Steps to Introduce a New Cat at Home
Cats are territorial animals and introducing them to a new environment takes patience. Follow these steps:
- Prepare a Safe Room: Keep the new cat in a quiet room at first.
- Give Time: Allow the cat to adjust to smells and sounds for 2–3 days.
- Slow Introduction: Use a baby gate or keep doors slightly open for visual contact.
- Use Scent Exchange: Rub cloth on each cat and swap to share scents.
- Supervised Meeting: Start short interactions and observe behavior.
Be calm and patient. It can take a week or more to fully adjust.
