I need a bit of advise... Right now I have two kitties, Rosie (15 y/o,
mom was a stray, she's lived with me all her life, FIV+), and Chief
(formerly TeeCee renamed while I was on vacation and adopted by my dad,
FELV+ Intact male). Rosie hasn't handled Chief's addition to the
household well, she hates him. Last week she moved behind the ironing
board, refused to come out, and had bathroom accidents because Chief
wouldn't let her out of hte kitchen. He's not mean, just wants to be
friends, but he's 22lbs and she's 6... He's HUGE compared to her.
So, two nights ago I started taking her to her litter box. She'll potty
if I do (boxes are in the bathroom), and then taking her to bed. We
dont' have central heat, so sleeping with her locked in my room is
chilly, but she's much happier and hasn't had accidents.
My problem is that Chief lays up against the door and wails. He doesn't
meow or holler, he wails, long drawn out sounds that sounds like he's
being tortured. All night... last night I got up and threw socks through
the crack in the door until he left. (I had a migraine to boot and felt
like ringing his oversize white neck).
What can I do to make the situation more peaceable?
Steph
