depressed.. need inspiring stories about successfully introducing new cat
i believe i have failed at introducing my new cat arwen into the
household (has one existing cat). too depressed to give the details now but i'm starting all over again as of today. would like to check if any of you have posted long, detailed success stories about introducing a new cat to a one-cat household, something like a day by day diary, OR if you know of a site that has such detailed guides. i have read articles about inroducing cats but they are generally brief and i believe i followed the instructions properly (vanilla, rubbing with towl, keeping apart, short supervised visits, etc). i now am going to start all over again, having done more research, and adding feliway (which i didn't have before), but am hoping for inspiring stories to read and encourage me as i start from the beginning again. if you've posted your story before, could you please post the name of your cat so i can look it up in google groups? thanks.. |

I am one who tried very hard and didn't make it. I know a few here will be
annoyed at me 'coming out'; but the truth is, sometimes it isn't worth trying. However, I did find a great 'substitute' cat-family to adopt the subjects in mind, and everyone is HAPPY) After all, it is the cat's well-being, not our attitudes that matter.

I wrote a fairly lengthy description introducing Duffy to Holly. It might include information that would help you. Let me know if you would like me to send it to you via e-mail.

"MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ... I decided to send the document I mentioned before I leave for work. I used the e-mail address posted with your message. However, my message bounced back with a "delivery failed" message. I will be happy to send it again after I return home this evening if you will send a valid address to me. My address linked to this message is valid except that you will need to *take-out-the-litter* first. MaryL |

"MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ... Once again, I should have read more carefully. The "message failure" I received says that my document is too long for your box or your box is too full. I suspect it is the latter because I have mailed this same document to other hotmail users. Please send e-mail telling me how you would like to receive the document (if you want it). I'll check back this evening. Above all, don't give up on your kitty. You simply need to commit time and patience and work through this slowly. I can see a real sense of companionship between my two furbabies now. MaryL |
