Hi All
I have a bit of a problem.
I'm new here, so here is my story:
Last june I got my puppy, and I already had a cat, Oliver a 7 year old castratet red and white cat. Oliver was a bit scared or chocked by the sight of Luna, my labrador puppy, and after 4 months he was still living on top of the kitchen cabinets!
So I thought: "Why not get a kitten to act as alink between the dog and the cat?" And so be it. October 31. 2003, I got Oskar, a approx. 12 weeks old grey kitten. Oliver and Oskar seemed to get on fine, and now Oliver is everywhere, in the livingroom, the bedroom and kitchenfloor.
But all is not well in my little household! Oskar is chasing Oliver, and Oliver is not returning the ounches but tries to escape instead. Every time Oskar attacks Oliver, Oliver is screaming. Not very nice to listen to, and I break it up, whenever I can, but I do work, so is not home all the time. Oskar has not yet been castrated, but will be in about a months time.
I've been told I've put a teenager and a pensioner together.
Now I'm wondering, will it help if Oskar is castrated? Because this is not fair on Oliver. I need to say, Oliver was totally downtrodden by my first cat, she is no longer among us, because of inbreeding she started to attack me.
Oliver has been scratched on his ear today, and I'm getting desperate.
Hope you can help me! I DO love my little kitty, but am at my witts end!
Jeanette
