    Our ex stray cat is coming home with food

    Thanks for all the replies. That’s terrifying that someone could be planning to poison him! Does that happen a lot? Was worried about someone throwing something at him or similar but hadn’t thought of poisoning. He is from our neighbourhood so could also be possible that he has old friends...

    Our ex stray cat is coming home with food

    We recently (4.5 months ago) adopted a lovely cat ‘Banoffee’ who was a stray. He’s around 4 years old and had now been neutered and chipped. He’s settled in really well - he seems to love having a home and has gone from being nervous and jumpy to loving fuss and play. It was quite slow going...

    Help and reassurance with cat introductions

    Thank you. Lola comes out quite quickly after he's chased her, and whilst he is still around - she does seem a bit scared and and is definitely wary of him afterwards (i.e. she keeps her distance from him for a while and is quite alert, and sometimes she will run off to the bedroom whereas other...

    Help and reassurance with cat introductions

    Me again! Things are progressing I think, but it all seems very up and down.

    Help and reassurance with cat introductions

    Just wanted to say thanks all - they seem to be progressing nicely. Lola still a bit wary and gives him a good hiss every now and then but they are both chilling out in the living room right now - Lola seems to have even specifically chosen to be in the same room as Banoffee as she could easily...

    Help and reassurance with cat introductions

    Thanks so much all! I think I have got overly worried about it as my partner and I had never introduced adult cats to each other before and some of the resources I read seemed to suggest that any 'negative' (e.g. hissing) interactions during introductions was really bad and could set them up for...

    Help and reassurance with cat introductions

    Thanks very much both of you for your replies. That's really helpful and reassuring. The gates are up 24 7 but they aren't always able to see each other during that time (often one cat in inside and the other out, or in different rooms) and we have also not been allowing them to see each other...

    Help and reassurance with cat introductions

    Hi all. Am looking for a bit of help and reassurance with introducing two adult cats to each other. We adopted a stray male cat “Banoffee” who kept visiting us for food - he’s now neutered and chipped and doing really well with us. But introductions with our other cat Lola are rather up and...
