happyfamilyshirts: I had an older cat that was alone for years

I had an older cat that was alone for years, until I fell in love with a cat at the pet store. We did a slow introduction (per Jackson Galaxy routine) and eventually they were grooming each other, playing and sleeping on the same bed. BUT I do not think it would have happened, unless the new cat was eager and willing to make friends. He was a pushy little sh*t…LOL. My point is that BOTH cats need to be considered , with regards to personality. You must resist the temptation to pick a new cat based on color, age, size, or breed. if you want your current cat to make friends. And give it plenty of time. Took my boys about 3 months. There was hissing and a few squats but few fights. (I put a stop to that ASAP). And never leave them alone in the same place until any danger of fighting is past. Be prepared (mentally) to rehome the new cat, if the older cat becomes too stressed, ill or very aggressive. It isn’t fair to either of them to be made to suffer. Good luck. You might be surprised how things work out.
