    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    After the incident and their separation her behavior went straight back to her confident self. Tail up walking around normally. I played with her about an hour later and she was fine. Separate there's no change in their behavior even after incidents like that. Minus when they're together they...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    So I had him on his harness and leash today while they were eating and he got a little close to her for her comfort and she attacked him. Literally so fur flying from him. But he didn't back down or leave her alone. She ended up running away. And after she did he tried to go after her but I kept...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    @di and bob unfortunately I can't get a third cat. I only have a one bedroom 640 foot apartment, I'd have no way to introduce a third cat. On top of that even if I had room, my apartment complex only allows a two pet maximum. @calicosrspecial I have tried to positive association by the gate...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    There's no reaction to the hissing/growling/spitting. He's just constantly reaching through the gate like in the video. He doesn't stop reaching, he doesn't back off or change his behavior. If I put it in human terms, she keeps telling him no, and he still jumps on her.

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    The black cat is the older female named Luna. The tan cat is the younger male named Nico. Regarding the reaching through the gate, he does this regardless of whether she's at the gate or not. I feel like his reaching through the cat is more of a "let me out please" or trying to get through...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    Mickpest, I would love to just "let them work it out," but it's not just chasing that occurs. He eventually corners her and then jumps on her and there's fighting. This occurs within 15 minutes. There's no distracting him. calicosrspecial, There is no indication between either of them whether...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    I hadn't responded because I thought I found a way for her to get used to him. I had been putting him on his harness and leash and removing the gate while I feed them. Not treats, but actual meal. While eating he'll ignore her. Half the time after he's done eating he'll try to go after her, the...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    To revive and old topic. There has been zero change between them. She still hisses at him through the gate. They can eat on opposite sides or the gate but that's it. All he wants to do is get at her. He reaches through the gate, tearing up my carpet, to try to reach her, regardless on what side...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    To revive and old thread... So I've been continuing trying to get them to get along. It's been 8 months since I brought him home. Following what I had said previously, iv was been putting him on a harness and leash. At first it was once a week then every couple of days. What's happens is ...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    Honestly I'd love all the cats. But there's literally no way I can get another cat right now. I live in a 600 square foot one bedroom apartment. It would be physically impossible to introduce him/her to the house properly and that's even assuming there wouldn't be any problems like there are...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    Neither of them have eitherbhiss at or hurt me. Her I've never heard hiss except at him. Him he's never hissed. The gate covers the whole doorway and neither can't cross over to get to the other. I make sure that both get played in front of the gate within view of the other. One thing I've...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    So in regards to her going under places, she's always loved this. Like going in bags, playing under the bed, dozing under the coffee table. Even before I ever brought him in. When she plays, she either plays lazily, or hunting it. Unlike him who runs after the toys usually, she'll stalk the...

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    I know! It's super rough. I have been looking for a new home for home for a while now. But he's such a sweetheart. Super affectionate. Very playful. He loves to be picked up and held like a baby. Heck he even loves belly rubs! Not to mention his fur is super soft!

    I'm sorry you're having the same issue as me. It's really tough and frustrating. Especially when it feels like it'll never be solved. I wish you the best of luck!

    New cat wants to play but old cat wants none of it

    So what happens when I let them together is hell approach the resident cat. She'll back away hissing and growling and he'll continue to approach her. When she's cornered he'll pounce at her. She'll yowl and fight him and he'll play fight with her but never sound or look like he's really...
