This is an excellent tool to help introduce cats to one another! Pattern games are a simple set of exercises that provide a predictable and secure structure for animals in order to help them normalize changes in their environment (potential “triggers” for reactive cats).

Pattern games were created by Leslie McDevitt for use with reactive dogs, there is nothing stopping us for using these tools with our cats!
