anybody got a cat who never adjusts to other cats?
we are fostering a youngish spayed female (Gladys), probably still less than a year old. she obsessively growls at all the other cats in the house, including her own kittens! i know mom cats often actively push away their kittens when they're old enough, but she's still doing it even though they have no interest in her. she just has to see a cat, no matter how far away or what it's doing (playing, sleeping) and she growls like it's right up in her face.
i would think if a cat didn't like the company it would leave the room. instead she keeps hanging out in the areas most heavily populated with cats. the other cats don't seem to care, but it's so annoying to us humans.
she never transfers this displeasure to us, in fact she can be growling at a cat and a split second later is purring and rubbing up against us. i am trying to adopt her out as an only child, but i don't know what to do with her while she is still with us. is it possible she is sick or something? otherwise she seems fine, she just hates every other cat in the world
i should point out that we have a two-story house, plus a cellar, so it's not like i'm forcing all the cats into a closet and wondering why one is growling
