Hello,
It has been a week since we adopted Lily, and things are
going great so far. We’ve kept her and our other cat in separate parts of
the house and have been gradually introducing their presence (scent, sound,
brief visuals) to one another. Today they graduated to occupying the same room
each entertained with their own toy and also eating at food bowls placed at a
safe distance. Lily has been clear about her boundaries with little
hisses and growls when our other cat gets too near.
We are hopeful that they will continue down this path during
the week ahead and develop a comfortable cat camaraderie.
Lily is a sweet cat. She likes being petted. She
likes to play. She loves treats. She likes lounging around and
sitting quietly near us when we are working. I’ve caught her being
interested in electrical cables but she responds to voice commands to leave
things be. She doesn’t like being held much, and she prefers to sleep
under the bed which seems odd but not a deal breaker.
The final test is if she and our other cat can get along
when not supervised. Our other cat is like a border collie in a cat
suit. He is uber playful, laser focused, and interactive almost to a
fault. He is definitely looking for a pal though. We sincerely hope
we found one for him in Lily.
Will keep you posted!
