Brady Bunching: Introducing Two Groups of Cats

I’ve made tons of videos about introducing cats, but what about introducing one group of cats to another group of cats? Things can get tricky with so many personalities in play - but don’t worry, I’m here to help! Whether you’re moving into someone else’s home or starting fresh in a space that is new to everybody, follow these tips to ensure a successful “bunching”!

MOVING SUCKS! That was the best way to start this vid. But I would never leave you Cat Mojoteeers in the dark. Check this out, but don't stop there - check out the videos below in the description for more in-depth how-to's for the specific moments in this vid. I'd never leave you hanging

[@occamsrazor9183]

Greetings, @JacksonGalaxy, I have a shelter save cat for 8 years now, she wasn't a kitten, or an adult when I got her. She has suddenly started chewing the fur off off her own front legs when I touch/pet her back? Can you tell me what to do to cure this? She has only months ago, loved being brushed? Thank you

[@stanfischer9949]

Thanks Cat Daddy

[@sherryswegle3339]

Okay, but Where did you get that shirt and do they make women's clothes? I also love you very much. I also lost my mom and them moved all of our animals 1000 miles away from all we've known. 6 months ago.

[@dao8805]

Just a reminder that Caroline is very much on all our hearts and minds. ❤🙏

[@StoryMing]

Hi Jackson! Not Brady bunching- i’m currently in transition, and catless, but hope to have a cat again once I’m more settled. But here’s the thing… You’ve mentioned the importance of routines more than once in your videos; however, I work retail, which means my schedule is unpredictable from week to week and day to day. This makes it next to impossible to lock in on a regular dependable mealtime. -Any advice?

[@JacksonGalaxy]

LOL so glad it's noticed that I committed to the wardrobe! Let's you know when I grew up!

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

I watched the series; also, I lived in an A-Frame 1960s-75.

Why do the first 2 steps sound like the best way for someone to introduce ME to new places and people? 😂😂

[@JacksonGalaxy]

YESSSSSS

[@sonyam493]

Our cat Thomas was traumatized by moving. I moved him twice. But I adopted Thomas after someone else moved and left him behind, so the packing and stuff leaving was very scary for him. Once he was in the new home and reunited with his stuff, and realized he was not being left behind, he again became the king of the castle.

[@kimberdawn4424]

First off, Jackson, I have to compliment you on the RETRO OUTFIT! ❤LOVE❤ IT❣️ Thank you for all you do to help us with our cat furbabies. You are indeed the CAT DADDY. 🙏🙏PRAYING you, your wife and furbabies are adjusting to Caroline's journey.🙏🙏 Many BLESSINGS & PRAYERS most of all, for Caroline. Give her some sugar 😘 from your superfans here on KZbin. We ❤LOVE❤ and support you and Caroline.🙏🙏

[@marywatkins9438]

It’s the rose-colored glasses for me.👌🏿

[@box510motorcycles3]

Never thought about the Brady bunch comparison, but that's exactly what I did. After my mother went into the nursing home, I moved to a new home and mixed my 3 cats with my mother's 3 cats a under one new roof. I used ALOT of stuff I've learned watching Jackson over the years. Would have never been able to do it without his cat wisdom. From moving litter boxes in trash bags (including used litter) to base camping with screen doors inside the house (I had to use 2 base camp rooms for the 2 groups of cats). THANKS JACKSON!!! Great video.

[@SusanDGElf]

Thanks Jackson. When I rescued a feral TNR cat from work 5-years ago, he stayed in 'the man cave' for 2-weeks to quarantine and acclimate to living in a house rather than on the streets, dodging coyotes, hawks, owls, etc. My 2 other cats (male and female) got 'acquainted' with him through the gap under the door until his vet check & testing for FIP, FLV came back negative and he was vaccinated/chipped. Things went well as he came into a house/territory fully immersed in the resident felines' scent, and he gradually begin rubbing and scent marking (never any urine spraying, for which I'm grateful) everything as his house too. Even though there are still a few growls and mumbles from the Bo (the king of the house) we are a peaceful, "blended" family. After 5-1/2 years, this feral kitty has turned out to be the best snuggler and lap-cat I could ever want.

