How to Make Two Cats Get Along

Welcome to this AnimalWised video, where we are discussing the peaceful coexistence of two cats. It’s not always the easiest task and something which can cause a little trouble for cats and guardians alike. To understand how we can introduce two cats to each other, we need to think about feline behavior, preparing the home for a new cat and what to do if we see two cats fighting. We will show you everything you can do before you need a feline specialist in feline behavior such as an ethologist.

On AnimalWised you'll discover a high quality channel that's exclusively devoted to the Animal Kingdom. You'll find all sorts of content: from training, diet or beauty and everything that can be useful for you as a pet owner or animal lover. Want to become AnimalWised?

Here is what happened to me

New cat: calm and nice

I just got a new cat today. This is what goes down.

New cat: “Hi there I’m-“

OG Cat: *attac helicopter initiates* DIE MORTAL

[rose_akira]

Here’s my situation lol


OG Cat: *Being friendly*
New Cat: *Hissing*

Patience is the key and not to rush it.. My male cat was horrified when we brought in another male.. Of course we kept them separated initially but the few times they did see each other they would scream and yell.. And on the odd occasion had a couple of punch ups.. It took about 4 months of feeding them in separate spaces but also able to see each other.. And later having them both on leash during little introductions.. Its also best not to leave them Alone together even after they seem reasonably friendly.. Now they absolutely adore each other and quite frankly even ignore us😀

what if you introduced them a while ago but they still attack each other

[insanitycubed]

I would recommend if they are in the same room and still not getting long, don't just pet one pet them both.

My female cat is very agressive to newly introduced male cat ☹️🙁🙁

Why am I watching this, I don’t even have cats.

Cute cats tho.

I loved the video; In my experience (2 adult cats- tolerant to each other for more than 8 years, and introducing foster kittens with them) I would keep a kitten in one room for 2 to 3 days. First day, two adults would hear the kitten, and smell it under the door. Second day (because adults start to express high level of curiosity) I would allow them to see each other, just a glimpse (still separated by a "door frame"). Usually adults would be chilling, laying down in front of the door, relaxed and waiting to meet/sniff the kitten.
Third day, I would keep the door open for a while. Just so that adults can look whats going on inside the room, in a relaxed state of mind - because I would be playing with the kitten, so it wouldn't even noticed that two pairs of big eyes are analising it's every move. Point: grown ups need to realise that there is a non threthening intruder, who is playful and not paying attention to them. Kitten after 3 days realises that is being in a safe environment...

i'm 2 days in with a new kitten and the OG cat and her are already playing chase with eachother!! I coulden't be happier :)

Do cats get jealous? I brought my new cat home yesterday. Lots of growling and hissing from both.

[Em_-xopb]

What would I do If my cats want each other DeAd???

The Jackson galaxy method seems safer and better for the cats overall

[scootermom]

I noticed the beautiful rug on the floor and the pillows. What a great idea! I LOVE sitting on the floor, and that set up looks so inviting to me. :)

My second cat is very timid so she doesn’t like new arrivals. Luckily, she’s pretty harmless, just puts on a show to protect herself. Hopefully someday she’ll be a bit more accepting.

Today I got a kitten, but this is first time seeing my older cat was being so aggressive to the poor little thing, I'm scared to even let both see each other see each other again. What do I do?🤔

[DeeBee]

Thank you for this video. This was quite helpful. Just got 2 new kittens (7months) and my current cat is 13 years. I though I did something wrong, because they were a bit standoff-ish and started to hiss at each other. My older cat left the bedroom early morning and I got very sad, because I love sleeping next to my cat. I really love her a lot.

our cats have been fighting for years. we've tried everything.

it's much easier to not get a second cat in the first place

We just rescued a wild cat. She is a beautiful Calico cat, and we just brought her home last night. Today, I wanted to introduce her to my other cat, a 4 year old cat. My new cat was the one who was hissing at my old cat, and my old cat was just trying to be friendly and say hello. My old cat is extremely shy and she has anxiety. She flinches at everything. The new cat is a bit more open and social, so I was surprised my old cat didn't run away right after hearing the new cat hiss. Lmao I felt so bad
