The problem I am having is with one of my cats. She refuses to get along with one of my other cats. I have a male (fixed) and 3 female (fixed) but one of the females was born with a big eye (nomal)size and a small eye(abnomal) one of my females will not get along with her so what can I do? Is it because of the deformity or what? please help! I love them all.
Answers:
It has nothing to do with appearance. If the cat with the deformity came after the other cat (about 2 months), they will not get along. This will especialy happen if the cat that you ad before you got the other is an older cat and the deformed cat is young.
Animals are territorial, you may have too small of an area for all of your animals, the weakest one (or a newcomer) will be picked on. Maybe you should see if a friend would take one of your cats. If you love them, you will want what's best for them, not what you want.
It's not the eye problem. You need to work on the cats.Call the pet store or where you got the cats and ask them .Also the local vet can tell you what to do. You need to slowly introduce the cats to eachother and DO NOT put them together right away. That is way too much trouble and will stress all the cats out! You must keep them separated until they get used to eachother if that means keeping the cats in one room or using a gate to block the openings in your home. Then take the cats and play with them together, if that means holding one first in front of the other then taking him away for a few minutes than repeat.
Unless they are drawing blood, just let them sort it out. Cats are territorial. Once they have got the pecking order sorted out and who has the right to what perch and what bowl, it will settle down.
IF they are drawing blood, find the problem cat another home. The problem is not with the deformity but the personality of that cat.
I wouldn't get any more cats than you have. They are probably having problems finding enough territory in your house to satisfy them. The more cats you have, the more squabbles.
Maybe the eyed cat is the little one or maybe the oldest one. I think you should keep them apart for a time.
I have a female like that too, and haven't completely solved the problem, but do watch so that she doesn't get out of control. She tries to run off my old 15 year old male, but he's not going anyplace and wants to be #1 too. The other old male gets along well with her for some reason. Cats are just as strange as people! If your cat starts picking on the other, maybe a spray bottle when she can't see it would be one way for her to get the hint.
It's possible. Animals will sometimes turn on one of their own kind that they perceive as "deffective". If you can't keep them seperated, I don't know what else to suggest.
