Hi guys, i just moved into this apartment a week ago, and my roommate has a 8 years old female cat, Luna, and I moved in with my 3 years old male cat, Pepe. They are both fixed. I wanted Pepe to have a cat company that's why I chose this apartment. I did the slow adaptation(separated rooms, smell first, then visual contact). They can be in the same room (with my supervision), no fight so far. Pepe is completely fine, he tries to approach her slowly, but she hisses, then he just stops. Luna hisses but has never attacked and is not in attack position either, even when pepe gets pretty close. What I'm worried about is that Luna is hissing at me also, which makes it difficult to do the adaptation with Pepe. I understand she is defending her territory, but how can I show her everything is ok when she also sees me as an intruder? My roommate is never home, so it could be that she is lonely, jealous of all the attention I give my cat. Any advice on how I can get her to relax would be appreciated. I feed her, I play with her, I talk to her, try to spend time with her... But at the end she still hisses. She completely changes when my roommate is home, she goes back to be a sweet cat, even with me. How can I do this adaptation easier without my roommate since she is never home?
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
