    Laura, it sounds like a big step has been taken! Things will get better each time they are together. I think your idea of just letting them together when one or both of you are home to supervise is a good one for now! GOOD LUCK to all!

    So far they are still doing so well! I've finally calmed down, before we let them out together I gave Corkscrew some rescue remedy and took some for myself! I had managed to convince myself that they would never get along so we shouldn't bother trying. But now I realize it was just my anxiety and I had to just let them have a fight. Before the second they would start fighting I would freak out and throw a towel on Corkscrew and bring him back to the bedroom.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    Sometimes you have to let them fight. Under normal circumstances it won't last very long. Only if it seems to be unending, should you break it up. In all my cat introductions, fosters included, I have never run across a cat that couldn't live together with other cats. Good luck.

    You didn't have Minette! That girl would litterally make fur fly off the others around here.

    Laura, I think you are right about your anxiety affecting them. I noticed that ever since I stopped "saving" Abby from Pouncer that they fight far less (not that he still doesn't go after her on his own ) I used ot eb so uptight about him picking on her that I failed to notice my reaction brought on half the fights.

    Good luck with this. Most the time patience is the key.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
