my friend asked me if we could take her cat. she's had it for about 6 years.
it was brought over 2 days ago, and i don't know how long i should wait to bring it out. it was a house cat before but that will be a problem because we already have a house cat, and our rule is only one house cat.. unless it stays in the basement. the problem is when my friend brought hershey (that's the cat) over, they told me he hates other cats and he would go crazy. within 15 minutes i found that out, and he goes crazy. he was incredibly scary, i couldn't touch him
what i want to know is what steps i should take to get him to get used to being outside and getting used to other cats. also i need to know when it is best when to show him his new environment and what to do when he starts hissing and growling and if he will stop.
i pretty much need to know how to handle a new cat, we've had cats on our farm for ages and this is a brand new step for us.
please help!
