Hello all,
I am new to the site and need some advice. A friend needs a place for her 3 yr. old female kitty to stay while she is relocating. I agreed to take the kitty in until she is settled.
I currently have 2 female cats. They are 1 and 3 yrs old. They have been together for almost 2 years now.
The 3 yr. old Cleo is the queen of the house it is very clear that she is the dominant one. She was there 1st and lived without another cat in the house for a year and a half. When I intorduced Isis (the 1 yr old) It took her about a week to fully adjust. I must admit it went better than I thought. I had heard so many horro stories. Now Cleo and Isis are best of friends. Isis is quite skiddish and seems to be afraid of everything except for me and Cleo.
The new kitty Anna May has been moved around alot in the past few months. I agreed to keep her so she could have a stable home environment until her owner gets back on her feet. I don't want moving in with me and my kittys to be too tramatic for her.
My question is how do I go about introducing this new cat into my home? How do I make the transistion as smooth as possible for all involved?
Thanks In Advance.
