I supposed this is just another thread on introduction. I have done the research and aware of the method but my question is how do I know my resident is ready for the intro?
Pasha is almost 3, he's Turkish and deaf. I've had him for 6 months now and we are in a good place so I decided to add a new cat to play with him especially that I work late and he's home alone close to 10 hrs a day
The new cat is 1, he's shirazi and comes from a multiple cats home
My pasha was in his previous home introduced to a resident cat and it didn't go well at all. And so the parent had to give him up but this time he's the resident so I'm hoping it's different for him.
I've done the sanctuary room, the scent swap and the room swap over the past 3 days now.
Now that the new cat has been out and seen the larger picture he's meowing from his sanctuary and sticking his paws through the small door opening.
My resident cat is camping by the door most of the time during the day in either Egyptian position or sitting tall on his legs and starring at the door.
how will i know when he is ready? He's always guarded even in his sleep he now has to always sleep facing the direction of the room. It's stressful for the 3 of us I'd say
The new cat opened the door yesterday and there was a short confrontation before I locked the door.
Has anyone advise what's my next best move? Continue swap and sanctuary??
