Thanks
Hideyo. Yes, I agree---I have 2 who never got over being introduced too soon. I
keep thinking I should try to re-introduce them.
I want
minimize the new little guy's fear as far as possible. He's been thru a lot
already. Kerry

key points! The magic word for introduction of new cat(s) is – do it
verrrrrrrrrrry s-l-o-w-l-y for both ends – for existing kitties and new kitties
– We want to make sure
that both sides has a place to get away if they are not comfortable with
situation so that they are not stuck there – That’s said, I would
first put a new kitty in a separate room, and have her get used to you and the
smell of your house first ----- then, you might want to slowly introduce to your
kitties either through screen door between the rooms , and then, put a new kitty
in the crate in the rest of the rooms while you are home.. etc..… once the
damage is done, it’s very difficult to undo (speaking of my bitter experience)
--- as long as you take it slow, everything should go well –
Older kitties are,
slower you want to take… Kerry, I am sure that
everything will work just fine! Hideyo From:

N. Dear friends, I need
some advice! One of the NJ FeLV
cats will be coming soon--possibly this Wed--to join my 2 remaining feral
kitties (Mickie who's got FeLV, and Momcat who has tested neg
twice). Mickey and Momcat live
in my 2nd bedroom. I have 2
Qs-- 1.
d'you think I need to introduce the new little guy slowly--I'd
have to keep him in my bedroom while I'm at work, which could mean he'll be
on his own for long stretches. :>( (It's such a long
time since I've had to introduce anyone---my brood all came as an existing
colony.) Little new guy, by the way, is supposed to be people-friendly.
I'm hoping it will help bring my two round. Cherie, who does
rescue---she's the angel that took all the NJ cats-- said she didn't think
I needed to keep little new guy separate (like in a crate, the other
option I mentioned to her). But everything I read in the past says I should
introduce them s-l-o-w-l-y. 2.
D'you think I should remove the negative cat, Momcat, from the room because
otherwise she could contract FeLV from the new cat if it were a different strain
of FeLV. (I'm very hazy on this stuff but I think I recall Sally in All opinions much
appreciated!! Thanks in
