I don't know what to do. Maybe we're rushing, but I can't even remember it taking this long before.
We've had a new cat isolated for two weeks, started room swap and all. The vet told us my husband could probably start introducing them, so my husband did. It did NOT go well. She was ok with one of our cats, but somehow got under the bed with another and it ended in blood. I am devastated and am starting to think we need to give her back to the rescue, because I feel so terrible for the cat she hurt. He wants to make her an outdoor cat or keep her locked in a room the rest of her life. I am physically sick over all this.
She was in a foster home with other cats and was fine, so I can't understand this. Are we just going too fast?

Some cats, even if they're good with other cats, take quite awhile to adjust. When we brought Wendel home, Sybil accepted him like he's always been here on the first day...Freya...well, she's warmed up to him a little, ten months later.
