Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've been here.
I have 2 cats, Winter(who is 6) and Avalanche(18months). It's been a rough road, adding another cat to the household. Funny thing is...if there is more than one person or if they are alone, they're quite happy to share the same room or the same space(couch). Not so when I'm home alone with them. Lots of jealousy! Anyways, Avalanche is a little boogar. Loveable, but a boogar! He always wants to play with Winter, and she normally wants him to leave her be. He is always bugging her, jumping on her when she's on her favorite chair, chasing her around the house. I don't get why she doesn't whack him one, but she always runs away! Anway, this morning, Avalanche was being particularly obnoxious. He even followed her under the shelf where she went to hide from him. I was trying not to intervene, and he eventually got bored and left her alone. Winter followed me into the bathroom, which is not at all uncommon. I often end up with the both of them in there.
She hopped into the tub, and we were playing. She was rolling around, being very silly, and then suddenly, she started to poop in the tub! She has NEVER done this before. I called the vet, and, based on what I told them about her stool and the morning's activities, they thought it was a behavioral response. She certainly is acting normal otherwise. (Eating fine, drinking fine, etc.)
Any thoughts on how to handle this? I'm taking them to the vet for shots soon, and plan on discussing this with him in more detail. I've been reading up on dealing with two cats, and am thinking of separating them and then reintroducing them.
Thanks for any ideas!
