Bringing a new cat home requires planning to avoid territorial fights. Follow this step-by-step veterinary guide to pet integration.
Scent Swapping and Sanctuary Rooms
Isolate the new cat in a separate room. Swap blankets and bedding so both cats adapt to each other's scent before meeting.
Controlled Visual Introductions
Use a mesh gate or screen to let them see each other during feedings, building positive associations before direct contact.
