Still at Loggerheads!

A few days on...

Gosh! I trying to get 2 cats to knew that trying to get 2 cats to like each other was so hard.

JC has been trying so hard to get to know Nig, but she just hissed and spat and arched her back with a tail like a loo brush.

JC has always jumped on the outside window ledge to let us know he wants to come in and every time Nig saw him, she'd fly to the window scratching and hissing that JC didn't jump up anymore. He was scared.

They'd had been kept separate for a few days and it seemed like Nig was the dominant cat, and I began to think we'd been doing this all wrong and jC was suffering and felt something had to change...

A wire door was built at the bottom of the stairs so that Nig had the upstairs and JC could freely roam around downstairs and a curtain was place with only a small gap so the cats could see each other. 

I thought this going well until JC starting slunking past the curtain - the little Princess Nigella was constantly growling at him! 

Poor JC, a soft and placid cat, was getting more and more depressed and scared.  So much love and affection was showered on him in the hope that he would still know he is the top cat, but to no avail.

After a week another change of tactics...
