3 new Kittens meet 2 resident Cats

[@freewaybaby]

I have a 5 year old cat who LOVES other cats. We brought home a 5 month old kitten yesterday and she is terrified, in the bathroom (the only room I have to separate her in) by herself, because everyone says to separate them for awhile. Well, she's been in there for 24 hours now, not eating, not drinking and not using the litter box. My older boy snuck in behind me when I was going to check on her and it's the first time she acted like she wanted to come out from behind the toilet. She's scared of me, too, but seems miserable in there by herself. She's a rescue that has been in foster for a couple of months after her spay and vetting! I called Bennett out of the bathroom because I don't want to "do it wrong", but it sure seems like he could be a comfort in her transition. Of course, your kittens weren't scared of humans too, so maybe their socialization to your resident cats went smoother. I want to open the door and let her have freedom of the house, but don't want her to get hurt in her fear of me or of the one other cat here, who isn't a "nurturer" as Bennett is, but would want to play with her, maybe before she's ready for him! Any input from cat people would be sooo appreciated! As many cats as I've had, the situation is different. Bennett was only a few weeks old when we brought him home and the ones already here (at the time), were twin brothers whose mother came up to our house 3 days before she had her kittens, so they were with us from day one...no socializing needed! Thanks in advance for ideas.

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

Hi there! Oh no, sounds like a very difficult situation you got there! I cant give you any good advice, maybe just by staying calm as good as you can, they can feel that there is no danger at all... but you already know that.. I am no cat behaviour expert at all, but what I can do is pin your comment to the top, so hopefully people can give as much advice or comfort or their own stories that can help...! GOOD LUCK!!!

[@freewaybaby]

@@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551 thanks so much. I really hope for a good “sibling” blend. , but you never know with rescues. The only Ragdoll I’ve ever had, showed up at my door, fully grown, intact, no microchip, no collar, but had a temperament much like yours. There is something to be said for breed standards....what you can expect, within margins, of course! With mixed breed rescues, it’s a mystery! Thanks for your reply!❣️

Denise D Yes. My heart sank when he was shown sick. I enjoyed the video so much, up to that part, and found myself wishing I didn't watch it all. I was very relieved when he got well again. I know that sooner or later, all our cats pass away, but, please not in the video.

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

Thank you:) ...there can never be too much floofyness............

[@WolfFireheart]

Aaaaw! After the one week skip, Nerina wanted to play sooooo badly with the kittens. She just didn't seem to have the confident or know how to initiate play. As initiating play can often be seen as a attack, and she didn't want to be attacked back! At least that's why I think she did so much "Soft hit and run!" Practically screaming "I want to play! I'm friendly I swear!"

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

Wow! I couldn't say it better, you hit the nail on the head! This is EXACTLY what happened. You should have cats, do you have cats? Thank you for your comment:)

[@WolfFireheart]

@@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551 I dooo ^^ I somehow ended up with four :p I hope all of them are playing nicely with each other by now! And Nerina might not have liked Merlins grooming because grooming can be a none aggressive way of establishing dominance. Not sure what the differences between normal grooming and dominance grooming is tho :s And thank you for the sweet vid! Was so nice watching them take care of Merlin when he was sick ^^

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

Wow, four cats, you must be surrounded by love then....! I think so too, and Nerina, unlike the other three, is the only one who does not accept to be dominated. Maybe for Merlin it feels like she is saying that he is not good and strong enough for her to respect and that must be somehow frustrating for him, so he gets even more intense with her... nature, you scary.... and yes, sweet Nerina is opening up, she is playing more and more with them, though she still sometimes growls during the playtime (she still doesn't trust them 100%) buuuut she's playing with them so, it's something...:) Thank you so much, it's nice to have viewers like you. Have a wonderful furry evening!;)

[@WolfFireheart]

@@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551 Cats don't have a very structured pack system like wolfs do. So she might just be saying "I am your equal, not your underling." And the most dominant or leader of a pack of cats doesn't have to be male. Being a little stronger doesn't mean to much for cats. As each adult cat is more then good enough to hunt and kill by themselves. I don't think Merlin "Isn't good enough." Nerina just doesn't want to be under anyone! :p And have have a lovely evening as well ^^

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

Hi Laura, thank you for your lovely comment! that sounds great! We didn't know either, first we just wanted one Ragdoll, we thought it would be alright but after a few weeks we knew Merlin was getting lonely, he needed someone non-human to groom and play and just be around. Nerina on the other hand would have been THE PERFECT single-housed cat! There are always exceptions, right? But getting two siblings who already know and love each other, that sounds perfect:) I wish you the best of luck and happiness with your future kittens

[@elsagrace3893]

There’s nothing cuter than a group of cat siblings. The way they play and love each other.

[@Nirrrina]

Bonded pairs are awesome! Plus they're actually harder for groups to find a home for. So if you tell them you want a bonded pair they'll find it for you.

