Hey guys any advice would be welcomed!
I have a six year old Siamese cat named Ketana, and my boyfriend and I have a pit bull mix dog together named Zeus. We moved into an apartment about a year ago and while we were moving Ketana was being taken care of by my brother until we could get settled in. Long story short Ketana and Zeus met maybe 6 months ago.
Zeus is very timid and tolerant of just about anything, he’s known as a Velcro dog. He has to be at your side at all times, he isn’t even the slightest bit aggressive. Ketana, she is strange for a cat, she is VERY clingy. She hates my boyfriend and the dog. So she literally is in my bubble at all times, whether it’s on my lap or just conveniently in the same 6 inch vicinity as I am. It’s flattering, but somewhat concerning because i had this idea that cats want space and they want to sleep all day. Not this girl!
Anyway, so like I said Zeus is this timid will not even make eye contact avoid walking in her space at all costs kind of guy. But Ketana will occasionally get a wild hair and sniff his paws or just some random part of him, and he will not even move. The guy is super unbothered by her, but if he makes any movement at all she whacks him in the face.
I’ve tried giving them their own safe spaces, and tried mixing their scents by petting one and then instantly petting the other. The cat even sleeps in his bed and goes after his food, he won’t even go near his bed if she’s in it! At the end of the day the cat just isn’t having it. It’s tough having two very needy pets, I don’t ever want to neglect one for the other! I’d love for us all to get along so everyone can be happy!
Help please!
