This introduction required multiple consults over the course of one year, a move, medications, training, foraging, diet plans, parallel play sessions, you name it! This family was dedicated to making things work. Cats need TIME, and this story illustrates how very worthwhile it can be to put in all of that hard work. Kudos to this family, humans and cats alike!
Totally friends now!
Choosing to sleep this closely together is HUGE in "cat speak".
My original cat Squeak refused to accept my new cat Zachary, and the two were fighting and hurting each other. With Ingrid's invaluable advice (and a lot of patience) we now have two "brothers from another mother." I can't tell you how grateful we are for Ingrid's exceptional knowledge of cat behavior, practical attitude, and her devotion to their well-being.
