Hi, I'm in the middle of this, too. The main thing to remember is it's a process and some days might be better than others. Hissing, swatting and growling are all normal. How is the body language during this? Is it just a 'hey, keep away' or is it 'i want to get at you'. Also, how long does it...

We tried another playing session again and Misty seemed fine with Luna on the bed. Then she went under the bed and watched her play from there for a bit. As soon as Luna left, she came out fine. Then on her way downstairs, Luna was right at the gate and she hissed at her twice and then swatted...

Thanks so much. I totally relate to the biggest issue being the human's anxiety. Now that the cats are ok with each other being like a metre away, we're going to try getting them more comfortable with each other closer up. This is challenging as Luna is a bit weary of coming near Misty...

Hi, The cats went back to normal straight away. Both are eating and playing well. Site and scent swapping going well. We switched things up at the gate, which has really helped. Instead of being inside with Luna, I stay outside with Misty which helps me control the situation better. She still...

Hello everyone Just thought I'd pop on to give you an update on how we're doing. We've been showing them to each other twice a day for a while ago, either through the stacked gates or through a slightly opened door. We've now been leaving the door open with a towel over the gates, apart from...

Hello everyone, Hope you all had a good festive season, if you celebrate. Just thought I'd give you an update. Thanks to your advice, I've been leaving a bit of high quality dry food / some treats outside Luna"s door a few times a day for Misty. When I do scent swapping. I also put a couple of...

We are trying to feed on the opposite sides of the door but as the the new cat (Luna) is upstairs and Misty normally gets fed downstairs I'm finding it hard to lead her to the food. When and if she gets there she seems to eat half no bother and then go away and not come back. Whereas if she's...

Thank you so much for your reply, you've really taken a weight off my mind. Have started being comforting and assuring whenever existing cat hisses. What are the signs to look for that we can move on to giving them sight of each other?

We brought our new, 2 yr old cat home last week. She’s a female. Our existing cat is about 7ish and also a female. Both cats are quite confident and friendly in nature. We had read all the advice re keeping them separate, but on the second day the new cat slipped by us, found our existing cat...
