Thank you for sharing the information. I recently adopted a playful 1 year old male and have a 14 year senior female I have had for years and I am getting off to a dificult start. I had another female cat she lived with for years before she passed 2 years ago so I though she would be easy to get her on board with a new cat but it has been a challenge so far. I am keeping them seperate and feeding them on the opposite side of the door at the same time but trying to figure out how to get the older female on board. When she does see him she hisses at him. I has been just 2 days and I want to make it work. Seeing your video tells my it is not an ideal situation but I want to still figure this out so everyone is happy.
Hello I hope you see this. Trying your method and everything is seeming to work out for the most part. I was wondering if you have any tips if the resident cat isn’t focusing on toys when trying the play/distract method, but focusing on the new cat?
What if I am introducing a Mature spayed female (8 years old) to a Senior spayed female (12 years old)?
Yes! I'm introducing my daughter's 1yr old cat to my 6 yr old cat. Both male. My daughter's cat wasn't raised with kittens and is a little timid around my cat. Been 4 days. Some play together. My cat hisses, but no more growling.
Our newly adopted 2 year old female cat always goes on hunt my existing two year old male cat and a 8 year old male cat until I separate the female cat in a room from the other two male cats. The female cat was found on a street and was behaving much oppressively by going after my male cats for scratching and biting even my male cats tried hard to avoid her. She is always friendly with me and so lovely but I worry that my male cats will get tramau if i continue to push for an introduction as she always gows after them no matter what. What shouod I do.
Thank you so much for making this video, you don't know how much you're helping me out. I failed the traditional method and had to start from 0 again. But then I fell ill and had to have them in the same room (because I cant leave the kitten for too long lest he feels neglected). With the little energy I had, I decided to use the principles you explained here. watched over them, separating when necessary and made sure everyone took things slowly. It's only day 5 but they're already eating next to each other, meaning that they are already willing to share resources which in my book is a great progress. Will continue to watch over them for at least 2 days more!
This video didn't help.
I am doing my best introducing my 2 yr old female cat to the new 3 month old female kitten. I have the kitten in a spare bedroom. Her food, water, litter box, toys and bed are in there. I put a piece of plexiglass infront of the door. Both cats can see each other and I feel better knowing each are safe. I have put the older cat in another part of the house and let the kitten roam the house for a bit – putting her scent around. On day 7 I let them be in the same area together. It went well, minimal hissing from older cat. I did this 3 times that day for about 10 minutes each time. I did this again the next day. This morning I had them in the same area and I saw and heard the older cat hiss and growl at the kitten. I quickly tried diverting their attention to toys. I am terrified that if I let them stay in the same area together – someone will get hurt. I've had the older cat for a little over a year. I rescued her from the shelter when she was 11 months old. She was in a room full of other cats, so I thought she would do well with a playmate. Any advice from anyone would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
I had a question about the age-gap. I have a older cat of 14 that is still extremely playful, has the zoomies a lot and in general is pretty restless when it comes to breaking my appartement down. But also super cute and cuddly! My initial thought would be to get a kitten since they would probably vibe more compared to introducing a older cat that just wants to sleep most of the day. Is my decision for a kitten in this case a good idea?
My situation is unique. Previous best friends have become enemies after we changed house. They are litter mates even and still cant stand each other. Having to keep them separate otherwise the docile one is stuck under the bed or some other hiding spot all day and night. So I am having to give them separate areas for now but this cant go on forever. They are 11months old both of them. Any suggestion?
I don’t think there is a confirmation for gender-related behavior differences
Do you have to talk in robot bored voice? 👎
my 4 month old kitten is throwing a hissy fit about our new 1 month old. she growls and hisses, so we're trying to separate them for now before they get used to each other.
Well we have screwed up. We got a 1 year old cat and had 2 12 year olds. It's not going good with the young female and our older scaredy female cat.
My cat is the calmest most gentle loving cat ,i tried to introduce the new kitten to her she was very chill about it but the kitten went straight for the jugular
Hi, we have a 2-3 year old timid lady cat, she has grown up with another cat that sadly died. Can we best take one kitten, or two at the same time? Will the two kittens just mostly play with eachother?
