How to help the Iriomote Cat?

My cat is angry/ scared ! Help ?

  • I have a 9 month old cat which i got about 2 months before. However, a few weeks before, my family had already started letting in a friendly stray cat ( we gave him food, let him stay for a while, then he goes out). So when i got my cat, my cat looked scared and hissed a few times when they met, the stray cat didn't care much (he was the idgaf type of cat). Eventually my cat got used to the house and soon the stray cat. He even started playing around with the stray. But yesterday my parents found a lost/abandoned cat which looked slightly younger than mine. So my parents decide to take care of him until his owner comes to claim him(if he has one). But this time, when they meet, my cat won't stop hissing and moaning. He looked scared and angry at the same time. Even when i want to pat him he makes the angry type of meow. This is really bothering me as this new cat could be staying with us for a while and i don't want my cat to be like that. Can someone tell me what is most likely going on ? Will he be able to be comfortable with him like the stray cat ? If so, is there any way to help with that ?

  • Answer:

    It's hard for cats to "get a new friend". He just seems upset that the other cat is there. Cats are very territorial and don't like to share. With my cats we used to get a washcloth with pet perfume on it and rub them with it before introducing them to eachother. It seems to them if they smell similar then their cool with eachother. It usually doesn't work if they already know eachother. But they usually get over it in time
