Posts: 99 Jun 20, 2009 13:47:23 Critter Lover	Tags : cat, older, new, intro I am having a problem with my Kashmir - she is an 11 year old cat and she is soooooo upset that Sadie is in our home now. She has always been a sort of anti social cat! Sadie is in her cat carrier except for feeding and playtime. Kashmir won't come out of the bedroom and when we showed her Sadie she hissed at her but looked afraid. I love my Kashmir and don't want her to be so upset. Any ideas? Is this normal? Will they ever like each other? My dog Dakota and Sadie are great - he licks her and she plays with his paws. But I am very worried about Kashmir. click free to give dog and cat food!

They may never LOVE each other, and lay together & groom each other BUT they will work things out, each figuring their 'place' and hopefully learn to live peacefully.

We'll just hope and pray these two get along and yes Sadie does think the world revolves around her and so does Kashmir - it does doesn't it? click free to give dog and cat food!

She's been acting so strange - was constipated but is now fine, picky eating. I've been giving her lots of extra attention and she is coming around. But it breaks my heart and I can't give up Sadie - if my daughter holds Sadie and I hold Kashmir about 1 or 2 feet apart - she stares at her or just looks away, then hisses at Sadie. But then she acts like she is afraid to come out even though Sadie is in her cat cage most of the time. Will Kashmir ever be her old self again? click free to give dog and cat food!

They may never be the best of friends but they will work out something. Hang in there!!! Your a great furmom!

Posts: 99 Jun 26, 2009 07:59:29 Critter Lover	Thank you once again my friends! We got some more poop today!! Kashmir is eating but not like usual - I think she is very upset about this new 'thing' she senses!! At least this morning she came out meowing as she usually does to eat when I get up. Now she is in bed with my daughter. Doesn't help that there are storms out there. Praying she gets all better and is my Kashmir again. click free to give dog and cat food!
