Okay, had a major back step today and feeling really despondent now :( Last few days I had been playing with each cat and getting their energy out. I was with RC one evening on one side of the house and NC was in the other side of the glass door. We cracked the door a little and I played with...

@Alldara thought you might be with the name Calcifer! I'll check out your videos - I feel like I already know so much about your cats as I've read so many threads here haha! I am going to try and get a wooden door with square mesh holes as that might be more sturdy. I guess I've been reading...

Oops I tried to link you @Alldara and it linked @Mamanyt1953 instead!

Omg you are the @Alldara! I was reading about Nobel and Calcifer in some of the other threads and didn't make the link! Also, are you a Studio Ghibli fan? Anyway back to business - RC tends to bat at any toy for a bit before running away from the toy. He's a bit of a wuss and always has been...

Hey Alldara! Thank you so much for your reply and yes you are right... I have to be mindful but my perception is definitely changing a bit. I just hate seeing my boy being bullied or that he's now withdrawn :( there is a lot of guilt and I guess confusion on NC's behaviour too? So I have...

Hey all - sorry for the late reply. I was a bit stressed, and previously wrote out a long message that just disappeared too! So something happened a few days, maybe a week ago and its spooked me out and I don't know how avoid this situation again - but its definitely made me question if / how...

Thanks both! I've stopped doing the cracked doors and have just kept up with the glass doors so they can fully see each other. They have mostly been fine except when they first get into view of one another - they kind of stare at each other and if NC gets too close to the door, RC will sometimes...

Thank you so much @Mamanyt1953 - I've read about other cats during intros so I am probably over thinking and over worrying - always find it reassuring to hear from you! RC has done so well. Its only been 4 weeks since NC has been around (I'm not counting the three days she was with us when she...

Hey everyone, I'm back and thought I'd have a positive update but I think we may have gone back a step this evening :( I've been keeping up the visuals for the last few days, changing it around so that Naayu (NC) is inside the room while Nizu (grey, RC) is outside the room. He still hisses...

Thank you so much! I really wasn't sure if she's being aggressive as the meows sound a bit mournful! I'll let them carry on but try and feed them treats etc so they get some positive association with each other too. They've both been too focused on each other for the treats to work and my RC...

Okay I have an update and new videos - would be great is someone could read their body language - are they scared? Curious? Tense? I'm also not sure if NC is yowling or deep meowing. It sounds like meows? RC was chilling in the living room - that's where the humans usually are during the day...

So I think NC smell is all over RC spaces anyway as when he goes for his deep sleep in the mid-afternoon to the evening, that's when NC is free roaming the entire house and rubbing against corners, carpets, etc. They've even used the same litter box and she's played and bit a catnip toy that RC...

Thank you so much Alldara - so you think I should keep up with the visual, even if they hiss and growl, and just try and get them used to it while I try and shift their focus? I think I agree on maybe skipping the meal step that Jackson suggests. They are both a bit prone to under eating...

Thank you so much! I guess I'm not sure what the next step is. Should I continue to have short visual visits with the glass door, even if they hiss and growl at each other? I've tried to distract them but they don't budge from each other, so I'm worried it will do more harm than good. I've...

Here is a link to the videos of jet growling / yowling / meowing???

So right after we took Naayu back after not finding her chipped at the vets, she was in a fully covered carrier bag while we sorted out the spare room for her. Nizu walked by, hissed at the bag and ran away. We had to set up the room with Nizu's spare litter box, his feeding bowl and some of his...

Hello everyone, I've been obsessively reading posts going back years on introducing cats, and have read the many guides on the ultimate introductions, introducing cats to cats, kittens to cats, dealing with unsuccessful introductions, non-recognition & redirected aggression. I've also read up...
