Just finished an encouraging session this morning. My resident female cat (Oona) briefly locked eyes with the new female, but broke off the eye contact herself and walked away with no hissing. Baby steps!
Thank you for the response. I just started using a Feliway multicat diffuser yesterday that is about 10 ft from the door to the new cat’s basement. I appreciate the advice about going at the slowest cat’s pace. I think we will try that for a while and may reassess down the road.

This Sunday I adopted a new female cat ~1 year old. I have two resident cats, one male and one female both around ~3 years old. The resident cats are not littermates, but we adopted them on the same day when they were both about 3-4 months old. Our resident cats have never lived with...
For the last year, Dr Elsey's Clean Protein canned foods have been in heavy rotation with my two cats. Specifically the Turkey Pate and the Chicken Pate. It was never their favorite, but the both always ate it. Recently they have both started turning their nose up at it, requiring me to add a...

About half of the diet of my two 5-6 month olds is Dr Elsey’s wet. Like you, after lots of research I felt that it was some of the highest quality commercial wet food for the price (just can’t afford to feed Tiki cat everyday). I feed the chicken and turkey varieties. They also get about a Tbs...
Thank you all for your feedback! I am going with a combination of kitten-specific and all ages formulas. Are there any kitten-specific varieties you all particularly like? Looking for options that are high-protein, low-carb, no carrageenan, and little to no fruit or vegetable ingredients. Thanks!
