We have a total of 5 cats. Two outdoor feral cats in an enclosure and 3 indoor cats. All strays. One is a calico that when she was spayed only has one kidney, one ovary and a weeping eye. One long haired cat and a tortoise shell. All are spayed. They are not friendly towards each other and the torti is the "boss" in the hierarchy. She has attacked each of the other two once. There needs to be lights on, on each floor at night. The torti must have her food at room temperature or she vomits. If there is a windstorm, thunderstorms etc, she will vomit and she is quite nervous as she comes to me for reassurance. She does not tolerate any other cat in my room at night, however, I bring in the long haired cat as I know the torti won't go after her when she is with me.
I have 3 litter boxes. Each cat has their own food dish. Presently, the other two will wait until someone is in the room before relaxing enough to move. I use a spray bottle as a deterrent. I know if the torti is getting into bullying behaviour because she will disappear upstairs if I enter the room. I am giving her something for hairballs. I am giving her a calming treat. I have tried Composure. I am presently trying Bach's Flower Essences. She is affectionate with us humans, but she is jealous of the other cats. I am now thinking of seeing if the vet will medicate her. I would rehome her, but she needs to be an only cat. If we leave the house, we lock up our calico in the kitchen for safety. I am desperate for other ideas.
I have parrots in the two front rooms so that limits the space for the cats downstairs.
Any ideas?
