Hello friends, thanks for checking out our video! In case you haven't read the description, this cat introduction didn't happen right after they were brought home. It took us a few days to have them smell each other in separate rooms. Nonetheless, when they finally met, our early resident (the orange kitty, Hugh G) still felt invaded and started the yelling contest. But everything turned out fine because we kept them at a safe distance and monitored every move they made to stop the possible fighting before it happened. Now they are the best buddies in the world :D ! If you are having difficulties introducing your cats, it's best to learn how to do it the right way from other detailed how-to videos.

@@farzana3233 Overall about 2-3 weeks. After the introduction, they got sick, while being weak together, they started grooming each other. But because one of them was a lot sicker, so we kept them in different rooms for a few days. The other one started meowing and looking for him. After a week or so they got better and could see each other again. Sine then they've become real buddies.

Well I have to return the adopted cat I got. The APL where I am gives 30 days and you can return the pet ( and it will not count as surrender unless it’s past 30 days ). I thought maybe it would not take that long and boy was I wrong. I have a 15 year old resident cat so I adopted an 8 year old thinking he is a lot older. Maybe it will go ok since everything I was reading about do not get kitten with a senior bc kitten to hyper etc. I did the room swap. Blanket swap. Screen up. Every single time the 8 year old is the one attacking the screen to get to her . I tried slowly letting them get closer in the same room and both times the 8 year old went running and growling and wanting to beat the 15 year old up. It’s been 3 weeks and I’m back to room and blanket swap. However , I have ti work in another state for 3 months and I just can’t take two cats with me fighting like crazy when my job is stressful enough for me and the move for the 15 year old will be enough. I def think you need a lot if time and maybe more time with older cats. I don’t think I will ever do the cat introduction thing again. Much easier if you adopt two that are in same cage or just one. I learned my lesson on this one. My sis said it took 8 months for her cats to tolerate each other after introducing.

For anyone watching this who is thinking of doing a cat introduction soon, this is pretty much the worst way possible to do this. Letting two cats straight into the same room to yowl and hiss at each other is a terrible idea. Letting one cat run up and ambush another that is using the litter tray is possibly the worst thing you could do (worst case scenario it scares the cat and it starts going outside the litter). Definitely take it slow, let cats smell each other through a closed door, feed them on either side of that door. It can take weeks to gently introduce them.
@hughgandblueguy2 жыл бұрын
Haha you are right about what you said, but what you said is totally not the case in this video. They were not let straight into the same room, they had been separated into different rooms and they had been smelling each other for over a week (if I remember it correctly it was over a week, it's been two years). The one that was "using the litter tray" was not using it... he was poking into the other one's room and found a litter tray and decided to do a further inspection. The orange kitty remains to be bullying, extremely vocal and territorial, but that seems to be the traits of street cat and orange&white cat to be specific. But he is also abnormally smart and loving. Now he loves the other cat so so much, whom he hissed at and yelled at at first. Sometimes we just need to understand that every cat is different and things can go wrong when they are being introduced even if you do everything right. But in general, I agree with you in your comment when introducing cats. But just to clarify, it was not the case in our introduction. :)
