Hi everybody!! I know it has been too long since I have updated you. The girls now spend the whole day and night out together, even when we are not home. Trudie walks up to Charmin every morning, bows her head to be sniffed, and takes Charmin’s “Good Morning” hiss in stride. They are not buddies...

We have gotten to the point where the cats are together except for overnight and when we are not at home. The longest they have been together at one time is 8 hours. They have come a long way. Charmin still hisses more than I’d like and swats from time to time. Trudie chases and swats once or...

Things have continued pretty much as they have been. On a positive, both cats are doing more walking around in front of each other. Charmin is definitely more tentative in her movement than Trudie is. Charmin did quite a bit of hissing last night and this morning when Trudie moved in her...

I trust your judgement. I know they have come a long way. I am just anxious for that moment when I feel they are both comfortable around each other. They are both good cats and deserve to feel safe and happy.

I don’t think that Charmin even noticed the hiss. You are right. It is because i haven’t seen a physical confrontation, i have made it huge in my mind. Charmin and the cat that we had to say goodbye to in December played rough and even fought on occasion. It did not cause the panic in me that...

Charmin was about 6 feet away while playing. It’s this nagging fear that Trudie might hurt Charmin that I can’t shake. I know it is my own issue more than anything that has actually happened.

My husband has been supervising the cats for about an hour a day while I disappear. He is more comfortable letting them explore around each other. We have seen both of them start to walk around each other without incident. Trudie is still very inquisitive about Charmin, and Charmin still hisses...

I trust your judgement and experience! It seems like no lasting damage was done after the squabble yesterday. The cats have resumed meals and snacks pretty close together with no hissing or alarming body language. Charmin sat up in her cat tree during the first get together. During the second...

"Charmin went in a corner ti groom which always worries me." - Why is this worrying? It’s the fact that she puts herself in locations that can lead to her being cornered rather than walking away. I am glad that she grooms and acts confident. It’s the location that worries me. They both slept...

We had our first “fight” this morning and are very upset. The cats ate breakfast pracefully and had a few snacks. Charmin hissed a littje when Trudie got to close and Trudie backed up. Trudie hissed when Charmin got too close and Charmin backed up. They continued to snack peacefully and both...

No, that wasn’t an “under” picture. Charmin tends to go under a table. This was her just watching Trudie today. Thanks so much for the encouragement. Stay safe!

“Is that because you have Charmin elsewhere or is Chrmin just choosing to be elsewhere?” We put Charmin in a bedroom to give Trudie time to explore. Ive attached a few photos from this morning and will try to upload video.

Trudie and Charmin continue to have peaceful meal/snack/play times of 30-40 minutes 3 times a day. Trudie has been in the living room alone more to get more comfortable in the house. She definitely wants out of her home base more. Yesterday we let them chill a little after eating. Charmin...

Thank you for the continued support and understanding of my fear. I admire the work you do with ferals. Rather than take a walk, I sat in the car and listened to some music while my husband fed them dinner. I needed a little break from the introductions. He let Trudie wander a little closer to...

It’s probably partly the stress from the virus on the news everywhere and being home so much, but I'm feeling a bit discouraged today. The cats have meal/snack/play sessions of about 30-35 minutes 2-3 times daily with no negativity. I still find myself going into panic mode when Trudie starts to...
