Moose and Lucy have never been the best of friends, but a couple hours ago she chased him down, cornered him and came away with a mouthful of his fur. Moose got all upset; I picked him up and carried him out to the living room and sat him on my lap, speaking soothingly, hoping he'd calm down a little. When that didn't work too well, I brought out the large "time out" cage I've used during reintroductions. Moose went right inside and I shut the door, just for safety, and brought out a bag of treats. Lucy and Rocky came running and they all shared some treats within a few feet of one another, which seemed to have done the trick, so far. I've used food as a diversion in the past and it's worked.
Moose is still in the crate with the door open, sleeping, and she's laying not too far away and all's calm. I may stay up all night just in case I need to referee again!
How long do cats remember things like this? Is it possible they've both forgotten and will get along as before?
Thanks!
