Cat Tips - Successful Pet Introductions |
Tips for successful pet introductions
- If one cat shows hostility toward another during the initial introductions, don't punish him; that action could backfire. Instead, start the whole process over again after separating the animals for a day or two.
- Respect each pet's territorial rights. If your older cat has claimed the living-room sofa as her favourite spot, allow her to keep that space as her own domain. Help your new kitten find a different spot she can call her own.
- Establish separate but equal relationships with each pet to prevent jealousy.
- If you have a dog, keep him on a leash at first, and monitor him closely.. In the beginning, don't let him chase or bother your new kitten, and don't make your kitten remain in the same room with the dog if she's uncomfortable or scared.
- Buy separate food and water bowls.
- Give each cat a separate litter box; this will help them resist the temptation to find a private privy in an inappropriate place.Labels: Cat Tips |
