Okay we have had Roxy since October and Monkey for 3 years. We have been slowly letting the 2 get to know eachother but have yet to actually let them just be with eachother. We do let them be together on the bed or couch for a few minutes untill one of them starts to atack the other. Ususally its Roxy attacking Monkey and causing Monkey to hide.
The problem is we decided to move and found a place very fast. We found it on Sunday and have most of our stuff over there already. The new place is great except it does not have anyway for us to keep the cats seperated. The only doors are on the bathrooms and both baths are very small, definately not big enough for a kitty to spend more than an hour or two at a time in. So we have to just let them meet and work out any issues right away.
I already know they will be stressed out from the move and then having to just meet may be too much for them. We do have an upstairs so I thought I could let one out upstairs and one out downstairs and let them find eachother on their own. Would this work. The one plus side is no one will have a territory established yet so I hope we should not have a problem with that.
My other idea was to just put them together now while packing and let them get to know eachother more before we move. I just don't know what to do and its starting to stress me out.
Help!!!!!!
