Introducing Neelx to Sirocco!

[sirocco]

Hello, everybody! Yesterday was the D-day!! Some of you may know that I am moving in to a new apartment and I could at last bring in my two cats!! They didn't know each other, for I adopted Neelix only a month ago (by then, I already knew I was moving!) and I couldn't take him in my old flat, so my boyfriend took him over for that period (they're best friends now )

So yesterday's evening I finally had them in my apartment - and no hissing has been heard since then I was prepared for a rough time trying to separate them and, though they aren't best pals (yet ) they just stared and eventually, ignored each other. They even slept in the same bed (with me ) but by different sides, of course There are moment in which Neelix seems a bit afraid of Sirocco, but then I don't really know if that's because he's scared of him, or that he's not used to his new house yet. On the other hand, Siro is a bit aggresive sometimes but they haven't fight at all!

And, now, as ever, could you please tell me your opinions about this? Are they doing great or maybe they'll start to fight later on??

Thank you for your comments!!

Nita, I'd say that they will probably get along with each other very well, because if they have not started to fight by now, it is unlikely that they will do so in the future.

I agree with Wayne, keep an eye on them, but in my experience the worse fights are in the beginning.

I'm pleased it's working out for you!

Yippie!!! Great news. I'm so pleased for you!!!

[sirocco]

Thank you for your posts! They're doing fine, slowly but fine! I'm so relieved that they're getting along well, though I had the feeling it should be so, for Siro and Neelix are calm and nice. I'm talking about the same feeling you have about two people you know and you think would get along great - and this is the typical thought from someone crazy about cats, isn't it? Just thinking about her cats as if they were human!!

I have the whole weekend to devote to my lovely kids, to watch their progress and play with them - surely it helps creating a bond between them !?

That is so great Sirocco !!!
If they did not fight the first day , they will probably get along fine , maybe even be the best of friends !!!!!
Good luck in your new apartment !!!!!!!!!!!

So good to hear everything is going well after all the agonizing you went through over what to do, and the move, and everything. But sounds like they'll be best buddies in no time and you'll have a happy little home!

It sounds like your cats are going to be best friends. That's great. I have three male cats and they are also best friends. This really makes life much easier. Good luck with your cats and in your new apartment.

I'm very happy for you, that is great that your cats get along well.
How old are they? beware of when one/both reach about 10 months of age, it seems thats when there can be some problem, but not with all cats. Good luck and I'm glad it worked out well for you, you have picked out 2 compatable cats!

Is that like the kitty version of the terrible twos?

Sounds like everything is going well!

I'm a little behind, but I hope Sirocco and Neelix is still doing fine!! Anxious to know how they're behaving! I bet they get on well though, the start seemed very fine!