[@elizabethevenson6110]

i hope your move went well, and yeah if you haven't already picked/been picked BY furry bbs, a lot of rescues/shelters will SERIOUSLY work with you if you're going in with "i want a bonded pair" as at least a very strong preference. (for a lot of valid reasons, it's harder to place bonded pairs, even ones where both of them are sweeties with no major health/temperament issues).

Us too, that was a haaaaard few days but he's a figher! ..are your cats still young? or are they maybe two girls😅? Oh yes, the expansion has many facetes... ;)

[@jonaeflure]

@@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551 Yes, they are girls. Sugar 9 and Myla 2. I've thought they were bonding a few months ago when I caught them on my bed and Sugar was grooming Myla but I was wrong. They only seem to want to attack each other when I'm in their presence. It's almost like they want to show whose the boss when I'm watching them. I rescued Myla with 3 of her siblings when they were 7-8 weeks old. They were so flea infested one sister didn't even make it through the night. Her other siblings adjusted quickly to being domesticated but Myla was always leary and skittish. She's very loving with me. Always grooming my face and hands but she never really settled in. I adopted her out when she was younger but the lady said she couldn't keep her after 2 weeks because her cat was constantly attacking her. When I brought her back home I knew she was traumatized so I didn't want her to ever get traumatized so I decided to make my home her 4ever home. I also have another cat named Spice but he gets along with both of them. Any suggestions?

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

@@jonaeflure Oh wow this is quite a story! What you said about only attacking when you're watching is very interesting, same thing happens with Merlin and Nerina. Hmm... this may sound weird but it is amazing how it works with our Cats! I don't know if this is a Cats thing or if it's just working with our Cats: They are SO telepathic. One example: Recently Merlin was sleeping and I had the thought: "Merlin, I can see you right now grooming your sister over there very gently and you both love it and love one another." Next thing I know, he wakes up, goes directly to Nerina (what he usually never does) and starts grooming her gently. This is ONE of MAAAAANNNYYYY, many examples. So maybe when you start imagine specific situations of happiness and love, whatever comes to your mind, when you see them in your mind being sweet to one another, maybe one time they will pick it up. After that one time happens, you won't be able to stop this "manipulation" ;)) But the picture has to have emotions we noticed and with our cats you have to wait about half a minute until they receive and react... This is my spontaneous suggestion. Maybe the ones who read this can jump in and give other tips as well?? ...Or just call us crazy😄 Lots of hugs to Sugar, Myla and to the uncomplicated Spice :)

[@sylviedefaine8007]

You have to re-introduce the cats to each other, put the ones who accept each other in one part of the house, the others in another part, where they can still smell each other underneath the door, feed them the same time at each side of the door daily so they associate each others smell with something good, after 2 to 5 days they will make you know by scratching at the door they want to meet, let them see each other first trough cracking open the door a little bit for just 2 - 3 more days before letting them out again, then you will have properly introduced cats, make sure you do playtime wiht them before feeding, important to have their energy in check and not making them go ballistic, and lots of loving and petting after feeding, or nap time, depending on the cat's moods and needs, sometimes if you have an energy bomb cat, you will need an extra playtime after feeding, but that's rare.

[@jonaeflure]

@@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551 OMG! Never have I done this before. I know my cats are telepathic about flea treatments so I'll definitely be trying to think good thoughts in advance. Thank you so much for your insight!

[@Nedasnothere]

What a whirlwind story! If Merlin didn't recover, I was seriously going to lose it. Absolutely stunning cats.

[@honeybadger1847]

I had a Merlin, a flame-point Ragdoll named William (after the poet Yeats). He was not the sharpest claw on the paw, but his heart was as big as the universe. I did not know until his final vet visit at 23, the visit where you return home with an empty cat carrier, that Willy-Billy was the glue holding my feline family together. The tortie divas were lost without him. And they are gone now, too, except for Isabella and Pippi. Soon Isabella will make that final trip,’and Pippi will be alone, the last cat standing. How I wish another William could grace our lives.

[@elizabethevenson6110]

i hope you find one soon, because yeah, it always hurts. i have a calico who runs my house, so i can believe your tortie divas were "where the fuck is our nice loving floofy bro?" grieving. i have done that trip twice, and have had a "we don't know how but i know they're gone" experience twice over too. (i suspect but can't prove human shittiness because they were both indoor-outdoor rescues, i was very "Bastet, if this was accidental, then so be it, but if not they were yours please be CREATIVE in your vengeance".) doing the trip was easier, but that was mostly because i could be with them at the end and one was FeLeuk+ so i'd known it was gonna happen eventually. (PSA: FIV and FeLeuk+ cats can and do live pretty decent lives in the right setup and mine played/lived with two negative ones, never infected them, and beat HER lifespan odds by a bunch so if the right one hasn't come along don't automatically rule ones with those diagnoses out k thz plz?) my other one was "HOW old is she again?" and had diabetes besides being at the point where she couldn't reliably make the litter box which she'd never had real issues with before and which is generally a bad sign for a cat period.

