How Long Does It Take For Cats To Get Along
Cats aren’t always the most social animals, but we do want them to get along. You’ve probably heard stories about how cats will fight each other, but that doesn’t have to be the case. If you introduce your cats slowly and patiently, they can eventually become friends. Press Tab to write more…
Give them time
Make it gradual
Separate them at first, then introduce them in a neutral space.
Introduce them when they’re hungry
When you’re introducing two cats, it’s best to do so when they’re hungry. This is because a cat’s need for food overrides its desire to attack another cat. If the cats are both hungry and cold, they will be more interested in the food than each other (especially if there’s no other source of heat or water).
You can also use this trick if one of your cats has been aggressive toward another cat before—if he knows there’s food involved, he might be more willing to play nice than fight for territory and resources.
Let them smell each other first
Allow them to smell each other first. They will be able to get a general idea of who their new roommate is through scent alone, which can help them feel more comfortable with one another.
Make sure they’re in a safe place. This step is especially important if you have a young kitten around older animals that have not been introduced yet or if you have an adult cat that has never lived with cats before! It’s always best to keep younger animals away from older ones until they’ve gotten used to each other so there isn’t any fighting or accidents happening (like getting stepped on). Don’t let them touch each other at all until the introduction process begins–even then, watch closely so that one doesn’t accidentally hurt or scare off their new roommate before things even start!
Make sure they have their own cat tree and toys.
Have different places for each of them to feed and drink.
Helping your cats get along is all about patience and persistence.
It might take some time for your cats to get along but you can help the process along by being patient and persistent.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to helping your cats get along. Every cat is different and you have to think about what works best for your individual pets. But if you follow these tips and put in the time, it’s possible that your kitties can become friends in no time!
