The cat looks calm on the surface, but it is actually jealous. If it is not handled well, the old cat will feel that the scope of their forces is violated by the new cat, and then subconsciously exclude new cats, and even treat new cats with violence. 1. Smelling: After taking a new cat home, put it directly to the isolation place, do not stay more, come out immediately, close the door, and then follow the old cat to take the original home procedure to go home procedures. greet. Put the bag or cage of the new cat at home, instead of placing it directly in front of the old cat to observe the reaction of the old cat. 2, exchange isolation: If you touch the new cat, it is best to wash your hands before approaching the old cat. Even so, the old cat may still be confused because of your strange smell. After the new cat is familiar with the isolation area and establishes basic trust in you and your family, you can put it out for a short time every day to get familiar with the environment in other places at home. 3, preliminary contact: The restrictive contact with new cats and old cats. It can be across the glass door. When you see each other, you can't touch each other. You can also open a small seam of the door of the isolation area so that they can touch their noses and wave their claws, but they must not be exposed significantly. 4, formal meeting: Prior to meeting the new cat and old cat, cat parents should trim the cat's nails, which can reduce the degree of damage.

How to introduce the new cat to the original cat at home?
· Before the new cat enters the house:
This is an animal with strong domain consciousness. Generally, it is not very welcome to enter the house. Time adapt. Cats have different personalities, coupled with various environmental factors, this adaptation period may ranging from 4 to 12 weeks.
The most ideal new cats are age. The body shape is smaller than the old cat, the opposite sex, has not reached the sexual maturity period, or has already performed sterilization surgery, and the personality is similar to the old cat. However, in reality, such combinations are relatively small. You can estimate the length of the adaptation period based on the following factors and make sufficient psychological preparations —
Cats' origin: Stray cats are generally competitive, territorial desires Strong, courage to self -defense. Artificially feeding orphan cats are generally timid, and in this case, it takes a longer time to adapt.
The body shape: the new cat with a small body is less threatened to the old cat. The cats with long hair will look larger than the actual, so don't just look at the weight and look at the appearance.
Age: The lack of ability to make a correct reaction to the environment for the environment for the lack of reaction to the environment. Such a kitten cannot let him face another cat alone. It is best to stay with you at all times. The kitten from 12 to 6 months is exactly energetic. When the naughty is abnormal. For big cats, especially the older cats, they can be said to be very annoying. Cats from 6 months to 2 years old are still teenagers. Old cats should have sterilized surgery, and new cats should also do sterilization as soon as possible. Two sexual maturity and sterilization same -sex cats are difficult to get along. Cats over the age of 2 are completely adults. Generally, cats' character has been shaped at this time. The two cats of the two cats in this age are reacting to the outside world (timid or bold, and so on. Sleeping is not quiet for a moment, and it is easier to adapt to each other when it is similar. Cats over 8 years old even entered the old age. Regardless of whether he is a new cat or an old cat, it is easier to anxious and depressed in the process, so in this case, you must consider bringing new cats into home.
Gender: Cats without sexual maturity are rarely considered threats and are easily accepted. Cats after sterilization are weaker in competitiveness, territorial desires, and possessive desires, and they get along with them. Most of the two male cats with mature mature and underaotomy will constantly chase and fight, plus the urine rim sites outside.
· Essential for new cats before entering home:
1. Old cats must be immune. Before bringing new cats into home, it must be guaranteed that the old cat is immune and during the immune period. If you have decided to bring new cats into the house, and the old cat is not immune, you must bring the old cat to immune. The vaccine will take effect a week after immunity, and then you can consider picking up the new cat home. If the old cat is not immune, the new cat is not immune.

2, isolation
The new cat must be isolated. The requirements for isolation are: Old cats must not get in, which affects the original lifestyle of the old cat to the minimum degree. The isolated place can be a room at home (there must be a door that can be locked). If you do n’t have a separate room, or the old cat is used to sleeping with you in the bedroom, you can isolate on the sealed balcony or toilet (the same door). If only the toilet that can be selected in the bathroom is also in the bathroom, you can move his toilet to a new place. If possible, do this preparation work 1 to 2 weeks in advance. In short The more conducive to him adapt to the arrival of the new cat. If the above conditions are not available (to be honest, if I think there is no second door except the door, I should not add another cat), you can use a relatively large cage cover to cover the facilities for isolation facilities. But at this time, it is best to know that the new cat does not bring any disease.
