Cat Fight or Flight?


Recently I helped place this cat in a home.  His name is now Diego and he’s about 8 months old.  He was found in a yard by a neighbor after the owners moved away. He went to one of my co-workers who just moved into a new house. They have a female cat who is about 2 years old. The problem is every time they are introduced there is a raging cat fight – fur flying, chasing, hissing… very aggressive.  He is a sweet and loving cat when he is by himself, but when he is with the other cat he attacks and chases her. It’s to the point that they want to give him to her father, but he has a cat as well.  I’m worried about what if this happens again.

Can you help with what could be causing him to be so aggressive?

I have to be brutally honest with you. You are not going to be able to change this reality. Diego comes from abuse, and the cats whose homes he is coming into are going to smell that fear and not welcome peaceful energy. It's a fight from the start. Diego needs to be in a family that has no other pet in it. In that way, he does not have to share the limelight with any other animal. This is the best way to help him be happy and shine!

I wish you luck in placing him in a new singular environment.