Really no shxx my 2 girls rag dolls and chinchilla can't stand each other the male ragdoll is terrified of their behaviour so he stays away on my bed not so easy to introduce adult cats to each other 😂
What cat breed is rosey ?
I have four cats, all female. Misha about a year old, the last one I adopted arrived about a month ago. I did not perform the no isolation method, always watching all of them. During the firsts weeks, no many hiccups on the early days, all worked fine, everyone arrived to eat when I poured food on their separate dishes, no problems with the litter box. But as time grew by, Schnell the youngest of the original cats, around three years old, became aggressive towards Misha. I had a two week trip planned and I hoped that my brother, who is my roommate, was able to take care of the bunch, his girlfriend ran into some serious responsibilities, leading to a minimum care for the cats. As I returned from the trip, I found that the relationship between Schnell and Misha worsened. I isolate Misha for a couple of days, but she keeps meowing. I have tried to be present with all of them trying to keep the environment tranquil. Aggressions have lowered by a bit, but what would you recommend in this situation. I have noticed that Misha marks territory and I believe that upsets Schnell?
You have 4 cats? While I couldn't get my 2 to get along 😭😭😭
We don't have the luxury of choosing which cat shows up on our doorstep. These hints are mostly for people who can choose their cats.
HELP: i’m working with a stray cat who is not ready to be inside 24/7 yet. He gets panicked. so he’s inside outside and his nails are long and sharp because he needs them outside. But I’m afraid that if he and my resident cat get into it, somebody will get seriously injured. I don’t know what to do. I can’t cut the nails until he is 100% indoors but also can’t risk harm to my other guy. advice?
My female cat is definitely more of a wrestler than a chaser. I hope she will get along with the male kitten that's coming.
Bruh I'm rescuing a cat from my sister's in laws who were about to put him in adoption and I have no idea what his brand of food is, his behavior, likes and dislikes, I'm just diving head first cause he needs me and from my cat community they say the cat chooses you when you adopt what do you mean look for a personality that matches my old cat, if one is lazy and the other active they are fine still happy cause one plays and the other relaxes
Unfortunately almost none of these applies to our situation. We have 2 boys that are about 8 years old. A local stray that’s probably about a year old has chosen us as his humans. We’ve just started the introduction process, we’ll probably have to do it the traditional way with the isolation.
We've adopted two 'babies', they turn 2 months today actually, and we have a 'senior' kitty, Lambeau, who is 16, so in 'cat years', yes, he's the 'get off my lawn' kitty… 😆 We get to pick up Ole & Ava tomorrow & bring them to their 'new forever home', so it'll be interesting to see how it goes. I did make over & 'kitty proof' the guest room, & set up their new beds in there so they'll have their own space when they need to get a little time apart & each they &/or Lambeau need a break. We fully plan to make sure Lambeau still gets his individual 'Mommy/Daddy & Lambeau time' so he knows he's not being replaced. Oh & like Lambeau, we plan to have Ole & Ava spayed/neutered when our vet suggests they're old enough.
Thank you for these tips! I had no idea that cats were neophilic!! Definitely learned some great things!
Our resident orange cat is 14 and we are introducing a 5 yrs old tuxedo. Oscar is the orange guy. Oscar will not go near the room where we have the new cat. Oscar even seems like he hates us.
Sir,
I just want you to know that Batman/Bane reference was not wasted.
Massively appreciated 👏😸
Thank you and best wishes.
i already ruined my cats introductions its been a few months already but the older cat hates and is terrified of the new one.. 2 male cats age like 1 and 3 .. am i hopeless?
Thank you for this video! Now i feel much more confident that i made the right choice to get another male kitten so they can wrestle! 😄 my resident cat is only 3 and still very playful so i think everything will be alright ❤
My female cat keeps attacking my new kitten 7 months old. I think she thinks he’s prey and is territorial. She even tries to fight Him through a screen. Do you have any advice?
I got my 8 week old cat about a week ago and just got my 6 month old cat but, the 8 week old keeps trying to attack the smaller cat
Could you share the treats used in this video?
