I have a male stray/feral cat that’s I have been feeding and looking after the past 6 months. And i would like to move him to my home. However, i have a female cat and dog at home. And I am Worried that my cat will become territorial and urinate all over my house. She’s kinda prissy and dominate over her space.
Here is a bit of background on Jax as I call him. I be Him to be about 1.5-2 yrs old.
I work for a self storage facility and see cats roaming quite often. (My current house cat came from here as well. I found Her when she was just a week old and abandoned.) Jax showed up about 6 months ago. Scared, hating humans and hungry. For 3 months I could Not get near him. He would hiss and swat at me when I tried To feed him. One day he just decided to change his mind and he has not left my side since that day. He waits for me to pull into work and then meets me at my car. He will even attempt to jump in the car with me. He spends his days sitting on my lap in the office (as long as the boss isn’t here). I think I could Easily make him into a indoor cat and bring him home.
However, my ca (Luna) at home is very territorial. To the point where if the dog lays on a blanket she will spray the blanket. We set puppy pads down for the dog and the cat immediately pees on it. Will bringing a new cat into our home cause this behavior to increase? My boss isn’t going to let me keep Jax here much longer and winter is upon us here in Michigan. Any suggestions or thoughts would be great. Thank you all!
Here a picture of Jax he seems pretty happy when he is inside.
