Cat problems

[hardy49]

We have adopted a tabby cat who used to live with our neighbours but they simply do not want her any more.She was out in the sub zero temperatures last week so we enticed her indoors and she stayed with us for the nights.We saw the owners last week and told them and all they said whas "keep it".
Now we already have two very spoilt male cats - have you any hints as to how we can let them know she is going to live with us without too much pain.At the moment when they have seen her there has been spitting and she has run off.Will they accept her in time ?

We took a stray kitten in to live with our 2 very spoilt cats, one male and one female.........the stray kitten is female. For the first 10days there was spiting , screaming shouting, but it has now settled down and the have accepted her. Initially, we fed her separately from the other 2, but now they all eat next to each other.

Being fed and warm, she is going ton put up with the fights......believe me.

Good luck.

You are right sqad - as a non-cat lover, I'm leaving this section.
I just couldn't resist it......

[ummmm]

I absolutely adore my cat. So much so that the kids accuse me of loving him more than them....

My poor brother married a nice lady who is allergic to cats and dogs. They were forced to have human babies instead of furry ones. It is so sad!

I could never never live with a man who wasn't as soft as I am about animals.;o)

As for hardy49's question. Just relax and let the cats sort themselves out. They will, even if there are lots of spits and growls initially. They may never be firm friends but they will live together peaceably. Squad is correct.

Hardy - I recently introduced my elderly female and my young male to a house with 3 resident cats. The first 4 weeks were hell on earth. Initially I segregated mine so that they had a room where they could eat and sleep and with litter trays, but they are now integrated with the other cats. There are still a few hissy spats with my elderly female (she's a bit precious) but generally its a harmonious household.

Doc has reminded me - We had a ginger cat that was called William. A really naughty cat. He thought his name was 'Hey, Hey, stop it'!!

It does seem though that when the more dominant cat dies another takes their place. We have noticed it several times.
