Some problems may arise when we take a new cat home to meet an existing cat at home. Since cats are highly independent animals, they may not get along very friendly at the beginning. The new cat may feel uneasy, and the old cat at home may feel threatened by the new member, so it will growl at the new cat. So, as cat owners, how should we deal with this situation?  

First, let's understand why cats do this. Cats are social animals, but also territorial animals. The old cat at home may think that the new cat has entered its territory, causing it to feel uneasy and lost. This behavior is very normal and is their natural instinctive reaction. However, we cannot let them attack or harm each other. We need to do something to relieve tension.

The following are some feasible methods to help new and old cats blend better.

First, create an independent space for the new cat.

Place a litter box, water basin and food basin in popular areas or areas that have contact with old cats. This ensures that the new cat has its own private space and avoids direct contact between new and old cats.

Secondly, provide the cat with the attention it deserves.

Pay attention to ambient noise and other disturbances besides cats, turn off the TV and other noises and keep the environment quiet. Make your cat feel comfortable and safe around you. Meanwhile, make sure to provide enough food and water to both cats.

In addition, we need to gradually guide cats to establish a mutual trust relationship.

When cats have contact with other cats, supervise their movements and encourage them when they appear to probe and smell each other. You can use rewards to give them feedback on their positive actions. Combing the two cats separately, this helps them feel relaxed and happy and bringing the two together. This also helps to establish mutual trust and intimate connection between the two cats.

Finally, while cultivating patience and patience during the early period of getting along, you may need some advice and help from professional cat behavior consultants at the beginning. In this way, you can learn from the experience of some practitioners and discuss how to establish a normal, stable and healthy form of getting along.

With these professional help, you can better understand your cats, discover their favorite games, foods and activities, and start building a relationship that understands each other and has a special friendship.

In short, when we take a new cat home to meet the cat we already have at home, we need to be patient, careful, and at the same time we need to correctly understand the essence of things. As time and effort accumulate, a healthy, stable and pleasant relationship will be established between your two cats.
