My former cat, Ada, was very human-compatible. She didn’t do feline masking shit. She said what she meant, for better or worse, so she was always understood.
Since she’s dead in a box in my tv stand, her demands are simpler to parse now.
But manny is a himbo cat that sees everything as the beginning of saving private ryan. He’s from the same hood. He’s seen the same shit. And it hit him totally different. He might be broken.
And I’ll soon be inheriting my sisters cat, who I have nicknamed Goose after if tried to blind me because it’s stressed the fuck out by her kids and keeps attacking them and dads about to turn her into a purse and GODDAMNIT WHY AM I BRINGING A PSYCHICALLY UNSTABLE CAT INTO THE HOME WITH IM-GODS-VICTIM CAT HAVE I LOST MY MIND?!
Cats are social animals and I believe they live more complete lives when another cat is in the home. Even if they dislike each other, I believe the life of each will be enriched by the other’s presence. Have you ever introduced cats before? It’s best to give each their own territory to start with, allow them to get to know each other, under a door if possible, before slowly allowing more interaction.
Because you realize that poor stressed-out cat needs a home where someone understands the importance of regular meals even if she’s a little slow sometimes, and is also willing to accept the rejection of pets. Goose and Manny may get along, and/or Goose may give Manny a legitimate reason for his drama. But they’ll work out their boundaries and you’re doing the right thing.
