Dear all Cat lovers
I am sitting at my laptop crying as I write this. I am at my wits end and I don't know what to do. Tonight my four year old cat whom I love dearly and who I have raised since a tiny kitten attacked me. I got a 9 week old kitten a month ago and have done the whole swop towel thing with their scents. Keep kitten and her separate so that they can get used to the sounds of one another. The kitten sleeps in the bathroom and my Grey older cat on my bed with me. I have stayed with both of them when introducing them and its been hissing and spitting and hatred from my older cat since day one. Its been a month and it seems like its getting worse. She won't even come into the house anymore, I have had to put a basket with a blanket in the garage so she can sleep there because she refuses to sleep with me on my bed anymore. She comes in to eat and the leaves again, she stays around the garage area but doesn't like my home anymore. I feel like such a bad mother.
I feel like the worst Mom in the world like I have made the worst mistake. When my older cat attacked my face when I was holding her tonight i got such a fright , have I literally changed her personality??? and turned her into hating me I don't know what to do.
I don't want to get rid of Tigger my kitten she is adorable and we have really bonded . When I let tigger out to run around with Cous Cous in the house, there is hisses and spits from the older cat but viscious and she wants to hide from the kitten. As soon as theres a gap the older cat is looking for a way out of the house.
Aside from giving the kitten away to someone else whom will love and care for her which will break my heart too. I do not know what to do and am at my wits end. Please help
