Introducing a New Kitten?

There are many posts on this site that deal with blending a new cat. What I do is keep a new cat in his own room for a couple of days. They will sniff under the door. When I let the newbie out, I expect a lot of fussing, hissing growling etc. I keep a squirt bottle of water handy for true aggression (the kind that gets Vet bills). The new cat will eat and sleep in his room for a couple of weeks. This seems to lower the stress level. He already has his own territory.

Expect it to take a couple of months before all the territory issues are worked out. I have never had a new cat that didnt eventually fit it, even if it was just to ignore one another. And I think no matter what the relationship, the cats really benefit from the company. The only failure I had was a Bengal mix that was so aggressive I had to find him a home with no other cats. Persians dont do that. Good luck to you all. Dont miss the other posts on this site.
