This is about kitties btw.
Ok so about a month ago i got Osiris (6 months male). I already have two other cats... Tiger (5 year old male) and Nollee (1 year old female). We started off with Tiger and decided he needed a buddy so we added Nollee. It took Tiger and Nollee three days and they have been best friends ever since. I decided 6 months later to get Osiris so Nollee had a more energetic friend (Tiger is a little lazy and um... well-loved). Nollee and Osiris get along ok, except Osiris is a little too rough when he plays and cleans her, so eventhough she tolerates him... she isnt a huge fan. Tiger on the otherhand was very dominant when I brought Osiris home (we did the seperation thing for about a week) he would attack him alot, stalk him, hiss, etc. Things havent gotten much better except now the roles have reversed. Now, Tiger is less aggressive and actually interested in Osiris, the problem is Osiris depises him after the introduction process. Everytime Tiger comes near Osiris he growls, etc. Well... Tiger, being man of the house, gets irritated with Osiris's attitude and attacks... Here is the big problem... Everytime Tiger attacks Osiris, Osiris has a diarrhea outburst on either the floor, wall, computer desk... wherever.
Osiris has had a gas/poop issue since I brought him home. After a vet check and fecal exam everything came out fine. So I changed his diet and put him on probiotics (bout 4 days ago). It seems the probiotics arent helping but possibly making his poo more liquid. I should also add that last week thursday i got Osiris neutered and he has been seperated up until 2 days ago (still seperating him while we are at work, and sleeping). Im sure he poo's because he gets scared, which would be ok if the poo where more like poo instead of liquid. I feel so bad. My bf wants me to get rid of him because things arent working out but I love him dearly. He is an awesome cat, a total people cat. What can I do to help the situation? I cant keep them seperated forever, and I hate to see Osiris stressed whenever Tiger comes around? I dont want to get rid of him, I dont give up on my animals
Sorry this was so long, Im just crushed by the situation.
