    New (feral) cat introduction went well until it didn't

    It has been fur-ever since I have posted. In fact, I don't know where I left off. But I wanted to say that things are going really, really well. All three cats can exist together. They are not besties, but we chose them and they did not choose each other, so we are ok with that. We have had...

    New (feral) cat introduction went well until it didn't

    Hi. Thanks so much! We are doing pretty well. The boys have bonded, although things do get a little rough with my new boy who still believes in neck biting. He will actually go and snuggle up with our resident boy once in awhile. Brings tears to my eyes. Our girl is still not impressed...

    New (feral) cat introduction went well until it didn't

    Hello. Wanted to give a cat life update. We are on Day 3 of freedom. This is when things went south last time. So far, it has been going pretty well. We have had all three cats relaxed in the same room. Our resident girl does not enjoy the new guy's attention at all, but she is not running...

    I know I say this too often by my goodness are your cats GORGEOUS!!! I mean like really stunningly gorgeous!!! I can't get over it. You are so sweet to say that. Thank you. I remember when we got our little girl and someone said, "she is so ugly, she's cute!" I think cats are beautiful - all...

    Thank you for all your kind words and advice. We have been doing our get togethers in neutral territory, twice a day all in same room, some solo visits in new boy’s territory (not so great, but not devastating) and regular meal gatherings at his door plus mom and dad visits. I am working part...

    Bedtime Routine Resistance

    When we first got our cat, and we were new to the cat world, I went off to work and set the alarm so I could not have an animal wandering around during the day. I carried him up to his room and put treats down for him and then exited. After awhile, he would beat me to the door. He won his...

    Thanks again and again! I just put together a few videos that are still on my phone from when our new boy was out and among the other cats. I have a lot, and not just of him and my resident boy, but the resident girl moved out once trouble started. She had one of the scariest four room, two...

    Thank you! There was never an issue with them and their territory that I could see. They basically wanted to be able to look out at the window at the birds and sleep wherever they decided to sleep. The new guy, unless asleep, hiding or we kept him busy with playing and yes, even snacks...

    THANK YOU!!! Here is the video from last night. I made a YouTube channel for me and figured it out. My husband is working hard on our kitchen, so I can't keep bugging him. I will upload the other night, too. I put music on it so you don't hear our cat voices, lol. I hope this works...

    Thank you so very much for your reply. We did decide to try snack time in the other cat room this week. It is the room connected by the "pet door" between the closets. This room is mostly open for the resident cats, but we give our new guy a chance to explore it once in awhile. On that day...

    Sorry to bug you again. I was hoping you could give us a few next steps as we are in a bit of a rut. We have been having snack time in a circle in new boy's room for awhile now. At first, resident boy would wander in the room and explore. After the whacking incident, he now goes in, eats his...

    In May, it was definitely not playing. Not sure this time around. I need to record another video so y’all can help me decipher this cat’s intentions. I wish he could read my resident cats better and go slower, but I guess his colony was more in your face interactions.

    Two more days of normal, safe encounters. Now dad decides to slow down feeding of snack to new guy so he can notice the other cats in the room with him. Mom prompts dad to hurry up and give him more of his snack not knowing the new plan. New guy leaves empty plate and runs up to resident boy...
