How to get Aboriginal cats to accept new cats

I believe that many owners bring new cats home, the following situations will occur. When the aborigines and new cats start a fight, either the new cat is injured or the aborigines are injured; seeing the owner pay more attention to the new cat, the aborigines become depressed, If it is more serious, it will also become irritated and sick, such as hunger strike, cystitis, fatty liver deterioration, etc.;

It is also possible that the new cat will always hide in the corner that it thinks is safe, such as on the refrigerator, Some cats stay on the shelf for a month. Seeing this, do you also think that raising a new cat is risky? On the one hand, it is to satisfy one’s own selfishness, and on the other hand, it is to satisfy the cat’s sense of security. So what should we do?

To properly introduce new cats to Aboriginal cats

To get Aboriginals to accept new cats, It is necessary to let the aboriginal people realize that the new cat will not pose a threat to it. As long as the aboriginal people and the new cat can tolerate each other, then it is a good start, and then to make the cats get along better, it depends on After the cat gets along with the owner’s efforts. Now the most important thing for owners is to make cats have a good impression of each other.

 

Make a good impression on each other from three aspects:

To say that cats pay the most attention to three things, eating and drinking, toilets and territory.

1. First solve the problem of eating and drinking

We have to think about it before we decide to bring the new cat into the door. If your cat is self-feeding, then it must be changed. This feeding method can be changed to a regular and quantitative method.

Stable feeding can make the cat form the habit of what to do when, and let the cat consciously know the “feeding” signal.

There will be a certain isolation period when the new cat is brought home. During this period, the feeding method can be adopted through the door, and the distance between the feeding places of the two cats can be shortened day by day until there is only one door left. ,

Doing this will allow the cat to finish eating in the familiar taste of each other, and let the cat know that even if there is another cat, it will not grab its meal, or there is this guy In the consciousness that I can eat food.

 

2. In addition to eating and drinking, of course it is a matter of pulling.

Cats are very sensitive to smells The cat litter

box can be said to be the place where the cat smells the most. Once it invades the smell of other cats, the cat will be very disgusted.

The owner can prepare a new pot of cat litter, then put the new cat’s urine balls in it, and then put it in the original area of the aborigines, so that the aborigines are familiar with the smell of the new cat,

If the cat reacts too much, don’t go any further, prepare at least two litter boxes until they touch each other.

The same can be used to familiarize Aboriginal people with other things the new cat has touched.

3. The last is the site issue

It is still a matter of returning to the cat’s sensitivity to smell, and everything that is marked will be included in his own site.

As soon as you start bringing new cats home, separate them so they have their own space.

Of course, a family with a large space can exchange space, and let the cats take turns changing the space to stay familiar with each other’s taste. At this time, the cats are still separated.

When planning to let cats touch, it is necessary to plan the space problem in the home. If there is only flat space without vertical space, cats will easily fall into Territorial contention will cause cats to have no personal space. Vertical objects such as cat climbing frames can solve this problem very well.

To solve the problems of eating, going to the toilet, and the site, let the cat get familiar with it slowly. You can arrange the cat to play together. If the cat doesn’t play and keeps staring at each other and is ready to do it, it needs to be done next time. , Be prepared to retreat, don’t let the cats contact each other again, continuing to contact will only make the cats hold grudges and leave a bad impression.

 

It is actually impossible for the cat to fully accept a cat as soon as it comes up. The owner should step by step and find the best way to let the cat get along.
