Re: OT: Cat question

I wouldn't expect it in hours, maybe even days. Some folks recommend putting a new cat in a separate room for a few days.

Long as no one is getting hurt, I say just let them be to work it out. Some cats will become friends with a new one, some will at least tolerate them, if barely, and others may never really care for having them around, but I think they will adjust.


Thanks, but the thing is our original cat, Sheba, is still traumatized
hours later by the fact that another cat was in HER house. She was
scared to death of Shadow and can't seem to realize that Shadow is not
in the house now. 

You think this is something she'll get over and the 2 of them could
coexist? I don't really care if they become buddies. I just want them
to be able to coexist without physical harm or emotional trauma. (Yes,
I think animals have emotions.)
