I have an 8 month old female kitten. I have had her for 5 months. She has tons of energy and loves to play.
I have been seriously considering getting another kitten because she seems to be bored a lot. So I have let it be known that I am sorta' looking for a friend for her.
Well, the other day, a friend of mine told me about this very friendly stray cat at the apartment complex where he lives. I told him to bring it over right away because snow was expected by that evening.
He brought this 10 month-1 year old male cat into the house. My cat was very curious, but the other cat did a lot of hissing. So after a few minutes of this, I put the new cat outside on the patio while I tried to figure what I was going to do.
There is a 3" gap under my storm door (next to my patio). My cat can crouch down and slightly see what is going on. Well, both cats were hissing at each other for about 5 minutes until I decided that it was probably freaking out my cat.
I called my mother and asked her to come over to see the new cat. She fell in love with it and presently is keeping him.
Here's what has happened since then: My cat is no longer sleeping at the end of the bed with me. It almost seems that she is trying to ignore me. On top of that, she got on my bed yesterday morning and urinated on it, not just a little but a lot.
I can't figure what's going on in her mind. Does she want a companion or is she mad at me for bringing in another cat? BTW, I had her spayed about 7 weeks ago.
