Hi;
I have an older rescue Shmoopy, who has always hated everyone but, strangers (people not cats). None of my other cats go near her. They give her a wide berth. She never forgets any "injustice" she feels she has suffered. We love her and have always treated her well. It took her 5 years before she wouldn't take a swing at us. For example, she was lets us pet her and decides she's had a enough (no warning). Well, I brought in the latest and hopefully the last feral (One eye, now called Bear) that has been abandoned near our house. Now, that he is walking around and becoming familiar with everything he has taken a liking to Schmoopy. She hates him more than any other being in our home. She starts a blood curdeling SCREAM when she sees him. This excites him (We got him neutered when I brought him in) and he runs to her. Unfortunately, the first time he was able to. He touched her before I could intervene. This has made her even more angry and crazy. He runs to her everytime the low growl begins. It is insane. I have tried the feliway, no help. All the others are happy but, schmoopy won't get over This. I keep her seperated and carry her everywhere she wants to go, but if she sees him it all starts. He follows and that makes her crazy. She'll hurt me if I don't hurry and get her safe and put down. But, there is Bear watching and she knows it and won't calm down. Can anyone help me stop the madness. I don't yell, I speak calmly to Bear and it stops him in his tracks, but she won't get over knowing that he is close. I tried rescue remedy today (forgot I had some) Help us please
Thanks;
Rose
