How hard is it to introduce your cat to another cat? I'm not home a lot during the week.
Been thinking of adopting one of the strays.
Jackson Galaxy has plenty of good advice about accustoming a new cat into a home with a resident cat.
Seconding Jackson Galaxy, he's awesome.
Kitten Lady is also lovely, but focusses more on kittens.
It really depends on the cats. Bringing one indoors at the same time as introductions adds a level. Get Feliway. At least a week of quarantine in a single room for the newbie.
Which one?????
Probs the the grey one. Mostly because she seems to like me enough to do a barell roll everytime I turn up lol
Barrell roll is a great start. I'd clocked them as a boy, but you've got much better eyes on that
I have 2 that dislike each other, but my house is far from a war zone because of it. We did all the introductions the way you're meant to, feliway friends and standard in nearly every room. But they just don't like each other and thats okay.
Not as hard as many people make out.
