Cat behavior reminds me of New Yorkers lol

When we got our male kitten in October we were concerned about how well our 8 year old female would accept another cat in the house. We kept them separated for about 2 days. To our surprise, while our female didn't particularly like the idea right away, she was never hostile towards the little kitty. She'd hiss at him if he got too close to her, but that was it. Within 3 days we felt comfortable leaving them alone when we went to work. The distance between the two of them before she'd start hissing gradually decreased. Within two weeks they were playing together. We're on our third generation of cats right now and never had any serious problems acclimating new cats to the residents. Perhaps we've been exceptionally lucky, but we've never had any of the problems discussed here.

I got lucky, My resident cat is a female named Shady, and she's a hisser and a crabby girl. My new cat Sonny is a male so nice, not a fighter but a lover. I followed most of the steps show on this video, and its been 2 weeks and the introduction was perfect, they are now sleeping in same room, eating next to eachother, playing with eachother. Match from God, im very happy, cause the first couple of days were rough, my resident cat went nuts over the sent and was hissin and went directly under the bed, it was like that for a week, then slowly with continued work, the intro went smooth and everything has been going great. Im surprised how well it went.

All that effort and in the end the cats had to be medicated.

when i got my 2nd and 3rd cat i kind of just threw them together. they got along within a very quick time,i think im the 1 out of a million cat owners that got lucky. but i wouldnt recommend that to anyone

I just got a kitten two days ago, with two resident cats. I will never do this again.😂😂😂I love them all, but no. This is too much tension.

Thanks for the info in simple steps. Hopefully all goes well w my cat & the rescue kitty we're getting soon. Neighbors have rescue kitty til we can get her checkup and shots & I've started introducing their smells to each other & gave them the food & litter box/ litter that we'll be using here to help acclimate her & make it easier on her foster parents. Heck, I gave them most of that stuff before we decided we wanted her. :-) She deserves it & a great home.

this is one of the ultimately most educational videos ive ever watched in my life. wow, just wow.

I'm going thru this now. So frustrating. First night my resident cats snuck into the safe room and traumatized the new cat. He's awesome when he's in the safe room with just us. When we room swap he's usually cautious and curious, but will view me more as a threat than when I'm with him in the room. So far he's still defensive when he hears or sees the resident cats. It's only been 3 days so I'm hoping things improve. I hope the first interaction didn't ruin things.

the problem is when you only have one bedroom apt it is really hard b/c the resident cat doesn't like not having full access and knows that someone is in that other room; and the resident cat will be unlikely to tolerate being locked in a room!

EXCELLENT VIDEO! I was looking after a stray outside for 2 weeks (I have a heated outbuilding) and was going to try this method. The cat rescue agency, Humane Society and my Vet all recommended the exact same steps as you, but it is so much more helpful to see it in action. I was also prepared to have the new cat rehomed if my indoor girl didn't accept him. Fortunately, we found his owners 2 days before the introduction. ❤⚠️⚠️ Tip to all cat owners: Get your kitty MICROCHIPPED! The first thing I did when the stray started hanging around outside was to take him to my vet to be scanned for a microchip (it's free). He didn't have one and it took 2 weeks of work between myself and 2 agencies to find his owners.

Day 3: our 5 year old male cat absolutely hates the new 10 week old female kitten. I think we might have rushed the introduction and cause a bad first impression. We'll go over these steps and hope for the best. If not, we'll have to take her back to the shelter. Please wish us luck. Day 5: We keep the kitten in a separate room and don't let her roam around the house. The big cat sometimes comes over to her door and by using a door stop, we let him see her and watch her. At first he hissed and growled a lot but now he just sits down and watches her without making aggressive noises. He stays for 10 minutes and gets bored and leaves. He is more comfortable with using his litter box today. At first he would either not use it at all or use it every ten minutes (which i am guessing is because of stress). No signs of stress is shown at this point. But we still have a long way to go.

