I frequently visit my family a few hours away from me. I always take my cat with me and we usually stay the weekend. She does fine in the car, and loves visiting there.
My family recently took in a stray cat they found outside. They aren't sure on their plans to keep it. They had it checked for a microchip and it did not have one. They also had it checked for fiv, which was negative.
Is it possible for me to still take my cat there with me? I know I'll have to carefully introduce them, as my cat too was a stray, so there maybe hostility, or marking of territory.
Assuming it does go okay, and they are fine with each other, is it fine to have the cats with each other for one weekend, and then not for the next weekend?
I'm not sure if the cats will have a strong enough social bond that it could cause stress or behavioral problems if they are with each other 3 days every 2 weeks or so.
Any advice would be great!
Thank you!
