Re: [Felvtalk] Cats not getting along
Laura, I feel for you I had one like that! He tore up all my other cats, and it got so bad I had to keep him in one section of our house. He was about two when we rescued him and we had to do this for ten years until he finally got so old he decided he'd rather sleep than fight! Lorrie On 12-19, LauraM wrote: I can handle a few spats. I can no longer handle the aggression displayed by one of my cats towards several of the others. It's so bad that I'm seriously considering? rehoming him into a single-cat household.

Re: [Felvtalk] Cats not getting along
Natalie, I'd like to hear about your method of introductions. and I'd love to know how many cats you have. I assume you must rescue too. I have what I think is an excellent set up here. I have an entire little guest cottage attached to our house that has never housed guests other than cats :-) I have a screen door on the front and a new cat lives in there for a few weeks while the other cats look at him/her sniff, hiss etc. When I finally let the new cat out they are already well acquainted with my other cats. I also own a cageless no kill shelter in a large building I bought in town. This is also for rescued cats, who can roam through 4 large rooms furnished second hand furniture, cat condos etc. Oddly enough the cats there get along fine, so I wonder if my cats at home are fighting for my attention?? I give them all pets, kisses, bushing and lap time, but when several cats want to get on my lap at once all hell breaks loose :-( Lorrie 12-19, Natalie wrote: We probably have the largest number of cats!

Re: [Felvtalk] Cats not getting along
My bf and I care for over 20 feral cat colonies a day (around 143 cats) and what I see in the colonies is much more peaceful than what is going on in my packed condo. I do see some scuffles perhaps at larger colonies or those in problematic spots, but most cohabitate pretty well though their preference would be to each have their own feeding dish or pile of food which is not always possible. That's mainly when we see scuffles, or if an unneutered male shows up (until they are done). Of course once they finish eating, they've got all the room in the world to spread out and ignore each other if desired so that is probably the key. My place is a battle zone but it's definitely an issue of too little space. On Sun, Dec 19, 2010 at 1:14 PM, Bonnie Hogue ho...@sonic.net wrote: Wow, Lorrie, good for you for taking in 14 felines! I often wonder how these cat colonies one reads about manage, for I've never seen a totally peaceful group. In my experience, everyone finds their spot where they are comfortable and secure, then that's it. One furry body out of place and the whole bunch get in a tizzy. But, as I told my little clan this morning while it was pouring rain outside, At least you guys are warm, dry, safe and don't have to hunt for your next meal.

They are affectionate with me, but not each other. They either ignore each other or have hiss, spit, yowling arguments along with a few well placed swats at each other. I wonder if this is because all 14 of my cats were rescues who all arrived here at different times. None of them were kittens who grew up together, tho some were kittens when I took them in. The kittens are accepted better by the others, and the most difficult cats to introduce are grown males who remain a threat to my other males even tho they've been neutered immediately. Our house is large, and they have plenty of room, toys, climbing trees, cat condos as well as port holes to three outside enclosures. You'd think this would make them happy, but the tension in our household is ongoing, unless all 14 happen to be sleeping at the same time :-( Lorrie On 12-15, Bonnie Hogue wrote: Beverly Oh, how I long for a home like yours! I agree about the intro, and I've tried to do it right with everyone. The most recent one was Lucky, and he's doing well and seems accepted by all. But there are tensions, especially between Stormy and the other girl, Miya Chan (she's a rehabilitated feral). I think boy cats are mellower, more accepting.

Bonnie - Original Message - From: Beverly Hi Bonnie, I must beg to differ that most cats prefer to be the only! I have five male cats (aged fifteen years to six months) in our small apartment and they are all best buds. They rumble and tumble and play, and curl up and sleep together when they get tired. I don't think any of them would do well as an only cat. Most of my friends and family also have multiple cats that are great friends. It's all about the introduction - a slow, careful introduction of a new cat to the resident cats can lead to a very happy relationship. Just my two cents.

Re: [Felvtalk] Cats not getting along
Yes, rescue group since 1992. I have over 70 cats - in our house. Huge garage, built condos there, and they have outdoor enclosures for warmer weather. I use full-spectrum lights and no one has been sick in years (unless they come in with something). I put two large cages together, door to door, one half is for sleeping and food, the other half for litter box. Liter boxes have holes punched on edges, tied to cage with twistemsno horrible accidents with the whole box tippedThen I use this double cage wherever the cat needs to be introduced. Siometimes, it takes only a few days. Then I open the cage, and the new cat can use it freely fo privacy or not. Most often, all the other cats get into the cage (they love it!). We also have built a screen door between a TV room and a bathroom where we either introduce new cats to the others, or keep them when they're sick and need to be medicated. That way, they don't feel alone and can communicate with other cats through the screen door. I found a good site which I sent it to the felvtalk group the other day - but it may have been too large and not have gone through. Did you get it? Am rushing right now - vet visits all afternoon.