Ive had one cat I think I did it too rushed but he NEVER liked any cats ..he "tolerated" them. To this day I discipline him when he gets too aggressive and over the years he has softened quite a bit. I just give him and my other cat LOADS of attn and love regardless.

The long haired cat is beautiful

Them: Day 2, everythings fine, everyone loves each other My cat situation: Day 2, cat lies under my bed and hasn't moved for 20 hours Update (7 months later): The older cat has died due to a metal stick through her chest but the (then) new cat is great and has grown soo much and I love her a little bit too much for a cat this is not a healthy relationship AND we've got a new second cat from the shelter and both are having fun together and it's a joy to watch them discover the garden because they've never been outside before and it's wonderful, both are incredibly sweet I couldn't wish for any better cats Thx for 20 likes btw

I did this exercise 15 years ago with my one year old male. I adopted a 7 month old female. They were separated about a week before they were introduced together in the home. It worked pretty well as there was very little aggression. Unfortunately my male should have been in a one cat household. He never fully accepted my female. They tolerated one another. My male just died and I am considering bringing a new cat into the household. My Vet has given me some good advice. He suggested I might want to foster a cat to be sure they get along before fully adopting.

Currently trying to make my 4 cats to get along. I was living in the city with my two females cats and brought them to my parents house since I will be here for two months, they have 2 male cats and this is the second time they see each other. While two of them are chill and friendly the other two hiss whenever they see each other, the male cats keeps trying to mate but both my female cats are neutered lol...

What if the resident cat refuses to approach the cats door regardless of anything you do

The crate technique is terrifying for cats. The cat in the crate feels trapped and will associate each other with fear.

so how long as in days should pre-introduction and visual introduction take..days?...weeks?

What if my cats have lived together for 2 or 3 years and still don't get along? I've had Cassidy basically since she was weaned, Scout I got from a friend. They're both territorial now. In fact one lives under the bed and the new cat challenges the other one to come out. The only time my original cat (Cassidy) comes out from under the bed is when I'm sitting close to her feeding and watering bowls and she feels Scout (the new cat) isn't a reasonable threat. Scout sees this as her home (territory) now as well. I hate this situation. I know Cassidy does. Do I give one or the other cat away? Or is it not too late to fix the situation? They do fight, allot of times under my bed. Cassidy has resorted to use the bathroom under my bed as well, but Scout uses the litter box no matter how dirty it is. This is another thing I'd love to fix. Cassidy using the litter box just like Scout. Thanks for any advice you can offer! I'm quite familiar with the "STARE DOWN" now. Lol.

At my house, 'we' are going through the pocess of having two sets of cats getting to know and ajusted to each other.

They already seen each other, smelled each other, and fought through windows. So what should I do when I bring the new cat home? I was really thinking to let them solve their differences and maybe eventually end up tolerating each other..?

I'm having to go through this with my bonded pair of litter-mates after the Tom got out for the night. For whatever reason, when he came home in the morning his sister wouldn't have anything to do with him. 😔

Habe noch nie ein solches Video gesehen. Mich wundert, dass die Katzen sich nicht gegenseitig verletzt haben.

Even though we did the intro here with our older resident alpha cat and the new young one there were still issues. The young dude I guess STILL didn't get it so to speak. The older one, Fluff was patient enough but finally he explained the rules-that FLUFF rules and there was a fight. Kind of like a big rolling ball of cats. They broke apart and Fluff STILL didn't get the look he wanted so round 2. After the dust settled and I separated them for a while all was fine! They even began to snuggle together. Cats don't always follow the videos!

LOL love your description. "Fluff still didnt get the look he wanted so round 2". Priceless

all that effort and she end up finding the cat a new home xD

Not everyone has a spare room for the new cat. I live in a small apartment with only one bedroom.

Way more complicated than it needs to be

This is alot of help. I HOPE AND WISH THIS WORKS! XD

Best video

Good Video. We get a 12 weeks old kitten about a week ago. We have a 1 year old cat at home. We made the mistake of introducing them right away unfortunately. What should i do ? Still do all the steps? Would appreciate an answer

My gosh i almost got another cat i wanted to give all my love to another kitty i have my cat for 3 weeks only i think i was rushing a bit im going to hold on ..i just want to give every pet a loving home full of care and love....

