Cats who meet.

[Nr1Humanoid]

For the first time since I got my cat my sister will live close to me. And I want to introduce my neutered female to her 3 neutered females. One of which is my cat's sister, though they haven't seen each other for 6 years.

My cat has some bad experience with the cats on my street through fights. She has one friend who is also a victim of the same cats so mine is capable of liking other cats.

But I understand I can't just let her loose in a house with three other cats and will have to introduce them in stages, but I'm at a loss as to how.

Any cat owners here who has gone through this and can give some advice?

For one thing it will save my cat any more plane flights.

I worked at a shelter for five years and did a great deal of fostering. I don’t care what cesar millan or my cat from hell guy says. Show your cat where the food is and where the little box is, and go on your way. Animals pick up on our behavior so if it seems like we’re stressed about trying them in a new environment they will be to. Cats are very chill, even if there’s some hissing or smacks at first they will be laying together in an hour. Only if it’s a total freak out do you have to start over and take it slowly.

Take a rag and rub it against your cats whiskers and the base of their tail, then give it to your sister so her cat can become familiar with the scent, and have her do the same for you.

When it’s time for them to meet I would keep them separated by a closed door. They’ll prolly hiss at each other for abit but after a couple hours they should calm down.