[@azbellonline]

Oh wow.. I had to go through Brady Bunching with 4 different cats many yrs ago. We definitely followed a process. But moved into a brand new space with everyone. We exposed the cat smells to everyone first by trading blankets, toys, etc. before moving. When we moved we used pheromone plug-ins to help with stress. That helped tremendously. We used them for about 7 months. We never had to separate any of them. There were other things we did also, that were mentioned here in Jackson's video. So glad he posted this. It definitely doesn't happen over night. Patience is definitely needed.

[@tonyamendivel2826]

Cool 😎 hope your cat 🙀 Caroline is still hanging in there or comfortable my friend 😢 have a great day ! ❤😊🙋‍♀️👍💕🙏💋😘

[@JacksonGalaxy]

Thank you, I will probalby be posting another update about her next week.

[@kayhey3426]

The Brady girls had a cat, Fluffy, when Mike and Carol married. It caused a commotion with the boys' dog, Tiger, at the wedding. Sadly, after the wedding, only Tiger was welcomed into the Bunch. Poor Fluffy! Abandoned!😢

OMG I FORGOT. BOOOOOOOO PATRIARCHY!

[@meow2u22]

​@@JacksonGalaxyPatriarchy should be illegal.

[@sparrocat]

I've used the Ultimate Peacemaker set and can't recommend it enough! I have a 4-year-old cat who's not so much a bully, but he's filled to the brim with mojo! Meanwhile, my 8-year-old pitbull is such a sweet soul that the cat's fearlessly playful nature used to make him nervous. After a few weeks of putting a few drops of Peacemaker in the communal water bowl, a little Bully Solution in the cat's meals, and a little Self Esteem in the dog's meals my bipetual duo sleep together, play together, and fill our home with so much love! They play-chase each other often, they both play fetch with their own separate toys, and they both sleep in the bed with my partner and I every single night.

[@tiffy101ification]

I have 6 cats and 3 dogs. Thankfully they all like each other & a couple of the dogs and cats love each other. It’s really cute.

[@darkones12345]

we've moved from washington, to germany, to Las vegas, to louisiana, back to Washington with our cats. All of these tips work to minimise the stress. Follow them all!!!

[@lms1068]

Our last move 12 months ago was the best. Our kitties moved in and were sorted within 3 days! One cat came with us for a visit, she refused to get out the car, so came too. She's weird and enjoys car rides. Love the shirt Jackson ❤

[@alliematelski1767]

When i first saw you on animal planet years and years ago I thought "this guy is some wacko!" Well I was SO proven wrong! Although I'm more of a dog person I recently discovered your KZbin channel and re acquainted myself with who you are and I LOVE watching these videos to help me keep up to date with the cat world because we all know a friend that has a cat! Knowledge is power! And I'm so sorry to think of you as anything other than an awesome educator! 🎉(to say the least) Keep on rockin!❤

[@atru3000]

The commitment Jackson has to the theme is top tier! I’m not even introducing another cat and came straight here, love this! Also I need tht shirt….👀 me searching the mens department for tht button up 🔎

[@Lunabug2021]

My husband & I took our first road trip together in the 10 years that we've been together & brought our cat along for her first time & stayed in a vacation home for 3 nights & applied the moving tips for our trip & she was comfortable after only 6 hours! Our next road trip we are going to stay at the same cabin for 7 nights & I'm hopeful she will love it even more since she'll remember the space 🥰

[@malkav3119]

I could have used this over a year ago 😂 my wife moved in with her cats and they really didn't get along well with my ones. Took us the better part of a year to get them to be on the same couch with us at the same time. Now we are fine-ish most of the time. Feeding is still a thing but the rest is fine 😉

[@joyann4510]

Hey Jackson, sometimes it still cool to relive our childhood memories. It can be listening to old school music, or dressing up I old clothes. I think you look COOL, Cat Daddy😂❤🐈😺💖

[@triplejmom7826]

moving is a nightmare. True, also, it might be a good idea to clean the carpets of the house or apt. We found out the previous owners had had a dog. Once we thoroughly cleaned the wall to wall carpets in the bedrooms our cats became so so much happier & calmer. great video.

