I just brought home my wonderful new kitty from the Humane Society today...have him established in his own little room right now.
I had originally planned to follow the "keep apart, after a couple of days let old kitty smell new kitty's blanket..." etc., etc. plan that would have them meeting in about 3 weeks. However, new kitty has a mild upper respitory infection...a "kitty cold"...and is on meds for the next 2 weeks. Expect it to clear up nicely, but does that mean that everything has to be put on hold until he's better? I mean, that means no exchanging of smells since my other cat might get sick too, right? Please help!!!

Yep leave them all completely isolated until the new kitty is over his illness
