To socialize an older cat with other cats, start by introducing them gradually in a neutral space. Allow them to sniff each other and observe their body language. Provide separate food and litter areas initially, and gradually increase their time together. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats and praise, to encourage good behavior. Monitor their interactions closely and be patient, as it may take time for them to adjust to each other.
That is hard and you can't make them. Most older cats do not get along with other CATS! But if kittens are introduce with an older cat they have a better chance of getting along.
To help your cat learn to play with other cats, start by introducing them to one cat at a time in a controlled environment. Use positive reinforcement, such as treats or toys, to encourage friendly interactions. Gradually increase the number of cats and monitor their behavior to ensure they are comfortable. Be patient and consistent in your efforts to help your cat socialize with others.
yes. other cats can step in that cats poop, the cat can lick the other cat, or another cat can step in the other cats pee
Cats are not pack animals, they only tolerate each other in our homes because we feed them. You older cat sees the kitten as invading it territory.
Well if they are adults, get two so they can socialize with tons of other cats. However, an younger cat may not appreciate having a friend around the house because kittens like to be the boss from the start.But if you get it from the BC. SPCA. and the script about the cat says they are good with other cats then take them home before you buy them and see if they work with each other.
Yes, I have two dogs & had two cats. The older cat died, and the other cat was heart broken and always had wet soggy eyes for weeks.
Male cats do not attack kittens or female cats however, it probably isn't the best idea. If you have lived with the older cat for a while, he may become jealous of the new addition to the family. As the younger cat devolops they may become aggressive to one another. This said, not all cats are like this, some generally get along with other cats. It depends mostly on the breed and age.
Cats may chase each other due to territorial behavior, playfulness, or establishing dominance. It is common for older cats to chase kittens as a way to assert their authority or teach them boundaries.
Younger cats are not used to being around older cats and like humans pick up the characteristics and habits of those around them. Which is why younger cats tend to sleep, lay, and play in the same locations as their older counterparts.
older cats dont go well with kittens,the older cat wants to relax...the kitten wants to play.....then that leads up to a fight
Cats are not cannibals they will not eat other cats even in starving conditions.
yes! my cat is the leader of my other cat she tells her what to do but they dont mind!
