*hissing

I took her to the vet two days ago for her vax booster. She behaved really well and they didn't notice anything strange. When we came back and I let her loose, Abba and Antonio had a whole 'ceremony' of sniffing each other's noses, mouths, sides and butts. They were very friendly. When Abba...

Today is one day where I second guess Antonio's adoption. Abba getting sick today, but also not coming to greet me at the door when I come home from work, not sleeping on my bed, rarely engaging in playing with me when he is around, her hissing and growling at him so frequently. We had a good...

Completely unrelated comment. Has anyone tried giving cats those Icelandic dry fish? I tried giving some to Abba and Antonio. She really liked the smell of it but he ignored it completely. This morning I woke up with Abba vomiting solids and clear liquid with some foam. I found the fish very...

Sadly, I tried uploading videos, but it doesn't work for me.

Hi everyone! Abba and Antonio have been the same since last time. Abba is still hissing and growling at him and now she also swats at him sometimes, but I have never seen nails or a lot of intention. Antonio is still trying to engage her in playing, but she is not ready. I also noticed that he...

Hi again! Cats have been sharing the space more and more. Abba still hisses and growls at Antonio, chases him and there's been some swatting. However, they haven't engaged in outright fights. It's as if Abba is trying to let him know she is pissed. Antonio never fights back, hisses or growls...

The one in the center of the room in both cases is Abba.

Saturday morning shenanigans There's a little bit of hissing and growling, but he is acting brave and she is being permissive. He is so curious about her.

Some updates after a while of not writing. The hissing and growling didn't stop, but I think it might be coming from a place of fear based on Abba's behavior. Sometimes I'm peacefully petting her and she will start hissing if she hears him. I had to extend Antonio's territory from just the...

Last night, I put a gate and they were able to see each other for the first time. Abba (RC) hissed and growled at Antonio (NC), even yowled a little, but did not attack the fence. I managed to feed them some churus throughout the interaction. She will not eat from her food dish though. She just...

No major updates to report. Abba (RC) still hissing and growling at Antonio (NC) when he is being loud. Antonio seems to really want to meet her. He approaches the door to the room where she is at an meows to her, puts his paw under the door and lays his head on the floor to look at her. I can...

Thanks for your words. Antonio (NC) discovered that sleeping under the covers of my bed is nice. He spent 3 hours napping today, coming out every once in a while to take a breath. When I was going to check on him, he would grab my hand with his paw or rest his head on my hand. I think he...

This is NC = Antonio. He loves hiding under the covers. This is RC = Abba, not happy with all the noises coming from Antonio (he is behind that door in the bathroom).

Some updates. Cats haven't seen each other yet. RC is getting more relaxed, but still hissing and growling at NC on the other side of the door when he is being loud (meowing or chirping). Most of the time, RC manages to ignore him. Even sleeping through his sounds. RC is sleeping on the covers...
