Hi,
I'm new to the forum and am not entirely sure if this is the best play to post this topic, but I was hoping some breeders might have some experience with this kind of situation.
I have an un-spayed 1.5 year-old pure-bred Ragdoll that I'm planning on breeding soon and the other day I acquired another female, an almost 2 month old Silver Persian. The kitten has taken the bedroom while my old cat stays in the rest of the apartment, but always in a position where she can see the kitten, and is extremely vocal about her displeasure, almost constantly whining and hissing. My gentle Ragdoll has even become aggressive towards my partner and I on a few occasions, but has yet to injure either of us. I'm aware that having two un-spayed females is not a good idea but I was hoping there wouldn't be a problem as the kitten is quite young.
It's only been a few days but I am already beginning to lose hope and am getting progressively worried about my Ragdoll as she doesn't seem to be eating much, or doing anything at all in general, aside from sitting on a chair watching the kitten from the other room. Of course I have tried to give her a lot of attention and feed her her favorite snacks, but she shows no interest, and will occasionally hiss and bat at me when I try to pet or play with her.
Has anyone had this kind of experience and do you have any suggestions? I would be extremely grateful for you advice.
Thank you!
