How to Introduce Two Cats Safely
Introducing Cats the Right Way
Introducing cats too quickly is one of the most common causes of long-term inter-cat conflict.
Basic introduction steps
- Begin with complete separation
- Allow scent exchange between spaces
- Gradually introduce visual contact
- Keep early interactions brief and positive
Common mistakes
- rushing the process
- forcing cats to interact
- removing escape options
When behaviour support helps
If introductions have already gone wrong and cats are fighting or avoiding each other, behaviour support can help rebuild positive associations.
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you're feeling confused, overwhelmed, or unsure whether behaviour support is the right fit, you're welcome to reach out and describe what's going on.
