hi everyone. i recently moved into a studio with two cats that dont know eachother. in the process of introducing them to each other, im trying to keep them separated so they dont fight.
ive been keeping my one guy in the kitchen (which is 6x8 with a large 6x6 closet at the end) and the girl in the main living space (12x14). i let my male cat into the main living space during the day with supervision, but they cant be left alone because they fight if one startles the other
its been 5 days of separation and my male cat is going a little stir crazy in the kitchen and escapes into the main living space because he wants to explore (ive only been using boxes from the move to keep him separated). i do my best to keep him entertained and exercised but i still feel bad having to confine him there. its for his own safety, though, especially when i have to go to work for a couple hours in the evenings throughout the week.
i don't know what to do to keep him separated from my other cat. i cannot let him out and put the other cat in the kitchen because she is terribly destructive and might injure herself. even for a few hours, i feel like the bathroom is way too small (it's a 5x6 space with a small hallway), same with the closet which is a bit bigger. i'm a college student so i dont have a lot of money to spend on something like a big fancy partition, but i need someone wide to block off the kitchen (about 6ft wide and 4 feet tall) to keep him safe until my cats get used to eachother. i would really appreciate some recommendations. thank you!
