    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Yep! She has a cat tree! I also bought an extra bookshelf for her to climb on, as well as the tables, a record player and even the fridge -- which she loves lying on. It might be a territory issue too, although maybe I'm imagining it. But at first the playful cat, Zuko, would just chill on the...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    I'll try to take a video when it happens again! But I guess maybe Zuko wants to play, while Luci interprets it as an attack. She's constantly hissing at him, and he's never once hissed at her back? Sometimes she'd run up to her cat tower, and he'd try to follow her, but she'd swat him away...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Update! So it's been a month since my last post I can now leave them be when I go to work. They still hate each other though. Zuko would always chase Luci, and Luci would hiss and growl and swat at her. And the fighting seems to have escalated a bit, with Luci's ear's going down and back in...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Thanks! Worrying is part of my DNA. I'll keep you guys updated for sure! Its all the chasing and growling/hissing that's got me concerned I have to cage one up just so the other can use the litterbox, because the moment the two cats are on the same floor, the chase is always on between the two...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Got this guys! Still no happy contact, and there was an incident by the litterbox where Zuko interrupted Luci as she went by her business I'll keep you guys updated and hopefully within a few weeks he stops chasing after her. I'll let you guys know what happens?

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Got this guys! Just kind of worried because Luci is stuck on top of her cat tree or the fridge the entire time Zuko is out Sometimes she'd go to a lower level, but the moment she hits the floor or tries to go to her hiding spot behind the TV or anywhere at all, Zuko would chase her It seems...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    I think there was some progress? After feeding them both (although Zuko didn't have much of an appetite) i let Zuko out since Luci was on top of hee cat tree so she's in her safe zone As i was playing with zuko, luci actually came down! Either curious or jealous of the fun I distracted zuko as...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Oh and to your first question, an afternoon! Few hours. Made sure to feed em both and they're done with their litterbox business Left at the time when they're both usually sleeping so at least the first few hours of their day alone was spent resting.

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Hissing and chasing and swatting. When Luci starts hissing and gets her claws out, i tend to try and get Zuko to come my way already because i'm scared one'll get hurt? Or am i coddling too much? Haha pretty sure Luci just wants to be left alone while i'm not sure if Zuko wants to play/assert...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Thanks for this! I do let zuko have a run of the apartment so long as i'm around and Luci's eaten and she's either on top of the fridge. If luci's under the bed, zuko tries to go to her I'm scared one of them will get hurt. Today i left Zuko in the cage so that hopefully they can work...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Not a lot. Before I got her, I was told she got along well enough with other cats. Not overtly friendly, she just didn't care much. I was even a shown a picture of her chilling with 2 other cats. It was made to seem to me like she was close to this one cat named July And after getting her and a...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    So its gone from my resident cat being scared and running away from Zuko whenever she'd come close to her under the bed, to her fighting back. There was hissing and some initial swatting, and that's not counting the new little boy going under the bed then running away from underneath, but going...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    I have a soft mesh carrier and a cat backpack! But it feels kinda cramped so I ordered a two layer cat cage. Something I can put a litterbox in and he'd still have space to move. Or if he's already used his litterbox, something he can chill in and they can "meet" while Luci feels safe enough to...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Yeah, i am a bit of worrier haha I just really want it to go well with 'em. And you're right, she eats so long as the other cat is in the bathroom. haha But it takes a bit for her to appear.

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Yeah, he'll definitely be a bathroom cat for awhile. The logistics of showering and doing everything else is a bit complicated, but i'll make it work somehow. And will only let him out when I'm around, for sure. Hopefully after tiring him out a bit. I know my other cat is curious about him, but...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Well, no hissing, but chasing? Didn't seem like stalking chasing though. Two encounters today. First, Luci (the scaredy resident one) saw Zuko after her nap and slowly approached him. When he moved a little, she ran away back to her hiding spot behind the TV. Zuko followed soon after, and so...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Hey guys! Tried feeding Luci again on the other side of the door from Zuko, but she caught a glimpse of him and now refuses to eat. She'll eat wet food, but that's it. She's ignoring all her usual kibbles and is all very skittish. At least she's eating something. I guess I can ramp up the wet...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Thanks for this! Luci wouldn't eat with the other cat around unless it was wet food, and I had to feed her on top of her tower. The other one didn't really care. There was some staring here and there, but otherwise it was... uneventful? She'd nap on her tower, he'd nap either under the bed or...

    Screwed Up Cat Intro? Help! They Met after a day!

    Hi, so I think I may have screwed up my cats introductions :( Stay with me here, because this may be a long post. I live in a studio apartment -- just one room and a bathroom. It's not cramped, and isn't a bad living space, but I know for cats you need to keep em separated at first, yeah...

    Shy And Untrusting Cat: Help Please!

    Thanks so much guys! I'm feeling waaaaay better about this! It's just good to know me and my little girl are at least going somewhere. I just want to give her the life she deserves, y'know? My last question would be, I guess, since I have a 2nd cat coming soon (one that just kinda fell into my...
