Hello everyone
I have a 15yr old Tortie, Shady who has never liked the black kitten I rescued when he was a new born. He is now 4. I neutered him at 6 months. Shady is spayed too.
Ever since I added him to our home she’s hissed at him and won’t be around him. If she could get outside she’d run as fast as she could. When I initially had him I kept them separate. I let her hear him and sniff him under the door for about a month. I then held her around him and let her see him for short amounts of time, she would become upset so I’d let her run away in the house. She even lived outside the house in a cat mansion I setup in Florida under the covered garage. She would not come back inside. I’ve moved to California with them (driving) I have this set up in my apartment that’s not ideal at all but it keeps them separate and she has peace. He was always curious of her and wanted to play which I think was our first problem.
Her food, litter box and numerous beds are up high on a platform in my room but it’s not enough space for her. I built a catwalk that travels the entire way around my apartment, the boy, Ziggy can’t get to her but she won’t use it. It’s been 5 months since I had it built and she just looks at it and meows. I spend a lot of time with her on the platform but it’s only 7’x 4’
Please help with some silo tins to reintroduce them so that we could have a peaceful home(and I don’t yave to stand in a ladder petting and brushing my poor old kitty.
Thank you so much!!
