Hello! I just found this site and I'm glad I did! My two hand-reared cats have some serious issues! The male, Fuzzy, is not able to get along with any of my other cats, including his (also hand-reared) sister. He hisses, growls, bites and absolutely will not socialize with other cats. He's very jealous when I interact with any of my other cats and attacks them. The female, Mrs. Kisses, seems to be very emotionally dependent on me. Lately, I haven't been able to show her as much attention as I previously have and she seems quite depressed and withdrawn. When I do try to spend time with her, she hisses at me and jumps out of my arms. She's isolating herself in the utility room, sleeping in the laundry basket. I don't know how to integrate these cats into normal kitty socialization with humans and other cats. What should I do?
