Older cat forgetting how to use catflap now that younger cat does
Has anyone had this issue, and if so how did you overcome it?
Context: My older cat has been using the catflap for about a year with no issues.
I recently taught my kitten to use it, but since then the older one has started getting confused about using it. She’ll paw at it and scratch at it, and when I try poking it open for her she either gets annoyed at me or just sits and looks out it but doesn’t go through.
Is it a scent thing? That it no longer just smells of her? And if so does anyone have advice on how to help her get over it?
They’re not the best of friends but have been integrated together now for about ten months so they know each others scents.
