Hi everyone. I adopted a rescue cat named Sushi. He was found wondering the streets, thin and not very active.
After living with me for 4 months, he as doubled his size and is now very feisty. He wants to play all the time. When I stop, he cries and walks around where I am and whines until I play with him again. He came into the bathroom when I was taking a shower and started howling until I played with him again.
When he is at the vet, he growls and hisses at the other cats. He gets so upset even the vet, where I adopted him from, said she feels another cat might not work out as he appears to be a one family cat.
I am just upset that he is not happy. He enjoys his food, he sleeps everywhere in my house and with me at night. He purrs and loves my attention, which I give him all the time. I work at night 4 nights a week, so I would have to lock up the other cat in my spare room with his own litter box, and food. I just don't know what I would be coming home to eventually. I am not due to stop working in the office for at least 2 years, or I would try it, being home to supervise.
I feel I am denying him a full and happy life but afraid if issues arise and there is a cat fight or worse. He is not feral and not a hunter.
Really feel torn.
