Hi my name is Claire,
I have been surfing the internet and stumbled across this great website, I am really in need of some advice and really hope that i can find the answers here. I have three lovely cats but unfortunately one of them doesnt get on with the other two.
Originally I had just the one which is my eldest cat Sophie who is 4 and a beautiful tortoise shell. Then came along Simba who is 2 year old cream and white burmese. They didnt get along as such together, Simba wanted to play but sophie didnt so she tolerated him being around. Things were fine until i decided to take on another kitten a few months ago. It was never my intention to have 3 cats but i took in my youngest cat Dee Dee a female who is now 8 months old. Simba and Dee Dee have bonded wonderfully, eating, playing and sleeping together but of course now they are an 'item' Simba is pushing Sophie out of the picture all together. He guards the cat flap so she cant get in and even sits at the top of the garden path and chases her off if she comes near. When i do mange to bring her in she just hides under my bed and just hisses and spits at everyone. There have been some whopping cat fights between them. I thought things would settle down and they would tolerate things in the end but now Sophie has 'moved out' and spends all her time in the boiler room of the local social club thats situated on an industrial estate not far from my house. I keep bringing her back but she just goes off back there when she can. Does anyone have any advice or tips on what i can do? I dont want to re-home sophie but she really doesnt like living here anymore??
kind regards claire xx
sorry for the long post!!!
