Cats Not Getting Along

Heyheyhayley · 11-27-2011, 12:57 PM

I have had my cat Bat for 1 1/2 years now and recently my cousin found a kitten in the road and almost hit her with his car, so he naturally brought her to the cat lover of the family. Me. I've had her for probably about 2 months now. (Her name's Itty Bitty Kitty by the way.) At first Bat didn't like her, and after a couple days he warmed up to her, which I knew was natural. They slept together and got along perfectly fine. Now suddenly every time she gets near him he hisses at her and smacks her in the face until she runs away. What happened? Any ideas? Thanks!

Neko did that to her brother once, for a whole day she wouldn't have anything to do with him and freaked out when he got near her. My mom and I think it had to do with the new shampoo we washed our kittens with, maybe it made him smell different and she didn't like it. But after a day she stopped.

Aw, at least she's getting along better. I haven't washed him with anything different lately. He's been doing this for probably a week now, it was very sudden. It's like he woke up one day and hated her.

Her* I mean.

Are your cats fixed?

Heyheyhayley · 11-27-2011, 01:26 PM

Bat is neutered, Itty Bitty Kitty isn't fixed yet.

It could be because itty bitty kitty isn't fixed but idk enough about cats to say for certain.

I'm not sure. I'll probably get her fixed when I get a little money. When I first got her she was too young I think.

Most ppl recommend getting them fixed around 6 months old but my cats nekko and gato were already fixed and healed when I got them, you could just see where they had been shaved but no stitches or anything, they were about 12 weeks old then.

It could be that your kitty is starting to mature and come into heat....some do at 5 mos. You should have her spayed. At 3-4 mos. old or weighing at least 2 lbs., she can be spayed. Some humane societies spay/neuter even earlier.