Any tips are welcome
I have a a 1 year old female tabby and I just got a 8 week old ragdoll less than 24 hours ago my 1 year old is definitely curious with the kitten she will walk up to the kitten but when the kitten does any movement my older cat will hiss she is weird she doesn’t like the kitten to walk past her but will walk right up to the kitten and then hiss because she’s to close . She will also lay at a pretty close distance from the kitten but will hiss while laying there . Is this a good first step for almost a day in ? Any help is welcome .
Have two 10 month old moggy kittens and two 8 year old ragdoll cats, im struggling with introductions, can you give me any advice? I have 3 females and 1 boy
Help! 5 year old female resident cat being terrorized by 8 month old new cat. New cat was living with two others peacefully at foster home but came to our house and has gotten out twice and attacked resident cat. Throws herself at the door full body. Scratches under the door when she sees a shadow. Stakes out the door. Resident cat is terrified, hisses just being carried into the room new cat was in most recently. Do we think resident cat could ever accept new cat?
Lol this is a weird video! Six tips to introduce a new cat to your cat. Step one: throw away the cat you already have and get another cat with these specifications!!
Introducing my partners ~4y/o cat to my ~1.5y/o cat. Wish me luck
My boyfriend owns a year old maine coon who gets along with one of his parents dogs well and the other he is rather timid but no huge problems, he tries to play with his sisters female DSH but she does not like him at all. I am planning to move in with him, I have not one, or two but three DSH I fostered and adopted from the streets (none from the same litter) at a young age, they all have been together since 4 months and all groom and cuddle. My concern is trying to introduce these four. I have started with items with his scent and none of my cats have sprayed but instead lay on it and cuddle with them all the time lol. Do you have any suggestions? my babies are all 2-3 years old. two are boys one is a girl. I do not obviously want the three to gang up on my boyfriends cat as I would have no clue how to break that up. I also believe since all have been together at a fairly young age its easy to say they are bonded and rehoming is NOT in plan. I used to work in veterinary and getting these three to get along was a very easy process. I am worried that my boyfriend's maine coons' size may intimidate my cats and cause issues.
Great educational video and I've checked the other links too, however, I do have a question about how I move forward in my situation, which is slightly different. It's me and my cat, that will be the new kids on the block. I am taking over the lease of a tiny 2 room house and moving in with my 2yr old female rescue (with me since she was approx 10 wks). The elderly lady leaving, is unable to take her beloved, beautiful 2 yr old male rescue with her and I have said he can stay and live with us forever. (Both cats have be de-sexed). I have been visiting the house a couple of times a week, so he gets used to my smell and voice and I have taken over a blanket that smells of my female but he doesn't have anything I can bring back for her to smell. In May, we'll be sharing the house and I was wondering, following your guidelines, do I set up the activity room for my cat?
Okay I brought my cat from my moms to my boyfriends. My boyfriend’s cat grew up with another cat and is declawed (approximately 8 yrs) my cat was a stray for 3 years then grew up with 3 dogs she is not declawed and approximately 7-8 yrs. Literally just today I brought her home. They seem to be curious but overnight I let the new cat have range of the apartment and the resident cat is sleeping with us closed in our room. What do I do
Wow this wasnt helpful at all lol "chose your cat" listen, i never chose ANY of my cats, theyre all from the damn streets and im sure the majority of people are the same. 🙄🙄🙄
Oops adopted a 2 year old male and having a harder time introducing him to my 14-year old wallflower female
He wants to wrestle and play, she is NOT into it
I do hold out hope they will be friends eventually but it’s been about a month and he still kind of treats her like one of his cat toys and I only let them be together supervised by someone
Where did you get all of the cool cat items on the wall to lay down on?
Me who just rescued a 1 year old but has an 8 year old resident cat 🥲
Adopt, don’t shop.
We just got a new cat(1), but my parents decided to introduce him to my older cat (3) and dog (10). The cats can’t be around each other without hissing and growling and the new cat growls at my dog when he approaches. We just got him yesterday, and my parents insist on just ripping off the bandaid and letting them be around each other, but I’m not so sure. Any ideas?
I had a 17 year old with 2 5 year olds and my female and him got a long rather well, played and everything.
