Sounds like Oreo loves you and is very possessive. She wants all of your attention. Her difficulties with Coco could be an extension of that, or Oreo might just plain not like Coco. I have delt with similar situations. Bottom line is that you love both your cats and both are entitled to your attention and affection. Oreo will just have to learn that. Keep in mind also that cats can be VERY slow to adjust to changes and such so just keep at it, be good to both of your cats and over time Oreo will probably mellow some.
You can try this trick: Put some wet cat food or tuna, etc. on both cats. The idea is to get them to lick each other off. Once they start mutual grooming like that it can lead to better relations between them.

She may be displaying mean behavior towards Coco, but it's because she's jealous. She wants you all to herself, and when you pet Coco, it makes her angry. She doesn't take it out on you, she takes it out on Coco. Just make sure you show equal amounts of love to each cat. Don't avoid Coco simply because Oreo's hissing about it....this will only reinforce the behavior.

Someone suggested giving your cat milk....don't. It gives them a upset stomach - contrary to popular belief. If Oreo was in the house first - it is probably a territory issue. if they are both the same sex - that could be it also. if they are not spayed or neutered that could be it also - it also will depend on the age of each cat. they will eventually learn to get along or just ignore each other. but please make sure they are spayed or neutered. it is best for their health especially if they are inside/outside kitties. and remember no milk - LOL

That's too bad. I am sorry the kitties are not getting along. Since they are both female I'm sorry to say that this can happen. Cat society is matriarchal and one female will usually be the "top cat".
I have two female cats like that and even after ten years they have never made "peace" with one another.

mmmm oreo's and cocoa
cats dont generally like each other unless they are from the same litter
most cats take a long time to warm up to each other
either that or your cat is just a lil biotch

u must show the cat dicipline but at the same time show it that u still love it and it will not be pushed aside like a rag doll or somthing animal can be jelous just like us and they are very protective over what they love.. meaning that u must punish it for being mean but after that show it love but do not play favoratism other wise ur other cat may become jelous u must teach ur cat dicipline. i dont mean it mean but there u go.

She isn't mean. She is just being a cat. Cats are usually solitary animals as adults, and they will hiss at other cats.

After 2 years my older female cat is finally starting to almost tolerate my younger female cat. Don't worry about it.
