I messed up on the introduction processes with my 1 1/2 year old torttie who I adopted a year ago, and the 2 year old bengal cat I adopted 2 months ago.
The bengal would have no problem I dont think accepting the torrtie but the torttie is very territorial, jealous, and mean to her. (both females about the same age) At first the bengal was seperated and after we let her out after a week or so she just hid most of the time, when she came down stairs the torttie would chase her.
fighting started getting worse, they are sometimes content laying in the ame room, sometimes they will even eat next to eachother, but then out of nowhere a cat fight will spur up over a sun beam or some random thing like that. sometimes they even draw blood.
I can tell bengal is trying to stand her ground but torttie is very stubborn. I show them both the same attenchin.
problem now is I have brough home a 3 week old male who needed to be bottle fed then im finding him a home, bengal LOVES him, torttie now hides up stairs and sits in a corner all day....she use to be SO sweet and affectionate, always around, cuddling and all. I dont see her now and shes always on edge.
I wont try introducing the kitten with her but I really want her to get along with the bengal, i love them both so much and both have such great personalities aside from there fighting. - I have tried some on the tricks I have read on the site but I am wondering if there is a way I can fix what i messed up with them. (does starting the whole reintroduction process really work?)
Im getting sick of one of them always hidding and being left out, I feel really bad
