Thanks, tabbytom. While I know that Brax knows Drexl, they were competing for resources when they were outside. As Brax is FIV+ and sweet Drexl is not, it's all the more important that I don't introduce them until I can trust Brax. Additionally, we have a dog, which I'm sure will be easier to introduce Brax to if he can ever get used to us people first.
P.S. the dog is the only reason Drexl doesn't have full reign just yet. They greet each other every day but he's still a little shy with her. Hopefully by Monday he will be ready.
Yes, even though they knew each other while they were outside before, cats have different characters and probably one is more dominant than the other.lso, Brax isn't comfortable enough to play with me yet.
Basically, what you have here are two different cats and what you have to do here is to go slow. Just don't rush through, just as what Meowmee mentioned, 'baby steps'. So just work on Brax patiently and let him gain confidence in you.
