Cat help
I need help with my cats.
Back story:
I had miss Gwyn and adopted her when she was one to two years old. After about a year I thought she needed a friend and company so I wanted to get a kitten.
So I did.
The kitten is now one years old and they both still hate eachother. Plus the kitten now scratches up my carpet (in my apartment which I'll probably have to pay for), wakes me up at night and jumps on my other cat pissing her off.
Now she is extremely friendly, almost too much. I have tried stern talking, spraying with water bottles, nothing. She doesn't care. Repeats, repeats, repeats. It's stressing me out and driving me crazy.
I don't know what to do. When I looked on line I saw that they stated two options: get rid of the kitten, or get another kitten so they can play with eachother. Option two is not an option at the moment.
So I was going to have my friend watch the little one and see how they interact without eachother.
Is there anything else to try though? I mean it's a constant struggle and the young cat does not respond to anything you do. It's like you disaplining her doesn't go through her head. And, I WILL NOT declaw. not an option. I'd actually rather give her to someone else then declaw.