[@lisagking8853]

I have volunteered at a wildlife vet clinic. Let me tell you, I totally get what you’re saying. And if my cats could deal with me being a foster mom to so many kinds of animals? I really get what you’re saying. Even if you’re not moving, you’re changing their lives in a big way, over and over. But they actually got use to it. And yes, I was very careful. And I want to thank you for your valuable information. It has come in VERY HANDY. And my cats are still happy, comfy, cozy and warm. 👍♥️

I’m digging that outfit! We need that in the Galaxy shop as well! ❤️

My sweet boy Mio was such a cool kitty. He adapted very well to new surroundings. It’s almost been 4 months since he left me. There will never be a kitty like him. ❤️ Ps. He hated other cats though 🤣😂

[@teresaford5053]

My cat, Janey, is going on 18 years old & has been moved with me 3 different times ... always adjusting well - however, she did not care for other people (even my adult now children) & no cats either!! I'm expecting her to not be with me for long tho - how old do cats live for ... she seems ok but sleeps ALL the time except to eat, drink, use litter box & .... follow me 🐈

[@vegan4lyfe564]

My boy is named Milo he also adjusted fine to moving

[@NaTyra6411]

I'm in the middle of a cat-astrophe and could use some advice! 10 days ago, I rescued what turned out to be a ferrel cat all wrapped up in ribbon. She was really scared the first few days but quickly opened up. Asking for pets, kneading my chest, sleeping in the bed. She even let me pick her up without mauling me. Once, I left the door open by accident, and she didn't even try to run! We were well on our way 🥰 Unfortunately, she was covered in scabs from scratching and was generally in rough shape. My vet came by yesterday morning to care for her, and boy did she fight! Afterward, she ran under the bed and will not come out for anything! She never even went under the bed in the time I had her. She'll run out to eat, avoiding everyone as much as possible, and run directly back under the bed. When I talk to her under the bed, she just watches me, and if I attempt to pet her under there, she's on attack mode. I broke her trust and have no idea how to get it back! I could really use some advice 😪💔

[@Herr_Vorragender]

Sit there, don't talk, read a book, radiate calm and quite, have strips of boiled chicken at your side, and give her time. When you're no there, leave treats on used t-shirts scattered around. If nothing changes within a couple of days seal off the passage towards under the bed.

[@heartforall5853]

You can throw some food under the bed and each time throw it closer to you so that she has to come closer to you.

[@lucianagimenez9283]

I needed this SO MUCH! I'm about to double Brady with my boyfriend and his cats, and my cats. This helps a lot!

[@YngwiesDaughter13]

Man... this advice is pretty spot on. I wish I'd have had it when I was moving with my boyfriend and our cat. Retrospect though, I learned a lot about our dynamics and I wouldn't trade it for the world. We now all have our routines and spaces... though the routines have changed a bit due to both of our jobs and that's been stressful. We definitely all had our moments but that's no longer a thing. I'm really proud of us. It's been a little less than a year, we're all still transitioning but it does get better. We did a REALLY big move from Michigan to Pennsylvania. This is all really solid advice. The toys really do help. We also all eat together and it's my favorite part of the day every day. 🥰 then we all sit on the couch or play. This advice is pretty applicable for someone that's never had a pet. Also, never lived with someone outside of family. My mans is currently cuddled up behind my legs as I'm laying in bed. I am, I've learned, weirdly similar to a cat. Maybe it's not that weird? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@kellyjohnson3617]

