Hi Bonnie, Thank you for taking your aunt's cat. From description you gave us, it sounds like Princess will be no problem at all to integrate into your household. I think she will be more comfortable confined to one room at first, as it is overwhelming to have an entire house plus 4 other cats

You will be fine. I suggest you rub the other cats with a towel and put it where she can smell it and do the same to her. This really does help. I love Feliway and use it frequently but I use the spray. I use Rescue Remedy too. On Jul 29, 2011, at 4:20 PM, Bonnie Hogue wrote: Hi Everyo
