And then, there was Bean's hissy fit when we got Sunny! You have to read this; it will make you laugh; and of course, I got great advice!!

LOL, that's a great story!! The part about YOU being the one that should be drugged at night had me laughing! As a matter of fact, I have found an alcoholic beverage that I have taken a liking to. I've had it two nights this weekend. It just might do the trick. Oh, btw, I do not drink!

Slowly, slowly, and slowly. Slow this all the way down. Tell Bruce he runs the risk of ruining this introduction forever, if he can't slow it down. Your allegiance needs to be with your house kitty, not the kitten. The kitten will adapt.

Also- cats read us like books. Please calm yourself down, you are distressing your Paizly.

Actually Bruce is the one telling me it will all be okay. I just want to make sure he knows not to reprimand Paizly or intervene when she is hissing. I told him today on the phone and he understood.
I know I need to remain calm. It is becoming easier. At first I was just so upset for upsetting her. But I know she will come around. And I am making double sure that we spend our quality time with her. Thanks Cataholic.

This reminds me of when I first became a multi-cat household. Way back then, I only had one cat called Lucy Jane. She looked lots like Grandma does today.

Then baby Leroy showed up outside my kitchen window. He decided he wanted to live with us. I said no. So, he would run around and around the outside of the house, all night long, yelling as loud as he could. After a few days of that, I gave in and brought him inside.

Lucy Jane, was not impressed at all!!! She didn't hiss at him, she hissed at ME!!! It was like: You did this! It's all your fault. Make him go away!!!

She was in a snit for weeks but finally got used to him. (and stopped hissing at me. until I brought Leonardo in of course)

How old was Lucy Jane and Leroy when you brought Leroy in?
Thanks for the story.

I made Mr Jax an appointment for the vets tomorrow night. He needs one of his shots and just the introductory visit at my vet.

Lucy was 7 or 8 and Leroy was just a baby sprout, maybe 3 or 4 months old.

Good luck at the vets tomorrow with Mr Jax.

can u put under Paizly´s food dish a mat that has been used by Jax (slept on, etc).. so she associates good things= food.. to Jax´s smell?...

just a thought..

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.
At the Found Cat Hotel My Cats all liked each other, it was I taht they hissed and spit at.
Even going on 5 years Miquelito and Pouncierge are not 100 % sure!

We pray that Paizly will realize that Jax could start a beautiful friendship

Thank you Gary!

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
