Hello Everyone!
I am a relatively new fur mama (adopted my first little fella back in August, second in October) and this was the first time that I have ever owned more than one cat a time!
Naturally I was overwhelmed and very nervous about the integration process and was expecting disaster at every turn. There were many times I overreacted and thought my kitties hated each other and it was all going to be a disaster! But every time I thought that, I came to these forums and poured over the numerous integration, play/fight, and cat body language forums and listened to everyone's words of wisdom and just tried to relax and let the kitties take their course! It only took around 3 - 4 weeks for my little boys to be integrated fully and they love keeping each other company!
This place helped me and my kitties *immensely* just by its existance and by the forum members' willingness to help and give feedback/reassurance! I owe it all to you guys!
Keep doing what you all are doing!
(I'll also toss in pictures of my boys Luke (dark and handsome) and Han (ginger gentlemen) since over the posts I have noticed that everyone loves seeing pictures!)