Merlin's illness episode gave me a gut ache, as I know how it is with my own Merlin - our 20 1/2 year old Russian Blue - where every day he's still with us is a blessing but there's been so many close calls in the last 2 years. So glad they have 9 lives to go through! :)

I just found your delightful channel and I am happy I did. Beautiful cats, all of them. You can tell they are well-loved. I am glad Merlin got well. Bless your big heart and the way they have backyard freedom.

I've been reading and responding to some of the comments here, and I'm so glad you've got Ragdoll cats. I've had cats all my life, even though I've also been totally blind since birth. They even seem to know it. They really do read our energy and how we do everything, and that's what inspires me to adopt cats who've been abused or neglected. To be fair, I've also had a cat we got from a breeder in France. She was a Siamese, and they're one of my favorite types, especially the so-called throw backs from before they were bred with drippy eyes and noses. I've also had several other breeds, but I really would love to have a Ragdoll, because I hope it'll help me get more and more comfortable with picking them up and holding them. I've always been a little nervous doing that, because I've been bitten and scratched before. Now, my last three cats were and are so patient with me, and I couldn't be happier! Is there something different about the way Ragdolls like to be picked up, or is it that they just naturally go limp in your arms when you pick them up and hold them? Also, I couldn't find any closed captions, annotations or subtitles here that I could read either in Braille on a display or when using text-to-speech, screen-reading software. I only hear music so far. If the information is depicted within the video, it won't be picked up by our text-reading devices, because it's in picture format. I also know you've done a lot of videos, but it would be so nice if your blind audience could read descriptions of what's going on throughout these videos either as annotations or subtitles, or as time-stamped descriptions in the description field. It'd also just be nice to hear them interacting whether through play, eating together, purring, sleeping (if they snore or make silly noises), or doing whatever they're doing. If you're talking to them or just whispering in their ear, (and those are some of the most special times I've had with my cats), they're so cute when they try to rub my nose with theirs. Theo would climb onto the back of the recliner while I'm lying back in it, and he'd get into position and flop right over onto my chest, purring madly and nibbling on my fingers. He had the cutest sweet-talk, and he'd happily swish or whap me with his long, bushy tail. He loved his belly rubs. Each cat has its own personality, and that's what makes them so special. Anyway, thanks for letting me share, and I look forward to hearing your response. Heather from Atlanta, Georgia

I could spend entire days just looking at those cats interacting! They all seem very friendly and got used to each other quickly (even Nerina!) I have two cats (no particular race) and after 6 months they still do not get along. I hope they'll eventually be as good friends as yours are!

[@janetpattison8474]

OMG. THE precious cats are soooooooooooooo beautiful. What a family!! Holy moley. And I worry about taking care of one! Best kitty video ever! and the sound track was also AMAZING and captivating, it should win the best kitty feature film award!!

[@takeadeepbreathin]

Oh my heart sank when I saw Merlin was sick. I'm so glad he is doing okay now. It made me hug my ragdoll, Rufus. Ragdolls are the best cats ever. Glad everyone is doing well and that they all get along! I'm so happy for you all! Sending all my love and best wishes!

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

Thank you Tamara for your kind words! Big hugs to you and Ragdoll Rufus!

[@valerie5182]

I have a flamepoint ragdoll. I bet when they all get purring it gets loud! Thank you for sharing this!

[@raymondchandler697]

I loved this video and the story telling text but I was really worried about Merlin. That part was very stressful. So glad he made a full recovery.

[@jonaedvards8888]

I recently started watching your videos. This one was the first one I saw. I have since watched all of them and I often do. They make me feel good.. I completely fell in love with your beautiful cats. Both the ragdolls and the American curl. Each one of the cats really seems to have a unique personality and each one is charming in it´s one way. Your videos are among the best cat videos I have seen. Always pretty environment, your interior nice and classy and your garden so pretty. Also love the music you use and your subtitles are lovely because nice and really shows how well you know and love your cats. Also the dog Jessy was sweet with the cats.

[@fourragdollsandalittlelady8551]

Wow, Jona, Thank you very much for your so lovely comment!

[@padiwari62]

I totally agree ! 😊❤ .... there's much much love in there ❤❤❤ . (btw, if you happen to miss new videos and don't know yet, Four Ragdolls and a Little Lady has a new channel (due to some youtube issues I understand ...) called 4 Ragdolls and 1 little lady)

[@labelledamedumanor4876]

They're all so lovely! Especially Lady, those cute furry elf ears! I was in SHOCK at the part when Merlin got sick, they all grouped around to help him recover, if THAT doesn't prove emotions in animals, get your head examined!

[@evelinereherreher7049]

Lovely creatures!

[@CCecil78]

Beautiful Ragdolls!!! I need to find a new ragdoll playmate for my boy Pye.
