I know I have posted several times on Lily & Zoe's behavior, but I am at my whits end! I was crazy to think that getting a new kitten would help Lily, and that she would just magically accept her and love her like she did Callie. They are not getting along. All Lily does is growl, and hiss, all the time. Zoe will NOT leave her alone. Lily can't even use her litter box without Zoe under foot. Zoe is constantly attacking her, and trying to play. I feel so bad for Lily. My boyfriend says I am stressing way too much over this, that if they end up friends, good, if not, oh well they will be ok. I don't see it like that. Lily is my baby girl, I love her so much,and I've grown pretty attached to Zoe too. I just want my sweet happy Lily back, I feel like that part of Lily died when Callie died. I don't regret getting Zoe, and I am not saying I would ever re home her, but maybe I jumped into getting her a new friend too soon. I only waited three weeks after Callie died. I truly believed Lily would be more accepting, but she's not. Before she was just growling and hissing when Zoe would make her mad, now even when Zoe is being good she will still growl and his at her. She doesn't hurt her, she will swat at her when she jumps into her face. I think I will try the re introduction process, how do I do it? When I get Zoe spayed either next month, or early December, I think that'll be a good time to separate them when Zoe is healing up. Any other ideas in the time being? I know Zoe just wants to play, and be her friend, but Lily just sees her as this tiny little demon, who never leaves her alone. I try to distract Zoe.She has every toy you can imagine. Tunnels, stuff to bat at, everything, but she gets bored, and goes back after Lily. Sometimes I see them almost get along, I've seen them play a few times so there is hope. I try to play with toys with Lily, but she's never been big on toys. If I ever play with just Lily, Zoe comes in and Lily gets mad. I miss my old Lily, Before Callie died, she and Callie were best friends,and loved eachother. I remember one game Lily loved, hide and seek. I would hide behind a wall or door, and Lily would come find me, then she would hide and I'd find her. She also played this with Callie. I just want her to be happy again, to want to play again,and to happily play with Zoe. Please if anyone has any advice, please help. Her being mad all the time has gotten me depressed, and I dread coming home to the growling,