Love it +1

"Not all cats can learn to live together peaceably." Don't they know it's 2019?

OMG the cat looks like my mom!

So what if I made the mistake of letting them make eye contact and my first cat freaked? Can I start over?

This is like Alabama/Auburn.

The way she pets the cat annoys me in some unexplainable way lol

Rikka Chan That's because cats build up this inside "energy" when you pet them. You can see that in their tails.

Rikka Chan I thought you learn this stuff before you even get your cat :o Some people are really irresponsible.

What can I do if I already made rushed introductions and my new cat tries to attack my older cat?

We just adopted a rescue,11 year old kitty and brought her home. We have a 20 year old kitty since a kitten. Both Calicos, spayed and declawed. We didn’t go to all the hassle of keeping newcomer separate because our 20 year old isn’t very active, can’t see or hear well, but smell is acute. It has been three weeks now. In the beginning 20 year old knew the other was here but no reaction. Newcomer hisses when around old timer...no attacks, no biting. New kitty ran away. 20 year old knows other kitty here, retreats to upstairs bedroom ( water, food and litter box up there). We really want them to eventually get along..any other suggestions you could offer?

Last time I got new cat , I went to the vet and asked them to do this for me , I kept the 2 cats with them for a week ( I was travelling out of country) , when I came back , they are friends and love each other , I don't know what they did in the vet , but it worked , yes we paid for that but it is easier than doing all of this

Your vet kept the cats overnight for no reason?

My sister is getting a new apartment and she invited me to live with her and we both have cats. So both cats have a new home. Do I do the same things like the video?

My cat did a huge diarrhoea shits in the new cats bowl, it filled the whole bowl

So do you think it a still work if there is a Lil gap under my door and the cats have semi seen each other. I have tried to hide it but the new cat keep pulling everything I put right there away so you'll see a paw or they have both hunched down and tries to get visual. I have heard the hissing and growling from my resident and twice there has been an attack attempt through the Lil gap. Is it worth it? We got the new cat Dec. 10th

I have a problem because I have a dog too.. so I can’t swap the rooms.. and the resident cat is an indoor outdoor cat so I can’t block her in one room because she’d have no place to relieve herself. Doesn’t use litter boxes.. the dog occupies downstairs with my resident cat. But upstairs has limited rooms and only one closed door.. May try the towel thing though

I need help! I live in a small room. Actually I rent a room in a friend's house... The owners of this place doesn't like the presence of my cat, so as a I respect the rules, I don't allow my cat to wall the house without me. I've rescued a kitten yesterday and I was trying to make the introduction, but it's not working at all.. It looks like my older cat hates the new kitten. I've just placed the kitten in a transport box, but the bad environment stills reining. The worst part of letting the small one closed in the box is that she yells very hight... She stills meowing loud and people have been pissed off because of her. =( Do I have to give the kitten away? Please help me. Thanks.

Yes you have no room for yourself never mind two cats... You rent one room in a mates house who don't even like your cat and you bring home another one... I know you wanted to save the cats but you do not have room a cat does not neither cat deserves to be in one small room all the time with another cat they don't like...

Caca Murtagh exactly right

I have a one year old cat and I just got a 5week old kitten. The adult cat is curious.. I currently keep them in separate rooms but switch the rooms so they can get used to the cat aroma scent. Hope they can get used to it & get along. I won't give away any of my cats

Wow! Pre-Corona "social distancing" at 5:46.

Hmm...Both cats look pissed off at the whole thing. Maybe you should do a follow-up video showing just how you managed to fuck this up so badly.

This would have been impossible for me. My two cats were from the same litter so they knew each other more than they knew me when I adopted them. They still don't get along!

They must have had an abusive mother pitting them against each other instead of showering both with love lol

i don't even own a single cat, let alone two.
