It sounds a bit mean but think about who you introduce her to for a bit too. No doubt you want everyone to meet your new family member but to avoid experiences that might scare her and put her off people try to stick to people who are quieter and more sensitive to reading cat behaviour...

It is so tough, and worrying, when this happens. It can take time to figure out what's bothering her so along with additional litter trays you might want to think about protecting furniture and other places she seems to be attracted to. Clean thoroughly with the urine off stuff as you are but...

Not great photos as late evening play time but this is Millie pestering Mouse. :disappointed: :lol:. He let's her throw herself about and beat him up for a few minutes then just walks off leaving her knowing full well that he's the boss no matter how hard she tries. :flail:

Getting a crate and encouraging him to see as a safe place is a great idea. As you note he was recently constipated I think a second litter tray might be even more important. If cats have had a difficult or painful experience in a litter tray they can associate this long term and not want to go...

I think that all sounds really positive. They are working out their relationships and respecting each other. Long may it continue. I brought Millie in here about 16 months ago and while they have got on really well they have never snuggled up together or groomed eachother. I was made up a...

😂. I know, I am cruel. 😈. Actually his proper name is Little Mouser but I call him Mouse. Sometimes I do call him my Little Mouser though, so he can feel proud. I suspect Mouse has identity issues anyway as he doesn't seem to realise cats and humans are any different and when he was a kitten...

Mouse is having a quiet day on the sofa today. Millie's up in her tree and not pestering us for a change. 😂🙄. Can't resist mussing up his fur. I swear it gets more plush as he gets older. 😻

It is very tough when the have sensitive digestive systems. So far I've been lucky with Mouse and Millie which is just as well given difficultues in food supply chains recently. One of my previous tabby girls was very restricted though and spent many years on medication to try and control...

Just read right through and so relieved for you that Fancy and Delilah are settling, at least other than with food. Hope you are recovering from Covid @ladytimedramon . I introduced a 3 year old mini Millie to Mouse's 10 Year old world about 16 months ago. Millie is a tiny little cat, not...

Hmmm, good luck! Hope you managed another bath free night. 👍 I don't know what your daily grooming routine is like but if you don't have a full on grooming session with Sassy shortly before bed time it's worth considering altering your timing. I'm sure she likes to have numerous beauty...

Good thinking. A four year old so over weight may well have been in a restricted home and little opportunity to develop her cat hunting/play skills. A larger home and a new and unfamiliar experience of sharing it with another cat must seem very scary to her even if her previous home was a very...

I agree @milliesmom , it sounds like something about her tail is different. Having a vet see her would be best to check her out. If nothing found you can chat with them about what else might cause this behaviour.

😂. Love it, mouse trying to get back in!!! The first time I saw Mouse meeting a live mouse was in my hallway and when he caught up with the little critter all he did was pat it's back like it was a long lost buddy. 🤣. The critter then disappeared under my washing machine not to be seen...

So much depends on the personalities of the cats in my experience, and how much space (horizontal, verticle, and ability for each cat to feel safe) you can make available for them. Should consider what's needed for safe introduction period, general life together, and as tthe cats age and...

@Raspberrufluff I've just been reading through your thread and it is great to hear how you are doing. You are doing great, sticking with your guys at their own pace and I feel confident they are settling in well together. They may or may not end up as snuggle buddies but unless some...