When I travel with my cat it’s like moving. So I make sure I stay in our routines. I bring her base camp scent soakers with me. Her fav blankets, fav scratcher, fav toys, I try to stay in the same hotel rooms if I can. When I visit my mom in WA(I live in So Cal) we stay in the same room every time. I put her things in the same places. My mom has a cat. They pretty quickly were exploring each other by sniffing at the door. They got treats and praise each time they sniffed each other thru the door. Next visit my mom put her cat out in his fav place, the garage. So let my cat out so she could explore other rooms in peace. Cuz my mom’s cat had months to explore my cats base camp for months. Then we let them see each other once I could see they wanted to see each other. My mom’s cat instantly rolled over on his back and showed her his belly and my female cat felt at ease. They aren’t buddies yet but they totally tolerate each other. My moms cat is a free feeder and my cat is a rescue with a sensitive tummy so I have to watch her like a hawk cuz she loves dry food cuz to her it’s an unlimited treat dispenser and she never says no to treats. lol. But so far so good. The kitties seem to be getting along. My mom’s cat wants to cuddle with her and my cat tolerates him so I think we are in a good place. I used the same technique introducing my cat to my best friends service dog. 🐕‍🦺 penny wants to cuddle with and lick my kitty. My baby tolerates her as long as she doesn’t cuddle or lick. So my kitty hisses to let penny know she’s too close. Penny then remembers to back off. Snd they are good.

[@aprilbox3766]

I did the basic brady, with just 2 cats, the resident and the newcomer. Really good technique. Thanks for explaining it so well.

[@TheFlamingTurkey]

When I got Leon from my friend (Leon didn't get along well with the other cats, so my friend had to keep him locked in one room..) it took him two days to be completely at home. It was a last minute descision, but we made sure that he had the run of the home, and we kept the toys my friend have in a box by the cat tree we got him (and he quickly grew out of). But now, he is a happy bab, who runs aroumd, meows his head off, and be adorably cheeky.

[@rehtea4]

I think this is a really great video. I volunteered for a cat charity a few years ago and it made me so sad when I'd get a phone call from someone who was giving up their cat because they were moving in with someone who had a dog or who had another cat instead of trying to create a harmonious environment for all of them so one of them wouldn't be given up. Anyway! We adopted another cat in 2020 and had to gradually introduce them. It was a lot of back and forth, and took a few months to get them used to each other, but it teaches you patience!

[@HeKeepsMeSinging]

Thanks for these awesome tips! When my son (Cat Daddy of 3) and I (Cat Mom of 2) moved from our separate homes to a single home, it was quite an adjustment. The 10 hr drive alone wasn't as tough as I thought it would be though. I'd never moved with cats. My son drove the U-Haul with 2 of his, I followed with 3 kitties. They were basically quiet, I'm sure from fear, then after about 8 hours, they meowed more often. I felt so sorry for them. I told my son I figured out what they were saying, "Are we there yet?" lol. After moving in to an already furnished place, there were very few items with the smells from our 2 homes. 2 months later, it's gotten better, but we are all still adjusting.

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

Sounds exactly what happened when I moved in with my adult children. My daughter has 3 cats. Technically, this was a "2 people with pets moving into a new place", but my kids moved in a couple of months before I did. My daughter did socialize with 2 of her cats when I lived in my own place. My cat has his litter box in my closet, but now it's a community box.....as well as the 2 in my daughter's room.

I agree with you Jackson 💯 moving sucks 😕 😢😮, I 1st had my husband move in with me with his 2 females and I had 2 males cats, the girls knew that they were not the top cats but they all loved each other. Then we moved and the 1 female cat 🐈 hide in the fire place for several days. She left little foot prints🐾🐾 everywhere 😅😂. We moved again and we came home to the same female was walking backwards 😢. Never did figure what happened, but she was fine. The story is that they are not happy about moving 😿😾

We are working since Christmas time bringing a feral kitten into our family. Your process has really helped us before and is working now. We are at base camp and screen door and switching areas etc. Next week is am going to let folks run around openly while I work n my office. Can supervise as needed. Thank you so much for the work you do. It is obvious in your videos that you have a passion for helping others and our fur friends!

I made a whole room for the kittys with “ALL” their stuff. Mine love a concrete routine. In fact they remind me if I miss something on the daily routine.

Finally this topic is discussed. I've been needing this information lol.

