I have an outdoor cat who ONLY lives outdoors and an indoor cat who lives ONLY indoors who I only got 3 days ago. They both are 4 year old males. The only contact they will ever have is between a sliding glass door. The outdoor cat is unsterilized (I’m going to take care of it within the next few months when I have time but at the moment my human needs are more important monetarily and time-wise ) whereas the indoor cat is sterilized.
First, because the new cat (Drew) is only inside and the outdoor cat (M2) lives only outdoors and only comes over every few days or every week to grab some food and clean himself off for a few minutes, would M2 be territorial? I mean, it really isn’t his territory anymore, right? He hasn’t been inside in years. Will he want to fight my new cat
Will M2 get intimidated or scared and not come back? Will he want to fight my new cat? He is a pretty vicious cat and will stand up for himself whereas Drew is a calm, peaceful, neutered indoor cat.
What about Drew, will he get scared and not want to approach the glass door anymore?
Here is the history of M2 if it’s needed:
He comes about every couple of days to grab some food for 4 years except for a period of 6-8 months in 2006 where we thought he died. For the next 6 months he enjoyed a good petting session but then he came less frequently starting in January and ever sicne then he hasn’t really taken much to petting AFTER he eats and would rather be alone and walks away if I approach him. What would happen if he sees we have another cat on his ground?
Here’s something cool. Drew actually was watching M2 eat yesterday morning but M2 didn’t see him. Drew was just watching and seeing what was up. Drew is from the Humane Society, so he is used to being around a lot of cats.
