'Cat, food' made me laugh! Good luck with that, flea... I'm on my phone, on the train, after paying a stupid tax -- I had this voucher to use for part of th ticket, but that almost made up for the difference between the advance and last-minute fares. Eh.

Oops.

Cute kitty!

Avon Meowsdale is an awesome name.

Heh. Snoop Kitty Cat.

Oh, der, I just got that.

flea I've had to introduce 2 kittens (my own) to another cat (Mom's). It kinda helped that Mom's was indoor/outdoor, so when her cat was outside we let mine roam around the house.

But what we did was keep my cats confined to a room for most of the time. Then for the first week let them roam around when her cat wasn't around. (You could probably do this by closing your cat in a room). And then we did some gradual introductions by letting one of mine out and letting Mom's cat in and watching them closely.

We didn't try to force them to get too close to each other and we limited the time.

Once they were doing okay together we'd still separate them when we had to be out of the house for a long period of time.

Just in case.

flea, the things that worked for us when we introduced the boykitties into the house with Trinian were keeping the boys separate and integrating them slowly, those Feliway diffusers, and Rescue Remedy drops to put in the water dishes.

Of course, Trinian is so dim that even now, 5 years later, she seems to forget there are other cats in the house, then freaks out when she sees one of the boys.

Hell, my cats do that at least once a day.

I kept Clio and Oz sepreate for almost a week (because OZ was flipping the fuck out.) Then I had a day where I left Oz sniff around the main floor where Clio was and vice versa, and introduced them.

Avon Meowsdale.

You guys have the best cat names.

Hey, hivemind, what was the hinkiness with Prudential paying survivor benefits with in house checking accounts? I remember something in the news but not the details.
