    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Yes, Cilla was walking away slowly, as not to be prey. Sherry-Spice is still reluctant when there is only 1 gate up. Sherry Spice is getting better in the common area. But she has one chair she likes to go under (not in fear, more a safe place to sleep). I've tried blocking but she figured her...

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Sherry Spice when she is in the common area, her tail is up, usually in a question mark (but always seems to be a question mark). She walks very tall and happy. She doesn't seem afraid before coming out into the common area, per say, but I would say cautious and waiting for me to tell her it's...

    Thank you for that. I've tried everything from chicken thighs to sardines... but I'll try what you have advised.

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Maybe I need to explain more, Sherry-Spice has been going into the common area, since I've had her. Sometimes, I feel she is a bit uncomfortable, because she is always VERY close to me. I take that as a bit insecure still. Sometimes she plays endlessly in the common area, sometimes not. But I do...

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Sherry-Spice, in general, has not shown any aggression. Once or twice a growl, but in general-- no. I would say more cautious than anything, she doesn't completely hide. At times they are nose to nose at the gates, no aggression on either side. At times Sherry-Spice is reluctant and will peak...

    Glad you are back. I hope all is well. I'm feeling mixed messages from Cilla, she reaches in the gate slow and doesn't seem aggressive, but her tail is fat. This morning she reached in and touched Sherry-Spice while she was eating. Cilla reached in very slowly, but her tail was "half fat" (if...

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Cilla has been laying on her side reaching under the gate (gently) but her tail is fat. Sherry-Spice is within a foot of the gate. What do you think Cilla is saying? Sherry-Spice just sat and looked. However, at times, Sherry-Spice does growl. (maybe better than running and hiding?)

    Sorry to say I don't not have "information" in my profile. I do have conversations and alerts - the threads are not there. Why don't I get email notifications anymore either?

    Yes, why are all these missing now? And how can I keep this thread. I refer back to them as I am still struggling to get my kitties introduced. Also, I used to get emails notifying of replies. I no longer get those. I have the email notifications marked in my profile.

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    I've been doing the same every day with 1 gate and playing with Sherry-Spice. I'm now seeing that Sherry-Spice will sit on her condo with her back to Cilla. I am starting to see Cilla look away on occasion. I've also discovered that squishing a "scrunchy ball" makes enough noise to distract...

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Cilla watched me play with Sherry Spice. Just watched, I did not see anything that appeared to be anxious or aggressive. When Cilla calls for Sherry Spice, it's a different voice that I've heard when she was looking for the other cats that were here. So I'm pretty certain it's just that a...

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Another good day... They were each about 2 inches from the gates on either side. I was about 5 feet away. One quick growl from Sherry Spice, until I told her it was ok. Then she stopped. No fat tails on either....

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Cilla is tough because she is not distracted by much and I can't get too close to her. Food isn't much a distraction. I've never been able to do that, I've tried everything I can think of. Chicken thigh, yummies, tuna, even people tuna. I'm thinking about a "clicker". It might be enough to...

    I NEED HELP WITH INTRODUCTIONS

    Just a quick update. Sherry-Spice and Cilla have spent a few minutes with just one gate up, in my presence, so they can see each other without looking through just the holes in the gates. They have been about a foot on each side of the gate and just looking at each other. Sherry-Spice seems to...
