I put the snatch on Scooter and he's at the Vet

While there I asked the vet what I could do about Scooter, the outdoor cat I've been feeding. Scooter has been very busy overpopulating the neighborhood. We discussed the fee and for $200 I can get him neutered, tested, and vaccinated. That was very kind of you to do. Isn't there some way you can give them a chance to work out their differences? Perhaps neutered, his scent will change and he'll be viewed differently by your cat-in-residence. Not a huge success. I took Scooter home yesterday and put him in the Cat Introduction Room. Espy was most unhappy and was hissing at Nipsy and Marlo and wouldn't eat. I spent some time with Scooter, petting him and getting rubbed in return. But Espy is very unhappy. This morning I let Scooter out the front door and fed him there as I've been doing. He yowled when I wouldn't let him back in. Then I went off to work. There are definite problems that will need to be worked out. Espy never really warmed up to Marlo, and she is just a little x-Girl. Scooter, being a big just x-Boy is clearly seen as more of a threat. Have you tried scent transfer? MLB Not yet. That will come soon, along with the Feliway. But at the moment Scooter is back outside. Espy still hissed most of yesterday evening but was more or less back to normal this morning. Scooter came by last night, along with Pretty Girl and Blue (his girl and son or daughter) for a feeding. This morning Scooter was there when I left for work so I gave him breakfast. I'm getting trained pretty well I think. I felt bad heading off to work since we're expecting really wet and windy weather today. If he's around when I get home tonight I think he's going to send the next day or so in the Cat Introduction Room. Maybe I'll try a more significant introduction this time. We're expecting nasty weather right through the weekend. I may just have to ignore Espy's tantrum; he was sure making some peculiar noises. |
