I am the owner of two wonderful and friendly cats (LB - 6 year old black shorthaired male; Cleo - 4 year old black long haired female). Both are indoor cats (LB was outdoor cat for first couple of years, until I got him) and have been fixed and declawed on front. I recently moved in with my girlfriend who has a 8 year old female tabby (Tosha). The cats have been in the same house for two days now and I had them separated on the first day without any trouble (no grawling or wild activity). Today however, LB and Tosha actually met face-to-face and it was NOT pretty! Tosha and LB met a few feet apart and just stared at each other and grawled a little (as I figured they would). After a few seconds Tosha turned into a wild cat and chased LB around the house for about a minute. I chased after them in an attempt to seperate them but didn't have much impact. They ran right by me like if I wasn't even there. I need advise in how to get Tosha under control. LB and Cleo have been around other cats before with little trouble, but I don't know what I should do about Tosha. My girlfriend warned me that Tosha goes crazy around other cats, but I never thought it would come to this after watching their reactions toward each other before coming face-to-face.
Any advise or suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
