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
