Hi - thanks for the ongoing advice here about cat introductions. Greatly appreciated!
We are slowly introducing a one-year-old outdoor cat to our home environment. Although feral, 'Bob' is generally friendly and good-natured, if a little lively! The existing cat - Fleaso - a five-year-old, is blind and nervous. We separate the cats with a mosquito net (see picture below). They come close, out of curiosity; there have been a couple of hisses when too close.
So what next? Nothing seems to progress from this stand-off, but we are worried that, when they do mix, Bob will completely overwhelm Fleaso. Maybe this is an inevitable part of the socialisation, but do you have any advice on the next steps to make the process go smoothly?
Thanks
James
