Very surprised that they did not go through the gradual introduction process as this could have been terrible. You keep a cat away from another cat using the litter box too . Very lucky this worked out so well. They are adorable cats but it is my experience with cats not raised together that it takes time and a special process to hopefully have them be friends. I am experiencing introducing a new cat to my other adopted cat and am not having a quick friendship.

@@Sandy-it5on I think this is after the separation, my cat acted the same way with her sister

@@SilverDawn-ox6py thanks that makes more sense because our new cat freaked out when she accidentally saw my first cat while I was having them separated. It is getting better after about three and a half weeks. 🤞they become buddies to play and sleep together. I never had two cats before who did not grow up together so I wasn’t aware of this getting acclimated process.

@@Sandy-it5on Been there done that. Our cats are still getting used to each other after 3 years! It's not fair for us humans to expect any given cats get along perfectly and love each other. I wanted to rescue another cat and, as long as they can co-exist, I'd call it a success.

@@pblw4276 I agree coexisting is a goal. But I realized after I rescued my first cat in July after not having any for eight years that I should have considered rescuing a pair who lived together as this cat needed a buddy because of his behavior. I am not a good cat substitute 😂. I always had cats in pairs before so did not consider the issue. Live and learn as we all know. Good luck with your decision🌺

@@kidenoka9779 why are you obsessed with commenting this...

When you realize that this is goin to last forever!!😊😊 2 peas in a pod

I hope they have a good life in the future

The cats did well eventually...the humans are idiots who obviously don't know and didn't research how to introduce cats to each other. Could have ended badly

@@rhiannonchaffer2588 Harsh words from "humans".

Oli

@@rhiannonchaffer2588 we get your point but maybe take it easy on the humans.

What's the best way, out of curiosity? Genuinely asking, as I'm unfamiliar with the process, thanks!

ikr pets give us the best type of serotonin

Aww bless 😭

Introduced properly? Please explain?

@@appolop8273 I’m not too sure but I think the proper way is to let them get used to each other’s scent first. People do this by keeping them in separate rooms I think

@@appolop8273 It's recommended to keep a new cat in a seperate room at first, and not to allow direct contact right away. Let the cats get used to each others' scent through the crack under the door or some sort of gate that lets them see each other, but keeps them separated. Feed them on opposite sides of the door/gate so they associate the other with something positive. The way they did it in the video, with one cat free roaming and the other trapped, often leaves the latter feeling vulnerable and anxious, which makes for a bad first meeting. They then potentially made it worse by trying to force the cats to interact. It worked out in this case, but the owners made it harder for the cats than it needed to be.

@@azyrennvd4814 I saw an episode on KZfaq, with Jackson Galaxy about that. However, this person seems to know the proper way of doing it. This person, when making such comments, had to tell us , what the proper way is, but they didn't. No matter how long it took, they came together at the end.

@@appolop8273 as others said befor, its best to have them get to know each other by scent first (through a door or something) and to feed them at the barrier so that the smell and sounds of the other gets linked to something nice. In addition its a good tactic to have a toy or some treats to distract the cats from each other, when they start the "stare down" when they finally first meet. Because you don't want to risk a fight.

That was so funny

I'm sorry for your loss. It's really hard to lose a pet you love dearly!

Its been 14 years living with both my cats and they still just about tolerate one another.

@Oh Boi Lien My thoughts exactly! I was stressed out even from watching it! I don't find it at all "cute" to force these two cats onto each other the way she did it. It's not recommended and could have ended badly traumatising one cat or both, resulting in bad behavior due to being stressed out all the time by the presence of a "stranger". This fortunate outcome was in no way guaranteed. She didn't provide a safe space for either of them; letting one cat harrass the other while pooping is just wrong! I am amazed these two turned out so well adjusted - or maybe we are simply not shown the negative results of this kind of unprofessional and unempathetic introduction... 😕

its trial and error. some cats will warm up to each other some you take it in steps. Personally, wouldn't do what they did but thats something I've learnt having a cat in my life.

@@ktinxx I couldn't make it all the way through the video!

I literally just commented that thank you for understanding

@@ktinxx I’m so glad you understand. I literally just commented the same thing. Well close to it but yeah you’re correct.
