Beware of introducing a new cat to your old cat
Many years ago, I had a long time female house cat (that had been
taken from outside, as always). She was with me for about 10 years before I let another cat inside. That did not work out. She hated him. I know she was jealous. The situation was worse than I realized. It caused her lots of stress, some probably hidden. He died of an apparent heart attack when I was running an errand. They were separated at the time, so I know she didn't kill him. Nowadays, I have two former street cats as indoor cats. One is a hard-core feral female. The other is a perfect house cat, timid and very affectionate. Whenever I see them together, I thank my lucky stars. It's a wonderful sight. If I had to do it over again, I would have not introduced another cat to the long time cat that I already had, at least not without a guaranteed method of putting the new cat back where it came from if the two did not get along. -- I know this is old news to some. |
