Here's the Original Post
I've been watching them interact for a while, and have noticed a few things. If resident cat (who is half the size of new cat) is laying somewhere completely still, she won't go after him. She totally ignores him. However, as soon as he starts moving, she attacks, fur flies, nails come out, there's hissing and spitting and growling and poofing. New kitties eyes are dilated and her tail flicks real fast. She's in aggressive mode.
Resident kitty just wants to be left alone. he doesn't start a flight, he doesn't really even look at her, though if she gets near him he will growl as a warning. He doesn't try to hit her, or anything. But she's deaf, so she can't hear his warning.
She doesn't have a negative reaction to his smell, and he just moves away from anything that has her smell on it.
So I'm not sure what this is?
Because... really, she doesn't seem to care if he doesn't move, but as soon as he moves she pounces.
what's up with that?
Also, she's not peeing in her box, which I didn't realize until today. I had a sweater on the floor that WAS on the chair and she peed on that, pooped there too, but the pee is the worse. UGH.
