I'm going to laugh at the image of a cat in a playpen the rest of the day. :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's kind of you to ask, thank you! And rubys, I'm sorry I didn't acknowledge your post. I did see and appreciate it! This many weeks later, we've made some progress - not as much as we would have liked by now, but progress! The two boys, the new one and the son of the girl cat, are seeing each...

One of my favorite cats I ever had, bless her memory, was on the kill list at the shelter because she was deemed "too shy to adopt". When I brought her home, she promptly tore out the bottom of a chaise chair, crawled up into it, and spent most of the next week or so invisible to us. Food was...

Excellent ideas! Thanks. My guy and I are talking it over. We don't have that extra advantage of the stairway being right there, but the bricks could work. I also bought hemp treats yesterday in hopes of calming the mom down. Her son walked away from them (snob!), but she gobbled hers down...

They're weird little animals, aren't they? :lol: Thank you for all those thoughts. How do you prevent the cats from jumping over the baby gate? We've thought about getting one but couldn't figure that part out.

I'm so sorry to read all this, and I hope you're moving toward resolution! We had a stubborn pee-er, and Cat Attract made all the difference. But she wasn't dealing with the physical challenges, just emotional ones. We found it effective with another cat to not only use the odor removers, but...

Thank you both for your input - I'm so grateful. ArtNJ, that timeline makes all kinds of sense. We did have one room-swap with the mom, but it seems the redirected aggression was too well-established at that point to help much. We'll give it a few days for them to be apart, working up to trying...

Oh, one other thing: before we reached this point, the two boys were gradually getting used to each other, including playing underneath the door (some gentle hissing at the same time), and allowed to look at each other through the narrowly-opened door. If it weren't for his mom, the introduction...

Hi! First post here. I've had cats all my life, and never before had a failed introduction. That record is broken - we're in cat hell. We have two cats, a mom and her boy. He's five, she's six months older. They've always had a very loving relationship. Our third cat, a very elderly girl...
