Out of everything I've gone through the past nearly two years now with cats illness and emergencies, one of the harder things to do was trying to get everyone to get along. (And it's still a work in progress.) I have a very territorial male that is always making life interesting lol
Mia was one of the first to come into the house. She was a formal feral that came to live in the house around June of 2018. She was really sick, had a blockage, wasn't eating, was septic etc. It took a year to get her to come out of her safe room regularly. It's been slow. Very, very slow. I've been told due to a lot of circumstances, this has taken longer than normal on average for this but if you are suffering with cat introduction... don't give up. You are not alone. Many of us have been there banging our heads hard again that invisible brick wall.
but...
BEHOLD! PEACE!
This is what I've been waking up to almost every day for the last month. One friendship done - two to go!
From insane fights and attacks and having to separate and utter pure frustration. To peace.
Mia (left) and Charlie (right). Mia has been kicking Charlie out of his bed - and he's been okay with it. (Mia still has some weight to loss that she's gain so don't judge her finger ;-) we're working on it.)
So don't give up. Keep at it.
We still have some struggles, particularly with the other ones - but to see this now compared to the start. I really never thought it would happen.
This is what makes it all worth while in the end of that long hard road.
If these two can do it - yours can too!
