HI Abbie,

I have written an article on how to introduce a new cat to your resident cat. Follow the steps here and you should have things go as smotth as possible. Remember it tales time for cats to get used to changes!

Expertise

I can answer questions on: cat nutrition and diet, behavior, behavior problems, training, general health, socialization/taming feral cats, TVAR, trapping feral cats, feline nutrition, and cat care. My favorite questions are on the topic of nutrition and I have special experience with hyperthyroidism in cats. Please do NOT ask me if you should take your cat to the vet - if you have any reason to suspect your cat is ill or injured please call your vet immediately!
