I've had my cat Sadie for four years now, and she's a sweetheart, but she doesn't do well with other cats. Recently I brought a new baby into the house, my cat Tallulah. She's about a year old and has only recently been fixed in the last month or so because her previous owner didn't take care of her. She had a litter of kittens before she was fixed, as well.
It's been almost two months now since I brought Tallulah into the house, and she and Sadie still won't get along. They share the same food dish, litterbox, and everything else just fine, but if one gets too close to the other, there is a hissing, scratching, and yowling fight, and they get so loud! They're both declawed so neither can do any real damage. And I've been scolding them both each time they have an encounter, but it just falls on deaf ears. They're cats, after all. What can I do to make them get along? I'm afraid this will continue to go on forever, because things are not any better than they were the day I brought Tallulah home.
