Jonny 290: May 5, 2005; [ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

He's super friendly and is a master tree climber. many afternoons i come home and hear a 'mew' (he has a tiny little squeakmeow) and there's sebastian, just sittin on a limb 30 feet up

he has 0 fear of the house and nargle and has snuck inside when other cattes have been outside beatin him up. nargle doesn't go for the throat, she's just confused and wtf because she doesnt really know what a cat is

i'm so close to just turning the studio room into new cat sequester area, taking him in for fix/shots, and doin' thangs

TOO SCSI FOR MY CAT posted:

about an hour ago, she started acting dizzy, and then fell over. I took her to the emergency vet.

by the time I got there, her heart had stopped. they tried to get it going again. no luck. too late.

couldn't bear to bring the empty carrier home. they kept it, said they'd donate it to a shelter.

it didn't really hit me until I opened the door and she wasn't there to say "where have you been?"

I'm typing this and there's nobody on my lap.

goodbye alex

How old is Nargle?

Quarantining is something you'll definitely want to do.

Also pictures would probably help w/r/t brainstorming.

Keep them apart for a bit, exchange blankets or something in beds for each other to smell the other cat. Bring out in a crate so nargle can see and smell but sebastion can't run around what she perceives as hers.

eggplant wizard (hi) wrote a great post about this in PI ages ago

quote:

When you bring a new cat into your household, both it and your other cats will probably be upset. You would be too if someone thrust a roommate on you. You can minimize the stress by making the introduction gradually.

Stage 0: Acceptance of terms
There will be lots of hissing. This does not mean you are doomed.

Stage 1: Seclusion
Keep the new cat separate from the other cat(s). Make sure it has all the necessities- food, water, litter, attention. Choose somewhere you can hang out with new cat and get to know it, but not your other cat's favorite hangout, either. The cats will all know the others are there, but this stage allows them to get comfortable with there being other scents around. Try switching out each cat's bedding so they can sniff at it. You might also try giving them their meals on either side of a closed door, so they associate food with the new cat's smell. You can switch the cats out to explore each other's areas and get used to scents & places that way, too.

This stage can last a couple of hours to a week or so. You will have to use your judgment on when to advance. If both cats seem comfortable and curious, rather than totally anxious, continue on.

Stage 2: Supervised introductions
Pretty much what it says. Let the cats meet. There will almost certainly be hissing and maybe even some swatting. It's okay to laugh when their tails puff up. You can let these introductions last as long as you like, depending on how the cats interact. The rule of thumb is not to separate them unless (a) you can't be present to supervise anymore or (b) violence erupts.

Violence is not swatting and hissing and puffing up, or even growling and yowling, necessarily. If blood is drawn or the yowls seem to indicate pain rather than aggression, then it's absolutely time to separate them and return to stage 1 for a while.

This stage might last as little as one or two meetings, or it could go on for weeks. If it drags beyond a week please ask and see if we can make some suggestions to make things go more smoothly.

Stage 3: Kitten piles
As the introductions go better and last longer without incident, you will feel comfortable leaving the cats alone, and from there they'll probably soon reach a level of toleration, if not immediate kitten piles. Kitten piles may never happen, honestly, and that's not your fault. If they do, great!

No don't use a crate, he will feel trapped and be upset. Use a baby gate in the doorway if you have one, or just crack the door enough so they can see each other and maybe put an arm through. Keep the door closed for the first couple days though.
