Hello!
We had taken a 2 years old cat in to help a friend of a friend out.. The original owner had to leave the country unexpectedly so she left her cat Meimei at a friend''s apartment. This friend has 2 cats, one of which is a real bully. During the 2 month Meimei stayed with this new family, the bully cat has been hissing and hitting Meimei non-stop in her 600 sf one-bedroom apartment. Hearing about how traumatic the household is for Meimei, my husband wanted to help so we drove 3 hours to pick Meimei up and move her in with us.
What I had not expected was how the 2 month stay with a bully cat has influenced Meimei''s personality. Her original owner said Meimei used to be extremely sweet with people and cats alike. However even after we leave her in a separate room all yesterday, whenever we tried to introduce our 3 resident cats to her Meimei hisses, growls, and even swats at them.
I feel especially bad for the youngest cat Nina (4 month younger than Meimei)because she is so innocent and all she wants to do is going up to say hello, and play.
Is it going to get better? All my 3 cats adopt to the house and previous cats within a few hours, but Meimei is full of anger and fear I don''t know what to do???
