Paizly Problem is over, sorta! #66 pix too!

Yes, I was going to PM Catty1 if she didn't respond here.
Now she's just confusing me. Last night she was a mess and then this morning she was playing and running zoomies all over that end of the house. I heard her while I was in with Jax. That made me feel better. I guess nights are harder on her because the door has been left open (with the gates up) for most of the day. Where as it is closed all night so mornings are more relaxing.

Isabel, I have been giving her treats. The problem is she can only have about 3 or 4 of these treats or she will throw up. The first time I gave her some of them after Jax's arrival, she didn't touch them. Then I tried again later and she didn't touch them again. This morning I showed her where they were and she ate them. So progress is being made..........I think. I hope!

We have to put ourselves in a Cat's place, I have a feeling that we would not take to a strange person in our homes that easily.:eek:
At the Found Cat Hotel My Cats all liked each other, it was I taht they hissed and spit at.:eek:
Even going on 5 years Miquelito and Pouncierge are not 100 % sure!
:confused:
We pray that Paizly will realize that Jax could start a beautiful friendship:love::love::love:

Thank you Gary! :D

I'm pretty late to reply and I see you already had many advises. I am not a specialist anyway, but I just wanted to say that a similar situation occurred with Peppito when I brought Jasmine home. He was hissing at her, hissing at us, and finally never never attacked her. He was even hissing at us when we wanted to trim his nails, something he never did before, as if saying "I need these claws, I am the boss, don't touch them". Now they are buddies. They do not sleep in cat piles, but still they like being together. The only thing Peppito still does after 5 years is hissing at Jasmine and chasing her when she is back from the vet. When they have catnip he also tends to be a little aggressive with her. For the rest, all is fine :)

:D I love to hear the success stories. It gives me hope. Thanks for sharing.

Bruce just took the dogs outside, I am at the computer and Jax's door is closed. Paizly was in here with me and she jumped down from the chair and I watched her walk out of the room. She was standing in the doorway, her tail twitching. Then she walked over by Jax's door and sniffed toward the bottom of the door. No hissing or growling. Usually if we have the baby gates up she hisses as she runs by even if Jax is not in sight.
Bruce was gone for a long period of time today. So I'm hoping maybe she ventured over to sniff around the closed door without any distractions from us or the dogs.

It is a teeny step of progress, but its progress! :D

ETA: I left the door to his room open while I took him to the vet so she could possibly go explore. I don't know if she did or not because Bruce and the dogs were outside the whole time.

Patience seems to be the key. I remember will Tigris' and Filou's introduction, they were both babies, 12 and 16 weeks old and it took them a week before they talked to each other.
So it sounds as if your plan works slowly slowly and I keep my paws crossed:)

Thank you Barbara. :)
I was supposed to give Paizly another dose of Feliway on her collar last night and this morning, but it's too hard to do by myself (I don't like adding more stress to her). Even without it though she seems much more relaxed. Although, she is still not really going around the room. I also haven't seen her around when the gate is up and she can actually see into the room. But the fact that she seems more relaxed is a good thing.

You just wait! I will have cuddling cat pictures before you know it. And I'll wonder why I was ever worried about all this. :D :D

Paizly seems to be coming around. Tonight I was in with Jax and she actually came up to the gate to see him. Usually she'd run by hissing. She did hiss but not too much. She actually stayed there for quite a while and Jax stayed right by the gate looking at her.

This morning I went to pet her belly and she wasn't having it. But I played a little rough with her for a while. Then when I walked back through the room this is what I saw:

I gave her the kickaroo to distract her from my arm. And then she just layed there with her head on it. :)

Aww, that's an adorable pic! Hi Paizly!

I'm so glad to hear that she's finally coming around. She sure is a gorgeous cat.:) Curiosity will get the best of her. Just wait and see.;)

Aw, Paizly reminds me of my RB Peeka, not in looks but personality. She was furious when I added Pidgie to the family. She never did warm up to Pidge but eventually they learned to stay out of each other's way; this happened after I brought Creamsicle in. I have no idea why but she seemed to add some calm to the situation. It will get better and better every day. Keep the faythe. :)

Thanks Tracey and Mary.
Well this morning she wanted to sit in the bathroom window again. One thing I'm noticing about her is her meow is much different now. I actually sat in the bathroom for a while to pet her when she'd let me. She lets me pet her but not like before. She used to rub her face all over mine. Hopefully she'll eventually get back to that.
But yes, she seems a little less upset about the whole situation. This morning she was sitting outside Jax's room and when I looked out at her she meowed at me. LOL I think this weekend we might try a brief introduction without a gate in the way. We will see! :)

My Paizly Problem is OVER!!! :D :D
This morning I was in the room with Jax and I didn't close the door all the way. It was open like an inch or two. I saw Paizly out there. Bruce didn't know and let the dogs in the house so Paizly ran. When the dogs came in they charged into the room. I had Bruce put them back outside, so the door was open a little wider now.
Jax ventured out into the hall. One of the baby gates was leaning up against the wall right outside the door. I was crouched in the doorway with my niece and I was holding the gate up so it wouldn't fall over. Jax went behind the gate while Paizly was on the other side. Then there was a four inch gap between the gate and the bedroom door that was open. He kept going back and forth behind the open door and the gate. Paizly started playing with him!!
Eventually Jax came out from behind the gate and it was all over then. They ran around the bedroom playing up a storm. Paizly would start to chase him and then he'd turn and chase her. She would get away from him by jumping up on the bed. He hasn't mastered that skill.......yet.
So we just let them play for almost an hour. The dogs weren't very happy because we put up a gate at the end of the hall so they couldn't interrupt. So now I just have to work on getting all four of them in the same area at the same time. I brought the dogs in the house on leashes earlier while Jax walked around them. They did good, but they like to pounce on the cats. I can't let this happen while Jax is so tiny. Soon enough it will all be good!

I have a few pictures of Paizly and Jax's play session but I'll have to post them this afternoon.

Thanks again everyone for your support! I can just see the cuddling kitty pictures in my mind. :D :D

AWWW! Such great news. Looking forward to pics!:D
