I just adopted a stunning female russian blue from the local animal control. I've had her about a week now and things just seem to be declining as the days go on =(. Mya and her seem to be starting to put up with each other (as long as I'm not in the room. Mya is possessive). My biggest issue is that Avalon (the new adoptee) seems to be obssessive compulsive. When she sees something that interests her, she goes on a mission and NOTHING will stop in her way. Her biggest thing is doors. The second she hears or sees a door open, shes through it before you can even think about stopping her. We've tried scaring her away and we've tried a spray bottle. The spray bottle worked for the first day or two but now she just ignores it. She would only try to rush the door every so often but now its gotten to where she does it EVERY time. I dont so much mind her running from my room but I'm going to be moving them into an apartment in a few months and then in a year or so we're going to be moving out of state. I'm extremely worried that shes going to get out of the apartment and somethings going to happen to her.
I really do like her but things just dont seem to be working out. My fiance absolutely hates her now and I'm quickly loosing hope.
I was debating maybe taking her to the humane society and picking out a different cat while I'm there since they have more info on the behavior of their cats.
I really want a cat that is like Mya and puts up with everything. Avalon has very short patience before she starts to hiss. Mya has never hissed at me and I've tried to walk her on a leash!
What do you guys think I should do?
