Anyone have experience introducing a new cat?

Anytime you bring in a new pet into your life, your oldest pet is going to be this way. Cats are very obsessive animals your oldest cat considers this his/her domain. This will take some time for your older cat to get used to that fact that he/she know has to share you and his/her home, but eventually they will get used to each other.

Well I have 4 cats now. But this was not always the case. I use to have two, and then I adopted another two. Cats are really funny creatures. The all have very different personalities. So some adapt better than others. They do love a routine and they get really comfortable. So they don't always take to change very well. But they will eventually learn to live with one another. It just takes time. Sometimes a bit more than you would expect. Make a real fuss of your older cat so she does not feel left out. She needs to know that she is really important. Eventually, they will get use to one another. Just be patient. There really is a lot else you can do.

I also adopted my fourth cat just over a year ago. I did already have 3 cats then. Two of them were absolutely fine about the new addition, but one of them was not. He has just come around to the fact that he is staying here for good. And although he tolerates him, he will never get on as well with him and the other two do.

Good Luck

The same thing happened with my older cat when I took in a cat last year. After a couple of weeks, my older cat got over it and started acting normal again. I still have both and they seem to get along ok now.

hey :) while my male cat became a 300 and sixty 5 days previous, i stumbled on a kitten outdoors, extra her in and when I presented them it wasn't as I imagined. He hated her. i became scared, under pressure, and that i've got been given related fairly rapid to the kitten. I refused to furnish her to the shelter so I did quite some study as you have and that i've got stumbled on that this labored ok, assuming that they are fairly no longer getting alongside. a million) make certain they might not attempt and harm one yet another, exceedingly the older one attempting to break the kitten, in the event that they are left on my own. This incorporates a brilliant variety of babysitting. If there are any symptoms of aggression, save them separated once you're no longer around. additionally, despite if this is been some days and there continues to be some stress, save them separated, till you sense comfy. 2) beginning off with separate muddle packing containers is nice, yet quickly, enable the older cat see that they are going to share one (assuming that they are going to). I positioned the main considerable muddle container that became my older cats in a distinctive area on the instant. 3) At each and every mealtime, pass their separate dishes closer and closer whilst staring at them to make certain they do no longer comprehend the replace and get offended. they're going to finally get use to eating so close, sharing a dish will in no way be a topic! :) The older cat will, in all probability interior days, will now no longer be afflicted via here kitty. i would not subject approximately it :) nicely, i'm no expert yet I was hoping that helped atleast a sprint.
