Yes, we are. Right now, he is being kept next door until his vet appointment this coming Friday. We simply locked Bella in our bedroom and let him check out the house. He is very comfortable (and nosy :-) ). He was not at all hesitant or scared walking around the house checking everything out. Once he is clear at the vet, he will get his own space to start out.There is a time limit on how long you can edit a post, I believe it might be 2 hours.
Are you considering following any sort of introduction process with these cats? Usually, a new cat is confined to a room with their own food/water dishes, litter box, toys, etc. It lets them get used to a new environment first before going out to see the rest of the house and/or meet another cat. Once they seem comfortable in that room, which is considered their safe zone, the introductions can begin between the two cats.
You were given the guidelines earlier in this thread, I highly recommend you read them and formulate a plan accordingly.
And, as was said before, Enrique needs to be thoroughly checked out by a vat before you expose Bella to him.
So I called 2 vets this morning, (not my usual vet) and asked about what tests they do before introductions are made. I knew about feline leukemia and FIV. Both vet offices mentioned only these 2 tests. Does that sound right to you all? After all, it’s been a very long time since I’ve had to do tests like this with a cat.
