I think one of my cats is dealing with jealousy issues! I have three cats in my house. One that stays indoors (Mickey), one that goes in and out (Cali), and one that only goes outside with supervised visits (Meowy). Recently we received a new little arrival (Tabs) who was very timid at first (since she was sick and has a collapsed lung) but is now becoming more active.
Now that Tabs is feeling better she wants to play with the other cats. Mickey and Cali are fine, but Meowy is having a fit! She was the baby before and isnt anymore. We are trying to pay more attention to her than Tabs, but its still not working. She has become very aggressive at times, hissing, growling, scrathing and biting. She gets so angry when we try to pick her up.
We are paying so much attention to her, but for some reason its just not enough. I know Meowy and Tabs will get used to each other with time, but what about the agression? Will this go away? Does anyone have any advice?
