Minnie has always been a strange cat. She is unfreindly to people and animals. She doesnt like to be petted very much. She is very loving in her own way.. She loves all of us very much, as long as we arent messing with her. She is actually my most affectinate cat..in her own weird way.
However like I said she is unfreindly, she always has been. Something happened to her when Jessy got fixed. Jessy is her kitten for those who dont know. When Jessy got back after he three day stay at the vet, Minnie did not like her anymore. This was in April.
Minnie still doesnt like Jessy, she hisses at her anytime she is around. She also quite liking Lilly shortly after this time and also hisses at her. Minnie still is ok with Jerry, although she never lays and cuddles with him anymore.
she becomes very angry anytime the other cats are around her.
Then we got Simon. All the other cats are begining to accept Simon as it has been a little over a week now since he has been here. Minnie of course hates Simon. I figure she always will..since she also hates Lilly and Jessy her own kitten. Up until today she treats Simon just like the others, she hisses and becomes noticably angry when Simon is around.
Well today I was outside playing with the children. I came in for a drink and Simon came into the kitchen, He meowed at me with is really loud Siamese demanding of my attention meow. It actually startled me it was so loud. I laughed at him and turned to ask him why he was coming in there to scare me. Well his lip and side of his face were bleeding! I was verry upset, and scooped him up. I took him into the bathroom to inspect his wounds and see how serious they were.
They are quite obviously scratch marks.. not very deep or wide at all. However deep enough to bleed.
Well I wasnt in here, bit Simon did not do that to himself. I am quite sure Minnie did it. I would say I am positive Minnie did it.
So now I dont know what to do! I love all of them, getting rid of them isnt an option! However I do not need Minnie attacking the other cats! Do you think she only did this because Simon is the new cat on the block..and in time she will learn to tolerate him.
Or is she just a big meanie and will eventually attack Lilly or Jessy if they cross her the wrong way???? Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing?
