How do you introduce a stray cat to it's new home when a cat already lives there?

Answer 1

You simply: If it is an outdoor cat- Take it to the door and smudge butter on your hand and then on the cats paws, and let it out. Please be aware that the cat will walk funny with butter on their feet. If it is an indoor cat- Put butter on their feet and leave them near the door or i9n a carrier outside for 3-5 minutes. And then take it back in and wipe off the butter.

The whole process is going to take time and patience on your part. Along with some necessary supplies for your new cat. It might take a number of days, weeks, or even months to get your new cat settled in. So, be patient and loving with him or her, and the adjustment will go smoother. Your new cat should have a room or a secluded area to itself at first. If you don't have a spare room you can use, simply section off part of an area in your house. Initially, the spare room or area should be away from all other pets. In order to get a new cat home and get it settled in, place a litter box, water, food, some cat toys, a scratching post, and a kitty bed or basket in his or her private area. (The litter box should be as far away as possible from its water and food bowls and bed or basket.) You should start out by using the same kind of cat food your new cat is used to eating. Its food will be familiar, and he or she will be more likely to eat. The room or sectioned off area should be free of anything harmful to him or her. This includes sharp objects and toxic substances such as household cleaners, insecticides, mouse or ant poison, drain cleaner, mothballs, etcetera. Don't be alarmed if your new cat refuses to eat at first. He or she needs some time to calm down and get adjusted to its new environment. If, however, the cat won't eat in a day or two, you'll need to take action. Entice it with some tuna fish. If that doesn't work, you should call your veterinarian for further advice.

Very carefully! If at all possible give it its own private room for the first several months. Also make sure your existing cats are current on all shots, especially feline leukemia.
