I have been through this before and my fav cat hated me just about forever for bring in another cat... it was suffering out side ...
I have a foster cat ... I love it and feed it like its mine ...it is a out side cat when he wants to be ... I am getting a cute kitten nxt wkk ... and she will come home Mon ... and will have to take care of her becouse she is getting fixed ... and she will not be a outside cat ... but will still keep her claws ... what is your opinion on how to introduce her to the other male cat ... I feel once she feels better ...she will like the one I foster ... just a little worried with their first meet... |

I'm glad ur keeping her claws. I've fostered dogs for years and always met a new guy on neutral territory.. But that's not possible with a cat. I would probably keep the new guy in its box, inside of your home and very slowly move from there.

First of all, make sure, they stay in different rooms at the start, so they can pick up each other's scent.
Both need to be neutred as well, from my experience, neutred cats are less territorial. And then, patience is the key, and if two cats just ignore each other, it is already a good sign, and better than constant fighting. Good luck with all that |

Again appalled to hear how normal it seems for ppl over there to rid cats of their nails. It should be forbidden by law.
Having her sterilised when still that small? Also should be forbidden. It's just a baby cat and there's no reason to have that done already. Why put her through the stress? If that ginger cat is her, is she even 8 weeks old, hopefully older? Can't help but say I feel sorry for cats in the States. I hope there will be more and more people who respect and love their cats. Give a cat a scratching pole, allow it to go outdoors once it's old enough. I never have a problem with scratching, I don't believe I ever had with a cat. They're smart and you can teach them what you find okay and what not. And as long as they can scratch somewhere they'll be fine. Gone from here now. This made me feel really sad for all the cats over there... |

Just wanting to say to Crystal that there are not so many pet owners in the United States that would declaw their cats. I don't know where that information came from. You are maybe looking at a few select people from cities. I don't agree with declawing cats.

This made me feel really sad for all the cats over there... it is to dangerous to let her out where I live ... big dogs all around me .. large train flying by ... cars & for wheeler side by sides ... racing on the roads... I feel safer if she does not go out side ... Boots knows the area but I still worry about him ... thanks for your opinion ... but I have been through baby kittens that got pregnant an lost them becouse she was small ... bring this kitten home... I needed to get that done ... have a foster cat that is a large male and i was not going through that again ... I kept her claws believe me i feel them lmao but one day they may start to love one another ... getting closer forgot ...oh she will be tired after the surgery ... ok take it slow with her ... are u kidding me she was like what I had surgery ... all she wanted to do was play ...could not slow her down ... and still the same lol they have this new treat out ... like a pop sickle... that said when she uses the litter praise them and give them a treat after ... she found it the other night on my table an tore that baby up lmao have to hide them now :<) this was the story of her. my family has had so many kittens an live in the country ...some just dropped off ... I ask about foxy she does not look all like the other kittens ... other no long hair or look like her ... they told me one of their older cats stole her from a litter up in the holler... and was brought down by another large cat ... he took her for him self ... so that explains why she does not look like the rest of that litters ... :>) |

Beautiful cats!
I wouldn't advise declawing. I have one cat! |

Contrats on getting your new kitty on Monday. I would say let them be. They will introduce themselves to each other when ready. They may hiss at each other, or maybe like each other right quick. Some people slowly introduce their new pet to their older one.
Good luck! |

Beautiful cats! I wouldn't advise declawing. I have one cat! I have before a long time ago ... when I had lots of cats ... if u saw my legs and arms u might want to reconsider that declawing I pretty much have train boots with his nails trying to do the same with her ... and would not now ... becouse if she ever gets out ... it would put her in more danger... |
