Does it happen often? One of the reasons can be some health issues. Conditions like hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or parasites can increase a cat's appetite. I don't say this is the reason but it might be worth checking with a vet.

sorry Lesley I'm not sure at the time between jabs ... the vet will be able to advise.

If Bertie is an outside boy he may only like soft litter or ultrafine granules.

Hope it's all going OK.

Time and love and maybe giving Ruby some time out in a room for a couple of hours so that Rosie thinks she has her domain back, Feliway diffuser can help as well.  If she weighs enough to get spayed then that can help as well.  She is gorgeous :Luv2:

That's the thing tho Liz, Rosie is barely getting to see her, as soon as she does she starts hissing and gurring  >:( that is when we take Ruby out of the equation, Ruby comes across as inquisitive and wants to get closer, Ruby spends 95% of her time in the living room atm, at night she is put in with the bairn (litter tray n food too) so that leaves the rest of the house for Rosie, but as far as I can see, she is sleeping in the kitchen either on the table or the chair (I've set up a trail cam) We did have a Feliway diffuser years ago, think I gave it to the cat protection, anyway, Rosie doesn't seem to be spending enough time inside for it to take effect  :shocked: I've currently got a GPS tracker fitted to her, she is currently in the Garden  :doh:

Hi Peeps, its been a while    8)

As some of you may remember, we took on Rosie just over a year ago ( after her owners took her to the vet to be PTS because she meowed at night  :-: >:( )
 
Rosie settled in very quickly and just goes about doing her thing, just over two months ago, I started getting my head nipped about taking in a kitten... the mum of the kitten stayed at a stable out the road and fell pregnant, an old neighbour of mine took her to their house so to have the kittens, get the mum dressed and return her to the stable, she had four kits.

Yes, I buckled to the pressure, we now also Have Ruby, she's 13 weeks old now, Years ago I introduced Two boys together with no drama, and introductions with the Girls have been taken very slowly
Unfortunately, that's almost a month in and Rosie, the older cat is just not accepting the situation of sharing, I know it's still early days etc, but I don't like seeing Rosie upset like this, I did speak to Sam, n she says possibly getting Ruby neutered would help, that is in the pipeline but the vet said to get the vaccines out of the way first.

any pointers or advice, please? The older cat still has her own space and comes and goes freely (tho she is spending more time outside, more than normal) both have their own toilet areas, and feeding stations, Ruby kitten is usually in the living room, a room that Rosie very rarely enters...

Thank you Sam, your reply is very helpful. I'm relieved that Bertie was not marking his territory. Ironically, he was right outside the room where the litter box is located but admittedly I have not yet 'catered' to him by putting another box in there largely because I'm not really sure how to go about teaching him what's what and, he has been 100% outside for his whole life.   He had just come inside so I was surprised that he needed to pee! I don't even know if he has ever gone in to the room.  At the moment, he's being kept as an outdoor cat with the hope of eventually giving him the option of coming indoors. My main concern is how my other cat Ben would react to him being indoors. Bertie is really trying to be friends with Ben which drives Ben crazy  :Crazy:.
I've had cats before but they all just seemed to know what to do so maybe I'm the one who needs education.

Another issue is that I managed to get him vaccinated about a month ago but he needs a booster. Because he's quite 'spicy' I have not been able to safely get him into the carry box again. Is there a time limit between the first jab and the booster, it's already been a month. :'(

I will get another litter box and show Bertie where it is . Thanks again for your help.
