Thread: Older cats not accepting new kittens

Hi Wendy,

OOh dear! Its not an easy situation is it? Trying to keep all the cats happy and making them all feel loved and important is hard work.

The last two days have not been so bad. They all ate together in the kitchen earlier. All on the same level as well. I usually have the two young ones on the floor , the moody male on on the work surface and the tabby girl on top of the cupboards( !! ). Sometimes, if its not raining, two of them eat outside the door on the patio.

So that is progress!


I think Tequila, the ginger hissing beast needs his own space. I am thinking of getting him some sort of cat igloo/hooded bed/kennel type thing where he can retreat to. I am not sure where it will go though. Brandy, my female tabby has her own place above the cupboards in the utility part of the kitchen. She has a quilt up there for a bed. She escapes up there and feels it is her place.

I am not sure if the Zylkene is going to work. I read up on it. I thought it was some sort of cat Prozac, but it is actually a food substance based on milk. I have about a weeks worth left and then back to the vet, so maybe if he continues with the aggression he might need something stronger.

let me know how you are getting on !

All the best, catkrazy
