1115.0. "HOME WANTED" by MILVAX::NICKERSON () Tue Feb 16 1988 12:56

    I would like to find a good home for a grey, 3-year old, female
    persian.  She has been spayed and declawed in front.  House pet
    only.
    Presently she is having a hard time with the kitten, 5-months old,
    that I originally got her for for company.  I am of the belief that
    they are both loners.
    
    If there is anyone interested, please contact me at MILVAX::NICKERSON.

    How long have you had the 2 together.  You've got to give them
    some time to adjust.

    There have been a couple of notes lately with good suggestions for
    getting cats used to each other.  Maybe someone could find them
    and post a pointer?  I do occasionally work rather than spend all
    my time in feline notes....

    I am confused regarding your looking for a home for the cat you
    had originally. 
    All cats bicker with newcomers.  Cats work things out in their own
    way in establishing territiories etc. Cats are basically loners,
    that won't change but eliminating one from the area.  I never met
    a cat in my life that wasn't put out by the presence of another
    on their territory.  But, with patience, it can work out.
    But if you are really of a mind to let go your first cat, just remember
    that if you try to find a playmate for the kitten things won't be
    much different in them trying to get along with each other.
    I guess I would like to as you straight out - is it that you yourself
    feel that two cats are a handful?

    I am also very confused.  You have had the grey cat for three years
    and are now considering giving her away for the new kitten.  I don't
    understand.  You've had the older cat longer and yet are willing
    to part with her in lieu of the kitten which you just received.
    I also think that you should give them more time together or give
    the kitten away, not the cat.
