I guess just to remind myself that it's not all bad, here's a video of Pi and Margot enjoying a treat while Oliver had his lunch just on the other side of the fence. https://youtube.com/shorts/I3a7K44sp7g?si=zThjmuZaY9jdtuGk Of course, shortly after the treat was gone Margot did start...

Well, Margot has gotten more and more mad over this last week or so. She will hiss, growl, and yowl even if Oliver is not near her or looking at her, doing his own thing. Oliver more or less leaves her alone, other than trying to get close to her and run off occasionally. He seems to...

Yes, Margot is very clear with her boundaries! I always tell her it's ok when she starts talking, and if she gets too agitated I physically remove Oliver. Pi is getting better at it too. Even when he tried to chase her, she's not as bothered now, and while she will run and hiss, she will also...

I feel like things with Pi are continuing to improve. Today they were able to spend a lot of time in the living room together, Pi on the couch and Oliver playing on the floor. He did jump up on the side table and try to swat her once but this time she hissed and swatted back, and he backed off...

Things are going pretty well the last couple days. We've been keeping a close eye on baby and whenever he looks like he wants to chase, either distracting him with a favorite toy, or picking him up and putting him in a different area. Still have had a couple moments but I think there's...

Thanks y'all! We will be breaking up and redirecting any chase. I think also could try going back to this cat seeing the kitten from behind the baby gate, so she can look at/smell him but not have to worry about him getting too close. :) We haven't had a kitten in the house in over 9 years...

Thanks for the response! We will start interrupting the chase and stopping it before it starts. Luckily he is pretty easy to distract with a toy! Do you think it's possible she will never assert herself and give him a firm boundary?

Hi all, we are about 3 and a half weeks into introducing a kitten (3 months) to our 2 cat (9 and 10 year) home. Everything seems to be going pretty well, we have followed the Jackson Galaxy method and are at the point where kitten is out in the house with the others as long as myself or my...

I haven't posted here in years but had to reset my passoword so I could comment. 1, THANK YOU for documenting this process as you are going through it. I am at the start of it right now as we have just added a kitten to our two cat home, and I had forgotten how stressful it is at the start...

So, about a week ago I took Margot to the vet for kitten shots and testing for feline leukemia, etc, and also to get a treatment for her fleas as well as something I could give Pi as a preventative (since they are together all the time now).  During the appointment the vet gave Margot a Capstar...

Hello once again, I would really appreciate some replies if anyone takes the time to read this. :) Pi and Margot seem to be getting along better every day!  Today they spent time together in the house and even played together!  Some time with the toys but a few times they chased each other...

Ok, thanks for the suggestions!  I'm taking her to the vet this week so I'll get their opinion too.  :) Things are progressing quite well I think.  I had both of them playing on the bed today with the ends of the same ribbon.  Pi only hissed three times, and only ran off after the third time...

So, thought I should do an update. Things seem to be getting better already!  Pi is still very wary of Margot, and hisses sometimes hisses at her through the door.  I did the feeding on either side of the door, even bought some really special wet food for Pi to entice her, and it seemed to...

Thanks for the replies!  Shelter had actually adopted out all their cats that day, so that was awesome news!  :) However, I did end up getting a kitten from my boyfriend's mom.  It's a little manx, still don't have a name for her, but we just brought her home tonight.  Pi took one look and...

Hello all! I've been considering adding a second cat to my home for a while now.  This fall I am starting a full time graduate assistantship position at my university and I know I will be busy and not be able to spend as much time with Pi.  Even now in the summer I find myself away from the...

Sorry for never replying!!  Pi is only a little over a year and a half, and she is spayed.  I think it may be that she gets overstimulated.  I've taken to watching her tail and if she twitches it, I know to stop.  Of course it's not the perfect solution, but it is working and I haven't been...

My cat Pi is a really great cat, but she has one issue which makes her unpleasant to be around - she tries to bite anyone that pets her.  It's not constant, sometimes when she's really relaxed and cuddling, she'll let me pet her, but after a bit she'll usually try to bite.  It's not hard at...

Thanks for the warm welcome!  I'm looking forward to getting involved here.  :)

Hello all! I've been a visitor to this site a number of times before when I was looking for help with my cat, but I thought it was finally time to actually join this knowledgeable and helpful community. A little about me... I love music and spent my last three years as a band/choir/general...
