Nest weekend my new kitty will be arriving. She's a 3 1/2 year old retired chocolate point Siamese named Evie. She's supposed to be very loving and affectionate with humans, but she apparently doesn't accept cats of another breed, other than Siamese very well. The breeder I'm getting her from breeds both Siamese and Abyssinians, and she said that Evie doesn't get along with her Aby Queens, though she has no problem with the Siamese Queens. Evie has been spayed, so the breeder thinks that Evie just doesn't like non Siamese cats.
The reason she is letting me have her, is that she let Evie hang out with the neutered male Aby's and she didn't have a problem with them, and since both of my boys are neutered she feels that maybe things will work out ok with an adjustment period. So do I, or at least I'm hopeful.
The problem is, Simba is a Bengal, and he's a HYPER-ACTIVE Bengal, and Shane though a Siamese, is a traditional Applehead Siamese, which means maybe Evie won't recognise him as a Siamese. I want this transition to go over as smoothly as possible for all cats, because I will only have 2 full days to watch over them, before I have to go to work and leave them all alone in my apartment for 8 hours or so.
I've heard about Feliway, and I want to get some. Can you get it at Petco? Also, what else can I get? I've read here about putting Vanilla on their tails, right? I am going to try to seperate them for a few days, unless she howls being locked up, or unless Simba has a complete fit, since he CAN'T STAND IT WHEN A DOOR IS CLOSED TO HIM, if you know what I mean. Could I get some help on what I need to get to prepare for Evie's arrival. I want so much for it to work
