also gently rub it with exactly this garment that now not only after you, but also after the 1st. Cat smells.

In the next step, you will now go back to the 1st cat with this garment that smells intensely after you, after the 1st & 2nd cat, and rub it again on the whole body.

You can do this several times in this form. If several people live in the household, one makes the optimal way with the smells of the other people also exactly the same.

I wish you and your two cats all good.

Best regards 🙋 ♀️ +😺 +😺

A successful combination can take really long, but can hardly be implemented with very different cats, does not have to, but the likelihood is present. If all knits are torn, the cat would be better off with another female fellow at a similar age and character, or the cat with another matching fellow.
Our domestic cats are not single-goers like their wild relatives, but only single-jägers, but the selection of the suitable artisans is also important and the question as the cat is socialized. The longer cats are kept singly, the more problematic their social behavior is compared to fellows.

All cats are single loners. If they’re grown up, they’re just tolerating each other. Or get out of the way. Friends – or companions – will not. This also applies to large cats. leopards, pumas, lynx etc. + Wildcats are on their own + this is no different for housecats. And if you have bad luck, there is war.

Cats are single hunters, not single-goers. Our domestic cats have developed a different social behavior from their wild relatives through adapting to humans.

No. They are tolerating themselves. They play as children, they grow up, it’s over with cuddling. We’d just like to, put it out of + believe in the playmates. If they have a cat flap, they’re not on the way at night. A great error of so-called catmas. Contracts are 5 to 6 out of 100. 94 to 95 not.

No, that’s not how to cast his cats. Openers meet outside sometimes. We had a hangover that was always picked up by a strange hangover. They then sat together in the sun or went somewhere.

Only lion hunts in the pack. Guys eat first + bite boy tit. If they are tired, play + cuddle (!) because no one is. Clean strange cats, play + cuddle?? Cats scatter, swing cats + move back. That’s how you don’t lock them in.

The island of Aoshima would otherwise have a very great problem if cats were single-goers, at about approx. 120 cats on a comparatively small island. The group constellations of cats are also very fascinating. ^^

Cats are not single-goers and they do not only tolerate themselves but often understand themselves very well. Clean each other, play together, cuddle. But this happens even if you have cats that match each other, which is very important.

By the way, lions are not single loners.

Now you say it yourself, but still believe it. From me.

Of course, there can be cat stress, you can’t just put any cats together and think well, you don’t even share the apartment with any x-loving person you have nothing in common with, for example, and don’t bother you with any person or you’re let alone if there’s suddenly a stranger at your home and should live with you.
Even in cats, the right approach and the selection of the right species is important, because the sex of the cats can already be decisive for success or failure. If you have a Garfield hangover, you won’t put Chuck Norris on him.
In the same way, they have to be properly associated and also among siblings, the individual plays a role, which is why one also says that equal and equal is happy to join.
In most cat stress, it is obvious that either the combination does not fit, the cats do not fit as an individual, lack of resources, incorrect compositions according to OPs, health problems etc. the list is long. Can also start here on GF times a survey or discusion, here there are lots of cat holders with yearly cat experience that are active in animal welfare etc.

You can only look at a good question how much questions are asked about general cat stress. And if you search for the authors of such links, you often encounter the website designer of cat food manufacturers.
