Because Tigger doesn't get along with Angel. So we are looking for a home for miss cranky pants.

Ah, looks cute but I can't. I'd take the cat but with a toddler, dog (I'm not sure he'll get along with kitty) and a baby on the way, there's no room.
Good luck on finding Tigger a place to live.
No its not Tigger thats the problem. Its Angel. The one pictured above. Tigger doesn't like Angel and Angel sheds like no other and meows and jumps on things. Tigger is mostly calm unless Angel is around. Tiger was sleeping on top of one of our cars until I brough Angel over to see if they got along. And Tigger was hissing and yelling at Angel through while she was still in car. I like Angel but she's high mateniance and sheds.
Angel... (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/2.gif)
Oh, sorry to get that mixed up. I guess it's a case of cat jealousy. Some cats are just plain territorial. Try your local SPCA, they might be able to help you there.
Why not leave notices at your local vets, as well as supermarkets and laundromats? Particularly in laundries, as people are sitting there bored out of their skulls, and usually read everything in sight. Library bulletin boards are another good place.
Do NOT take the cat to the SPCA, they will kill it. Surely you can try to get the cats to get along? Why did you even get another cat in the first place? I hate when people get animals and then discard them at the first sign of trouble. Poor kitty. :'(
It was a cat down on the farm. It was almost killed by a bunch of my cousins boxers. If we hadn't have taken Tigger home he would have died. He had a gaping open wound in his stomach. Took months to recover.
No wonder he is cranky. I hope you find a home for the poor thing.
No the cranky one is Angel. She's always meowing, its annoying. Tigger's really quiet but he's territorial.
My cats are brothers, and they dont always get along, fight and stuff...its no big deal.
Yeah but tigger started growling and hissing. Scared Angel into the corner and he constantly went GRRRRRRH for like a half an hour.
How long have you had the new cat in the house? It might just take time...animals need to get used to each other. Are they both males? Neutered or not?
The problem is that you brought Angel into another cat's territory, and cats are extremely defensive about what they consider their "own" place.
Yeah I know that's what the problem was. Both are Neutered. Angel is a girl about 12 or 13 years old can't remember and Tigger is a male he just turned 1.
Why not let them work it out between them? One will prove to be the dominant cat, and the other will adjust to being cat Number 2. There will be some fur flying for a few days, but things will settle down.
Oh and Angel has no claws. Both sets were taken out. Tigger has both.
When Tigger was a kitten he came over to the old house and Angel hissed and hit him on the head. I don't think Tigger forgot that. Tigger looked pyscho. Angel ran through the electric fence and hid on the other side of the house. Thats another thing. Angel will teach Tigger how to jump on things. Tigger is so good he doesn't need the shock collar anymore he just knows where to go and not to go. Ozzie on the other hand he's an idiot he needs the collar.
What a horrible thing to do to a cat. It's the same as having all your nails pulled out of your fingers and toes. Can you imagine how hard it would be to do things with no nails? For a cat it is even worse since they need their nails to catch things or defend themselves.
She couldn't control her back nails anymore. She tore a chair up just by sitting on it. Wasn't able to retact them. Anyway the previous owners of Angel took her front out.
That's another problem if we give her away thats her third family.
While I believe de-clawing a cat is not the nicest thing to do, in some cases it might be better for the cats. It will all depend on the circumstances.
At any rate, I don't think you can work with one cat if the other one's territorial. It's just not in their nature to get along with another rival. It's probably better to separate the felines if they don't get along with one another.
SD, I do believe you should have brought Tigger with you when you were thinking of getting Angel. Should have observed them both when they're put in the same room.
At any rate, I believe the SPCA will try their best to find a home for the cat. If you're hesistant about this, they can put information out there for Angel as she waits for a place to stay with you.
Please do not contact the SPCA, they only kill animals. I am sorry to say it, but its true. Any time i have called them about a stray i have taken in, they warn me not to bring it there. Seriously, try to make it work with the 2 kitties, or find one of them a new family...but do NOT take him to the SPCA.
