Hi all! This community helped me several years ago when I took in an abandoned kitten I found in my alley, named kitkat. He is now 4 years old, fat and sassy.
Well, I'm back with another cat, lol. This one was an outdoor cat we took in to prevent him from being surrendered to the humane society. I was nervous for his outcome there due to a weird neck tilt he has. We took him to our vet, he confirmed it's a congenital defect of some sort, but that he was overall healthy. His name is Yeti. He is around 2 years old. Very friendly and always trying to get inside but his owners used him and another cat as mousers.
I tried to do a slow intro with them but poor Yeti was crying up a storm and my cat seemed tense so we allowed them to meet. Other than 1 big hiss from kitkat and some low growls when yeti got too close, I feel like they are tolerating each other well. Both eating good, using litter boxes, etc. They've had a couple encounters where yeti "sneak attacked" kitkat and bopped him but no real fights.
Its been 4 days. Kitkat doesn't seem to love love yeti, but again, no aggressive moves. They've laid close to each other, once or twice.
It seems to be going really well, but I'd love to know any warning signs to look out for. I would hate either cat to feel stressed.
Pics because they are 2 cute cats. Kitkat is gray one and yeti is the one with white paws
