I'm one of the new guys. I sought this site to help with common problem. Introducing a new cat. The twist is that my indoor only cat, Sasha, is a classic feral. Brought into my home at about 10 wks of age. The cat to be introduced (maybe) is a very sweet but extremely shy stray. A very beautiful black and fishbone gray mackeral tabby. I've been feeding the stray for two weeks and it (have not determined sex yet) has over that period become slightly more trusting. It will come close for food but retreats with any move ment I make. I gained this small step forward after applying methods gleaned from this site. This cat comes to the screen door to meet my Sasha with very amiable posturing and vocalizations. My Sasha seems to hate it. He postures an attack stance and howls seemingly bitterly. I understand that Sasha is defending his territory. I wonder however that due to the fact that Sasha is feral could an introduction be possible.
Sasha is a wonderful companion with absolutely no bad behavior issues whatsoever. I am afraid I could create behavior trouble if I persue this introduction
