Welcome to Pet Talk

I have 2 girls and 5 boys. Ranging from 6 months to around 11 to 15 years old.

I must have introduced every combination of age and gender by now.

The tricky one was 10 month old girl to oldest boy but I feel this was caused by my poor introduction procedure rather than anything else.

My advice........

I feel cats choose their owners anyway. I would go to your local shelter and see who picks you (whatever the gender or age of the cat).

As for introductions......slowly is the key.

Place new cat with litter tray, water, food, toys in a spare room with the door shut. Keep the cats seperate for a while.

Dallas will know that the new cat is in there but it gives her chance to get used to the new scent. Only allow them to see each other when you are there to supervise and keep new cat in the spare room at all other times.

Slowly increase the time the new cat spends with Dallas, until new cat and Dallas are fully intergrated.

Best of luck and of course photos please.