[@pixelpoppyproductions]

This is fantastic. We have 6 cats, most of whom are foster-fails. I think we’re at our maximum for cats, lol. But I will try to remember these ideas in the future. Also we often combined foster kitten litters. Sometimes there could be a mix of 4 different litters. But at that age, they don’t know how to be afraid yet - they just think it’s normal. We also ended up keeping some of those kittens, and you’ll probably never meet a more laid back feline..

[@BrittMFH]

Very lucky kittens!!!!😊

[@shimako8183]

This is a really super creative way of illustrating your point. Brady Bunch was way before my time, so this is the first I've heard of it. But the way you've used it as an analogy for moving with cats is amazing.

You rock, Jackson 😃 thank you for the awesome episode. Love from South Africa

[@laurajarrell6187]

Jackson, I'm so enjoying all your stuff. I wish I could donate, more often and regularly, but old and poor now. I had less trouble with my 'shelter annex' house, where I generally had 8 to 10 , dogs and cats, in the house, and rabbits, horses and more outside! Now, can't afford that, but have one dog, and two cats who will be accepting a 'feral' I'm getting readt to TNR, R being my bedroom at first, lol. We live too close to busy road, Blue will be my 5th 'dropped' off, or abandoned by movers! I HATE humans that treat ANY animal as disposable!! Finally got him to my touch, all over, and feeding, even sort of accepting the old dog. He literally rolled his eyes at my cats hiss, but they've met thru door. Now, saving for vet, then here, woozy! Works good. If a few pee mistakes, handleable! They'll accept, all same age. I'll, lol, get a kitten or two or an obnoxious pup for them to hate together, once our dog is gone, that does wonders. Fosters, to find homes. Hard ages. Best I can do. 👍💙💙💙🥰✌

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

I had to redo "base camp" even though we didn't move and I only have 1 cat. But he suddenly went blind at 14. I had to reteach him everything including his unmoved predictable litter box and food/water locations. Within a few days he was back to his independent self again.

All this information you share was so helpful when we moved last summer. We moved to a new house and new city. We set up a base camp and I set up all their cat trees and toys and furniture. Set them on a feeding routine. Soon all three cats were settling in and getting along and feeling at home.

13:43 hi Jackson, I didn’t discover you until after the big move when my brother who lived 1200 miles away move down and join me in my home. He brought his cat with him now I already had 11 cats. These were cats that basically showed up at the house I had them neutered and spayed and they are free roaming in that I live in an acre not on a busy road and they have door flaps that they can go through to go outside. I have dishes for feeding in the garage in the kitchen and on the back porch that they can all get to, my brother’s cat was kind of semi-feral meaning that he got her from somebody at another house. She had been wandering the streets and they lived together as far as I know quite happily, but she never really liked people and she will. I don’t touch her much, but she will flash out at people even my brother sometimes if she’s irritated, and he pets her, they’ve been here a year in about six months ago. A lady brought another cat to me. My kindly neighbor suggested it and said she was in bad way and sick and all this well what she really had is a lot of missing for high quarters I think she was stressed out, living outside and the problem is that my cats like to chase my brothers cats the new one has become one of his their female. Most of my cats are male and they tend to run. If my cats sneak up on them, they don’t play they get panicky. I would love some of your wisdom and insight about a week ago his originally semi-feral cat decided to start peeing on his bed. He sleeps with his door closed. Two females are in his room. He gets up in the morning, feeds the cats and goes out to have coffee one day the cat, his cat decided I guess while he was outside to pee on his bed, he was fit to be tied, I suggested a sedative that I’ve gotten for a different cat and a couple of days later she did it again so I suggested to him that what he should do is when he feeds her he should take him out take her outside with him and that seem to fix that problem. She still going to the vet to get checked out. Make sure there’s nothing else wrong but what I need to do is calm this cat especially really both of them but I have to calm these both of these cats so that they don’t run from my cats not in fear just in playhelp me

Wow! Nice breakdown! Yes, moving absolutely sucks.

These also seem to apply to introducing a feral kiddo to your home. I used a lot of these techniques with my newest daughter who is very feral.

I brought my black cat Jasper from Vancouver, BC to Nova Scotia. He hated the car, but settled after a couple days. He loved the motels. The dog on the other hand….

