Well, I have to kitties right now who are not getting along very well. My older cat who is a 2 year old male doesn't like my recently adopted (about a month and a half ago) 7 month old female. He's trying to establish his dominance over her by jumping on her back (he's neutered and she's spayed btw) and licking her alot but then turns to bite her. And she doesn't want to accept him as dominant so she does the same. I've been using a spray bottle on whoever starts the fight so I can separate them. So far, they sometimes play together but the get irratated and pounce on each other. And of your suggestions would help though.
Background info on both cats:
Simba has been with me for 2 years. I received him as a 2 week old because they were going to send all his sibblings to the pound. He was very anemic and had an
upper respiratory infection. He was treated and bottle fed for almost 2 months. Never been around any cats until he was 5 months old. I got a male kitten (3 mos.) and Simba didn't like him so he had to be given away. Then at 1 1/5 a cat came to visit us. She was 1 year old and very dominant and didn't allow Simba to get close to her so they never fought because Simba kept his distance. He's also extremely spoiled and gets anything I can find suitable for a cat. He sleeps next to me and although he bites and scratches me at times I'm sure he loves me.
Sky was adopted from the shelter because I liked her and Simba seemed to like her too and also because she was sick. I know from working at that shelter that they put animals to sleep if they are sick so I had to take her since she was so young. She had lived with other cats before. She recovered from most of her troubles except
ear mites which she is being treated for.
Sorry for the long post. Just trying to give you every bit of info on them as I can in case you have any suggestions. Thanks
