    Introducing Two Cats

    So she doesn't have a problem with the crate AT ALL, she goes in and out, even naps in there sometimes. In regards to the door, she mostly spends the time, when it's closed, super close to the door, crouched or laying there; when I open, her behaviour is more aggressive than playful, the one...

    Introducing Two Cats

    The therapist came super highly recommended, which is why I was considering but honestly you make some really good points, and I've tried keeping the doors of the base camp opened a little bit so they can smell one another but they still try to shove their little paws and hurt the other. The...

    Introducing Two Cats

    Hi guys, a little update on the two kitties ... they still hate each other, although one more than the other. I had a cat therapist come over and evaluate and she suggested putting one in a kennel and letting the other one smell her and kind of get to know her. She suggested that the most...

    "Patience is the name of the game here." ISNT THAT THE DAMN TRUTH ! Is just scary when you actually see them fighting, yesterday I was sweeping fur for like an hour.

    Introducing Two Cats

    Well, I bought two, one for each, and I keep them separate but swap where they hang half through the day so they can smell each other for a while

    Introducing Two Cats

    Oh I sure hope things get better, the Bach flowers are like a calming aid for nervous animals; but I've realized that for her they don't work, and I'm not even sure the sentry collar is working all that well. I will keep you posted on how it goes, obviously giving either away is NOT even a choice.

    Introducing Two Cats

    I've done the base camp swap, and unfortunately today the deaf one escaped while I was swapping them and my mom tried to pick her up and tore her arm to shreds which of course discouraged me A TON. I mean, I know is not that long and I have to give them time but it is sad when I see that the...

    Introducing Two Cats

    The laser works wonderful with the hearing one, is just the deaf one I'm having trouble engaging, she gets super tense and just last night she sliced my hand when I tried to distract her from the door.

    Introducing Two Cats

    I think so, she seems to like me petting her and she always rubs herself on me looking for pets. I hadn't thought of that, my only concern is that she seems a bit on edge when she smells the resident. And since she can't hear, she bases her responses on sight and smell

    Introducing Two Cats

    It hasn't been that long, and I've tried most of this, the only problem, like I said is that the new cat is so uninterested in playing or eating that it makes it hard to create the positive link between the resident cat and the activity, I'm so at a loss

    Introducing Two Cats

    hello, cat people!! I AM IN SERIOUS NEED OF HELP!! I have recently adopted a two-year-old deaf diluted tortie, and now I'm trying to introduce her to my resident cat, who is a barnyard tabby and is three years old. The first meeting didn't go well AT ALL, but recently I've noticed my resident...
