Cats sometimes protect each other

At least that is what Meetzee is doing . She seems to think it is her job to protect Max from clear and present danger .... poor Ally paid the price for her body guard attitude . Boy, I knew I was getting a couple old cats which was bad enough but now I have one that wants to defend the other for no reason other than my poor sweet Miss Ally walking by .... oh, by the way, I am not angry at her anymore, I have learned to understand and now I will cease trying to integrate them into my happy little furmily . So, can you see the warning look on Meetzee's face? I am a little afraid of her because I think she might attack me if she think's I am hurting Max. Do you think she would?

That cat has attitude and it shows in her eyes! I would not touch her yet, soon she will realise that you are friend not foe. I think she would bite.

sometimes critters jest don't get 'long, other times whom they choose to be their allies can be quite alarmin'. integratin' critters that've lived 'solo' fer some time tends to be worse. there's no tellin's if'n she'd do such'r not.

She and Max are bonded and I doubt either one would be happy without the other.

I don't know. It is one of the great mysteries of life why one cat likes another and hates most. I hope they all get to tolerate each other in the end.

Nah, she won't attack the hand that feeds her, will she? She'll know that you won't hurt Max,

Ohh, now I get it @KristenH so you suppose it is possible she might attack me, right? Well, I gotta agree with that. I've been really careful not to do anything to Max so she won't have a reason. They're both still in a little bit of shock, I took them out of mom's backyard and brought them here in June, now they are indoor cats which is probably hard for them to get used to.

I don't think either one looks happy. Poor Ally.

I think you're right, neither Max nor Meetzee are totally happy here but that can't be helped, it was either bring them here or let them fend for themselves in at mom's old house which is abandoned.

Thank you for that @Hannihar but I still wonder if it would have been kinder to put them under.

Sounds like she is an alpha cat and yup I do think she would attack you.

That's whats scary, alpha dogs don't attack their owners but to be fair I did not adopt her until she was elderly. I have her and Max in the room with the enclosed porch, at least they'll have good food and they'll be warm in the winter ..... wooda said cool in summer but I don't run the A/C.

Our cat fights with some of the cats that come around here. He ignores others, even when they steal all his food!
