Introducing a Rescued Kitten to the Big Cats for the First Time │ Episode.1

[@monkface]

This is the correct and responsible way to introduce pets. Step by step, get them used to scents, face to face thru a baby gate, then face to face! Soon they'll be snoozing on each other!

[@claire6795]

They did well. I've seen disasters !

[@briantresden2933]

The big step is to feed them next to each other with the barrier in place so they can get used to eating and having the positive experience next to each other.

This was me 3 months ago after my boyfriend rescued a kitten from the road 😺 I kept him inside a large dog crate when I wasn't home. He had injuries probably from climbing into a car engine 😢 broken leg and jaw and he's blind in one eye. But he's fine and running around like nothing happened ❤️😺

Years ago I adopted a kitten (Ginger) that was just like that with my older cat (Sam). When I introduced them, Sam arched his back and hissed at Ginger. She gave it right back to him. Two days later they ended up trying to play with the same string toy wrapped around a doorway so they couldn't see each other. They suddenly realized they had been playing together and were inseparable after that. Sam took Ginger from me and raised her, playing with, grooming and cuddling her constantly. It was adorable. I miss them both.

Thank you for showing people how to properly introduce cats and kittens to one another. Most people just throw their cats in the same room, and watch them fight, and record it thinking it's funny. It's not. First meetings can have a BIG impact on cats and kittens. It's better to take it slowly.

I have never known an example of an adult cat attacking a kitten, unless there are already behavioural issues with the adult animal. The cage is not necessary.

[@JFrazer4303]

Better to bring them right to each other, each one held by a human who introduces them and gets them close to each other while not allowing any hostile action. If one gets hostile, it gets petted and reassured and rolled on its back so it's impossible for it to feel dominant or even try to act threatening.

[@snakecharms2320]

@@JFrazer4303 if you pet an animal that misbehaves you're reinforcing that bad behavior. Introducing cats slowly is better, not shoving them together instantly. Most cats will not tolerate an adult or kitten in it's territory/home.

[@Casket1488]

This is definitely the best way to ease the tension of bringing a new cat into your house. Keep the new cat in a separate room for a few days or and let them sniff around the door.

That first face to face meeting Haru immediately went into the subservient pose, head down, not making eye contact. They're getting used to new smells and sorting out the pecking order. Far too few cat owners do this the right way and give the animals time to get used to each other as they need to.

[@MassiveHappyClapper]

Having just literally done this with a 7 year old cat and a 4 month old Kitten just over a week ago. My advice is take your time. Create a safe space. Do not introduce at all first. The scent for another cat is quite overwhelming. Swap some items belonging to each after a couple of days. Ignore any hissing as if you tell the cat who is hissing off, it strengthens a dislike for the kitten. Kittens are easy and pretty accepting. Be patient with the older cat. Use treats when the other cat enters the room for the first week. Also feed separately, opposite side of a door if possible. Each cat needs to live without conflict over food. Keep play separate for a while until you see affection like licking and head butts etc. Then try and use toys that engage both. We use the laser pointer, track and ball and we have an electric toy with feather that spins with holes for them both to get. In a short time our eldest Cat went from hissing and batting a bit to being friends and washing her and playing. After 10 days they are very happy thankfully. The video here is great and good advice, you have to just read what they are doing and trust your instincts. You have to be aware as well it can take on average 3-4 weeks for hissing to stop, maybe occasionally longer. As people we can sometimes read it is aggression but most of the time it is just, I want space, I don't know you or trust you yet, stay back. If you follow the rules and for me the key ones are separate feeding, play, no cat nip for a while as it can bring slight aggression, keep trays clean and have them separate then alot can be overcome fast. You need to give the kitten as safe zone. One room at the start as well that it has room to play, snuggle and adapt. Most of all just love them and give it time. The average time for a cat to build a relationship is between 8 to 10 months. So go in and expect it not to be all rosy at the start. With the right attitude it will come good.

[@AmarothEng]

5:20 this is the point where I'd suggest to break the staredown which can quickly turn into something messy by trying to distract them by using toys or treats. They need to get to know the other one is not a threat, and that they can share good things together.

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO ❤❤❤ 1) The cat-to-cat introductions were spot on with what I have read and watched in KZbin videos by experts such as Jackson Galaxy, The Cat Lady Fitness with exception to a few minor extras: feeding them on each side of the door, placing a sheet over the cage and slowly raising it each day rather than full exposure and playing with them seperately when they join the same room. 2) I love all the "catification"--what Jackson Galaxy calls cat furniture, scratchers, food and toilet resources and toys. This family is educated and committed! EXCELLENT WORK! I can't wait for Part 2 ❤

I rescued 2 kittens too near a river. It took them about 2 weeks to get used to being around me . I decided to introduce them to my female cat.

I remember my siblings and I had an adult female ginger cat. We then got a tuxedo kitten and we were determined to make them get along. Well, it took some time. The older cat was very jealous of the kitten, often growling when it got too close. But, she never tried to attack the kitten. My siblings and I put them in a box together and monitored their behaviour. We did this a few times, fed them their food together and eventually, the adult cat stopped growling at the kitten and their relationship got better. The kitten began to see the older cat as his mom because he started suckling from her. Well, life happened and we had to give them away. It's been years.