[@FragrantlyOdious]

I've been living in a car for about 2 years and my elderly dog passed away almost 4months ago... A beautiful little tabby/calico moggie approached me 2 months ago and won't leave me alone. I am already feeding her and giving her warmth... It's almost like my dog sent her as a guardian... I intent to take her to the vet to make sure she's up to check and to make sure someone isn't missing her but I'm fairly certain she was dropped at the dumpster near where I stay. She's definitely put her scent all over the car and is constantly waiting for me when I leave. I hope soon I will have a place to stay and bring her with me so she has a permanent place to call her own.

[@FragrantlyOdious]

I also want to mention how fierce she is ... She chased off a big stray german shepherd that came by a few days ago. It completely took me by surprise how defensive she is xD

Also..... Thank you Jackson for your input and knowledge x

I have used a pheromone based diffuser in moving, or any stressful experiences like introducing a new cat into established cat household, using the base camp for the new kitty!

[@LHaines28]

Thank you… do you have a video on what to do when I bring a 2 months puppy? I have 1 senior cat and 2 young ones. Thank you!!! You are great

[@jadedjhypsi]

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your shirt, Jackson. And this video is so needed right now as we recently took in a neighborhood cat that our only furbaby is not adjusting to too well.... But what else to do? BTW, grew up watching The Bunch 💕 💕

[@Casey51220]

Hi! Thank you so much for your videos and helpful information. We are currently a little over a month into "Brady bunching" My 2 cats and I moved into my partner's space with his 2 cats. Unfortunately things didn't work out as we had planned with keeping my 2 cats in one room (home base) and his 2 cats outside of that room and slowly introducing the pairs using these methods. My 2 cats who are deeply bonded have gone through a period of I suppose non recognition aggression/aggression, when one of my cats right away became very overwhelmed with the scents in the new place and hissing/growling, etc. came after - some directed at my other cat/human. We separated them to their own separate rooms and the other 2 cats are out and about in the home. The overall unease/fear/aggression has gotten better, however, we haven't been able to get my 2 cats back together. We have been using a screen and feeding times to slowly re-introduce. Every time I think it's getting better, we have some more hissing. We have been ending on a high note most times/when we can. Not sure what to do. Haven't even gotten to start the door feeding with the other 2 cats. TLDR - Has anyone else experienced a hiccup with brady bunching where one bunch become aggressive toward each other/have to be separated? Please help! This was a challenge we didn't expect...It's been so hard to have to have them separated, when not so long ago they were snuggling up together every day.

Whenever, we got a new cat we would put the new cat in our room, master with a litter bix in the ensuite, while the 'normal house cats, had the run of the house and outside, with a litterbox in the upstairs toilet, if they chose to use it instead of going outside. The next day, we reversed it, except locking the cat flap to outside and putting an extra litter box in the downstairs ensuite. After a week of this, we introduced 1 cat at a time into our bedroom, with me supervising from the bed. The next day, a different cat, after 2-3 wks of this, and all cats content with new cat; we didn’t separate anymore. But didn’t let the new cat outside unless we were outside with it on a long leash, with a thin light rope tied to one of the decking supports. Until it was confident and happy out there. Never had a problem; infact this even worked when we looked after my sister's terrier cross.

Thinking of your family and sweet Caroline

[@stanfischer9949]

Hilarious . My cat was always run under the couch or bed when we move into a new apartment, and stay there for a couple days until hunger drove it out into the open. Then it would get used to the new environment

[@JacksonGalaxy]

wait till you see our video in the next few weeks - don't have to tough love! Buuuuut...gott do something. So what to do?!

[@WhoAmI2YouNow]

Aww... You didn't give food and water under the bed?...

[@gloriarodriguez3721]

You sister and I bunched my two cats with her three it was very seamless. There was some hissing exchanged but it its was very chill. Feeding at bye same tine was very important

[@oceanlvr1967]

Lol.. once the cat trees went up and food bowls went out they were all like ok this is mine, where the food ?? Week later they were running through house in between looking at the birds and squirrels outside the windows 😁
