Re: IMPORTANT: Read this before you bring a new kitten/cat home
Adila: What are the methods you have tried? Sometimes, just like humans, one cat may not get along with another cat. Personality clashes, so to speak.
Maneki Neko: I decided to post this after hearing of the cats that I personally know or have helped rehome fell to their deaths or escaped from their new homes and are now either wandering the streets as strays or are demised.
The points are just an amalgamation of what I found when I was doing my research in preparation prior to bringing Yin home. I'll add more later, on the points of how to integrate a new cat to existing cats. The lessons I learned were very useful in integrating Yin with us & Blackie.
Yin, for the first week, would hide in my wardrobe whenever I left the room. She only came out when I entered the room and called her. Now, she's comfortable in my entire home, although thunderstorms still send her scurrying into my wardrobe to hide.
