So, I was in temporary custody of a cat for someone, and it was my job to find the cat a new home. I brought her to a friend's place where they had no other cat on Saturday (in fact, later they told me they had never had a cat in their lives), but they called me Monday to say the daughter's allergies were acting up and they couldn't keep the cat. ARGH!!!
So, yesterday (Monday), I brought her to the back-up plan person, who is a friend of mine who is very familiar with cats, has had them all her life, takes in strays, etc. She has one male cat already (neutered).
I brought my female (spayed) cat over to her house last night. I emphasized a MILLION times that they should be separated at least for the first few days. But, she just doesn't want to do it, and they saw each other right away, and her male cat was totally fine with it all, but my female cat hissed and growled.
So, after telling her a million times AGAIN that she should be separating them, I am just giving up because she refuses to separate them.
Today she told me that my cat has totally dominated the house and is backing her huge male cat into a corner and is hissing and growling at him.
Can this EVER WORK OUT NOW???? I feel like she ruined the whole thing and my cat will always be pissed off at the other cat and not settle down.
Thoughts?
PS -- my female cat has lived in the past with another female cat and a dog and was fine with it.
