Need your input on introducing a new cat...

[Russian Blue]

Thanks so much for your suggestions everyone!

I figured I was on the right track but it's always good to hear from the experienced owners. Plus, Rob has been making fun of me because I'm picking this process to death. Ok, now I just have to wait until the little one comes home.

Here is a good link about introducing new kitties.

You have all of the right information and as others have said, a kitten is much less threatening so I hope that you won't run into any problems. With Starr, Pearl, and now baby Ziggy Stardust, I just let them roam around and I never had to confine them. I've had Ziggy here since Sat. afternoon and as of this evening, all of my cats have now accepted her but they're also used to living with other cats. Good luck and please keep us updated. Pictures would be nice too.
