Introducing Bentley & Levi!!!

[katladyd]

Some cats are just not social with other cats. Mac has never really bonded with any of my other cats. People, yes, he's a primo lap cat and a sweet baby. Other cats, nope. He avoids them or growls at them every chance he gets. Levi will eventually adjust, they all do in a household where there is enough love to go around. Still, he may always be a loner and never really be friendly with the others. As long as he's friendly to you, just accept that he is not sociable with other cats and enjoy the love he gives you.

It isn't that he doesn't like or isn't social with other cats because his foster mom said that he is. He's just going to take a bit longer to adjust to my home and come out of his shell. He basically grew up in his foster moms home so it'll take him some time to adjust to my home. His foster mom suggested that I sit with him on my lap out in the main area so he can used to being out there and then he has the comfort of still being with me. I'll try this tonight. She also suggested putting up a baby gate in the entrance of he cat room, but then I'm afraid that he'd start hiding under the bed because my other cats would jump over the baby gate. I also have a cage that I've used in the past for my cats that were recovering from surgery. I really don't want drag this out unless I have to. I know he'll come around. He'll just take a little longer than I'm used to. Bentley is almost ready to be out with my other cats all of the time. He was much more comfortable this morning and so were they. Please wish me luck.

Bentley & Levi are both very handsome boys. Sounds like the intros are going fine so far. I tend to agree with your opinions on Levi. From what I've read here
so far, Levi seems like the kind to take his time with new things & new cats. He looks like a real sweetie in his pictures.

Things went very well tonight with both boys. I was able to buy 2 feliway plugins on my way home from work. I also had Levi on my lap for at least 10 minutes before he decided to jump down an explore. He really came out of his shell tonight. I don't know if the feliway helped everyone but it sure didn't hurt having it. After seeing both new cats relaxed and enjoying themselves, I know that things are going to work out great.

Thanks. Yes, I know.

I am so happy Levi came out of his shell! I just had to break up another hissing contest between Mac and Kimba. That gets old. Levi sounds like he is going to do just fine!

That is awesome!! I can't even get two cats to get along and you've got............12?? Yes, I am jealous, just a little.

Thanks. I haven't even bothered to introduce them to my girls. Ziggy has seen Bentley for a little bit while she was out with the others waiting to be fed. My girls prefer to spend most of their time in my bedroom these days. Pearl lives in my bedroom. That would both prefer to be only cats so being in my bedroom is the best option/solution for them. It's also my cat sanctuary for my 3 oldest cats which includes Sky too.

Thanks again everyone. Tonight both boys were reluctant to go back into the cat room for the night so they are so much more comfortable now.