The requirements for isolation are mainly there are no harmful things to cats. The place is not required to be large, but it is easy to adapt. There must be cat sand pots in the isolated place. There are nests that can be hid by cats, resting (not too complicated), and water. It is best to send it in regularly by the owner, and take it out after eating. Don't always put it inside. This helps new cats quickly establish the connection between the new owner and the food, as well as corresponding trust and feelings. After all preparations (material, psychological), you can take the new cat home. However, the process of adaptation has just begun:
The first step: After taking the new cat home, put him directly in the isolated place. Don't stay more, come out immediately, close the door. Then greet the old cat's original home procedure. Put the bag or cage installed with new cats at home (do not put directly in front of the old cat) to observe the reaction of the old cat. Some cats will be nervous, ha, even attacking cages (preparing for lasting war), some will roar, running away and running back (more typical), and some will be curious, very curious, very much Excited (optimistic). Pay attention to observation, until the old cat completely lost interest in the cage and then collect the cage. For more time with the old cat, do not go to see the new cat for the time being, he will take a certain time to adapt to the environment in the isolation range. After at least an hour, you can bring a little food to see the new cat. If this is the first time you have come into contact with this cat, don't force him to approach him, talk to him gently, and wait for him to approach you. Don't stay too long, 30 minutes to 1 hour enough. You can see him several times a day, about 1 hour. If you touch the new cat, it is best to wash your hands before approaching the old cat. Even so, the old cat may still be confused because you have a strange smell on you. Pay attention to observe how much time the old cat spent every day sitting outside the door of the isolated room, or smell there. Only when the old cat is equipped with a new cat, the smell of the new cat on your body and the door of the isolated area can not enter the second step.
In this step should pay attention to the old cat must be better. Play more with him, talk with him, and feed him some delicious people, petting him, and must make him feel that his status and your status in your heart are not threatened.
It the change in the first step is that after the new cat is familiar with the isolation area and establishes a basic trust in people, he can put him out for a short time every day to get him familiar with other places in the family at home. At this time, the old cat needs to be isolated, it is best not to isolate the new cat, it is best to accompany him to prevent him from being too nervous. Then send the new cat back to the isolation room, put the old cat out, and observe his behavior.
Step 2: Restricted contact.
The restrictive contact with new cats and old cats. It can be across the glass door. When you see each other, you can't touch each other. You can also open a small seam of the door of the isolation area so that they can touch their noses and wave their claws, but they must not be exposed significantly. If no one at home during the day, be sure to ensure that all settings can achieve restricted contact before going out, but there will be no aspects that can break through the obstacles. If there is a gap of the cat's claws under the door of the isolation area, then one or two steps will actually be carried out at the same time.
It this period if you go home and greet you at the same time, you must respond to the old cat first. New cats will understand these.
Is when the old cat and old cat are relatively calm in this case, and rarely can enter the third step after each other or yells.
Step 3: Complete contact.
before this step is on, be sure to ensure that both cats have been immune, and the new cat has received a comprehensive health check; Common infectious diseases such as parasites must also be cured to allow new cats to be in contact with old cats.
In the door of the isolation area and let the new cat and old cat meet. Don't introduce it deliberately. Open the door when the old cat is not near the isolation area. Let them meet each other "inadvertently" instead of "formal meeting." Watch their reactions closely. Maybe they will chase each other, but as long as there are no fierce fighting, continue to observe. When fighting, you can say "not to fight" or separate with water spray. Don't fight the cats in your hands, it is easy to hurt people. In addition, cats always sound serious when fighting, don't worry too much. Nails that often trim cats can reduce the degree of damage. If the fight is very intense or separated, you will fight together soon, and return to the second step to enter the third step.
The recommended to be in contact with this step in the case of someone supervised, it will be made from time to time, for a short time to multiple times, a short time, and a long time, and finally all day. The first day of contact is best to choose on weekends to facilitate the owner's observation and necessary intervention. Until the confidence they could get along peacefully, they stayed at home all day.
In short, introducing the new cat to the old cat should be a gradual process and need patience. I would rather be cautious, and don't rush to achieve success. Separate food bowl water bowls are necessary, and cats sand pots may be necessary. In addition, pay attention to observe whether the cat has symptoms of mental nervousness, such as eating quickly and then vomiting, excessive sorting yourself, excessive diet is a manifestation of unhappy. Pulling urine everywhere at home, barking abnormally, and often hiding is also nervous.
In general, after such a process (the kitten may only take a few days, the adult cat may take up to one month), most cats can at least get along with each other at least. As for whether they can be good friends, it depends on their fate.
Pengzi will also remind you: The longer the cat loves the cat, the more you love them. Inadvertently, the number of cats at home may be more and more. However, cats do not like group animals. Compared with dogs, cats are more lonely and independent, and they need their own space. Therefore, don't think that "raising a large group of cats" is a good thing. If there are too many cats raised, and the place in the family is relatively small. The space of each cat and the love from the owner are limited. With the arrival of the new cat, the space and love they have divided Due to anxiety and nervousness, cats are prone to problems in behavior (such as disorderly excretion, fighting). The owner’s energy is limited, the number of cats is too large, the owner’s love cannot be assigned to each cat like one or two cats, and more money is paid in money, and the abnormal abnormalities in cat behavior will also be. Cause other people at home. According to foreign information, the number of cats in a family should basically be the same as the number of rooms, so that it can make each cat feel more comfortable from the space.
Just make the kitten dip the smell of the old cat ~! Those who have done such an experiment before, as long as the mice are stained with the smell of the cat, the cat will not hurt it at all.
