Funny you bring up cats. My Jack Russell almost killed a cat just last week. Our next door neighbor decided to start feeding all the strays, so now they just hang out in our yard when we aren't outside. Just a matter of time. . .

, I need pics King and then you are gonna melt.

Plus my wife is freaking out about our older cat (being sad, being depressed and angry), I had to get opinions man.... It's chaos with cats moaning at the Ski's residence...

This is why I'm a dog person.

We'll hopefully they will settle down, I knew there were a lot of Freaks that had cats here and I figure there would be people with knowledge about the subject to make this a smoother transition.

Hopefully someone here can chime in with suggestions. So I promised my wife that I would ask around whether it would here, other forums, work, the gym, etc...

Thanks for your help daik.

something about a bodybuilder with cats makes me laugh.

cats bore me. they're right behind gold fish and turtles as far as entertainment value goes.

I body build and I have cats.

Just bring them in slowly, if they hiss. Separate them. And this is a good thread bud. Don't let some nerds get to yeah.

Already some good suggestions from others. It probably would be best (for the next few weeks) to keep them separated when neither of you are home. They will most likely get along at some point in the very near future BUT don't be surprised if they do not become buddies. On some occasions personalities just don't mesh, and their relationship could just become one of mutual respect and not one that's loving. Of course, I've found that most of the time cats will eventually form a more loving bond in a household situation than one that is two (or more) simply tolerating each other's presence.

It would probably also be a good idea to continue to treat your older cat as #1 in the household. Sure, the cute little kitten is hard to resist, but Sadie will need the reassurance that's she is still the 'leader' (so to speak).

And no need to get too worried over your older cats behavior toward the new addition at this point. As someone else pointed out, she's showing the young one who's boss at this point, and should calm down in the next couple of weeks (maybe less).

Awesome fellas, I'll keep to the practice that you suggested. We are definitely showing the older one attention as well even though she's not behaving herself, so I'm sure I will have my share of war wounds this week

I do appreciate the advice as I've never meshed cats before so I'm a total noob as to whatever I'm reading online about.

I do love all animals along with dogs so I can't help it if I like a companion to have a happy home...

the seperate rooms trick works pretty good from what i hear. you can also try keeping them seperated get a towel and rub it on the new kitten to get his scent on it and give it to sadie so she gets used to it.
