Default Getting our two cats to accept eachother - Moving in a new cat

Gail wrote:
The new cat should be placed in a separate room by
herself. Provide her with litter box, food, water, and a
bed. Place the cat carrier in the center of another room
and let the resident cat sniff it. After a few days, lock
up the resident cat and let the newcomber smell and roam
around the house by herself. Place the new cat back in
the room. Gradually open the door a little bit and let
them smell each other through the door. If possible, you
can place a screen up and let them see each other without
touching. Gradually expose them to each other. Always
supervise them. You can use Feliway dispenser to decrease
anxiety. When they are fully integrated, you need at
least two litter boxes (the rule is the number of cats
plus one), mutiple food dishes, and multiple water
dishes. Gail



That sound like excellent advice! Thank yu so much for taking the time to
read and reply :-)

I will come back and tell the outcome, this will be in a few months time :-)
