I recently moved in with my long-term girlfriend who also has a cat. We moved to a fairly tiny apartment. The only door besides the front door is the bathroom.
Her cat wants to end mine. Her's does not hiss, growl or show overt aggression. It will stare at my cat whenever it can see her with wide eyes. When she has the opportunity she will jump on her and attack her. It's awful. It's almost as though she see her as prey.
It has been months they've been living together and my cat mostly lives on the fridge and some shelving to stay away from the other cat. We have the other one leashed to the couch and she doesn't get to move around a lot because when she is left to roam she will hunt and attack my cat.
I have searched forums, googled endlessly, etc. and have found no working advice. My cat is my kid, if she's not happy I can't be. If our two cats won't get along that'll be the end of me and my girlfriend which is a hard thing to think about.
Has anyone encountered this before? What can I do?
