How to make your new cat feel at home
So the big moment is finally here! You've just adopted a new cat or kitten from the shelter local or rescue, rampaged through the pet store to stock up on supplies, toys and treats, and visited the vet for health checks, vaccinations and sterilization. Now is the time to introduce your new kitten home and the rest of the family. With just a little planning and patience, you can ensure that their period of adaptation Cats will be just as quick and stress free as possible.
Home is where the catnip is: Cats are, by nature, highly territorial, which means that having a place to call their own is very important for your emotional well being. Your new cat is in a state of stress of being in a shelter or given up for adoption, and brought to a strange new house only increases stress. His goal is to help make your cat feel comfortable and as quickly as possible. When you bring your cat to new home, confined to a single room for at least the first few days (with food and garbage, of course!). While this may seem cruel to the standards humans, is actually a great kindness to allow your cat to claim ownership of a new small territory at their own pace and without competition.
Some shy cats can hide under the bed for as long as a week, while others are ready to go home and go exploring after only one day. The important thing is to leave the cat appear every time you get ready. You should spend more time in the room with the cat, but you should never try to force out of hiding. The cat you know he is ready to begin exploring more of the house. Be sure to leave fresh food and water at all times, and verify that it consumes. He even stressed cats like to eat, so no food for 24 hours or more is probably a sign of the disease and warrant a trip to the vet.
Meeting Family: Of course, everyone in the family, especially children, are excited about the new arrival. Children should be invited to visit the new kitten in her room one at a time. Try to keep your children quiet and seated during these visits, so as not to frighten the cats, if you're not used to children. If the cat is friendly and approaches that offers an outstretched hand to sniff.
If the cat accepts this, you can pet the cat gently. As the cat becomes familiar with the child, he can play a cat toy on a string or a stick. NEVER allow your children to encourage a kitten to pounce on your fingers (or yours, for that matter). It may seem cute at first, but a cat growing leaps and biting the hand in the game can be very painful or cause bleeding. Teach your children to properly maintain a cat with one hand on the butt and the other the back, held against their bodies. And do not leave young children unsupervised with your cat.
Comforting Cats Jealous: The Cats are like children in many ways, so it's no wonder that your pet can be more jealous of a newcomer. You can be afraid or worried about losing territory that is about to be replaced. Extra love, care and patience during this transition will help to reassure your pet that is still the center of your universe! Be ready for you to take from one week to one month before the new cat is accepted by the resident cat. Before bringing home your new cat, make sure that both old and cats new ones are healthy and current on their vaccinations, including Feline Leukemia. Let your cat will have run of the house while the new cat is confined, so that means it is not being pushed out of their territory. Let sniff or paw under the door with your new cat, and elements of change to familiarize each animal with the other odors.
When it's time the two cats meet face to face, try to provide brief periods of contact, then gradually increase over time as they adapt to each other. Sure to supervise their visits until you are sure they are well alone, and be prepared for some hissing and growling, which is quite normal for cats who are learning each other. Do not yell or discipline or cat hisses or growls, and in the unlikely event of a fight break break with a water spray bottle or a towel thrown not in your hands. Keep the new cat to sleep in any of their favorite places of the old cats (for example, your bed) and providing each one separately with food and water bowls litter pans. Probably the use of others, but they appreciate having their own. Try to keep your cats over routine intact, and take every opportunity you can pet and praise your older cat. Above all, be patient, and one day you find your new preparation cats each other when they think it is not looking!
Friendly dogs and cats: Most of the same advice applies to the introduction of cats and dogs. Again, let dog has run of the house, and smell the cat under the door and scented items change during the early days. If you want to put a baby gate at the door cats room or take the cat to the house in a vehicle so that animals can see each other before they actually meet.
Make sure that the first home visits are supervised, the dog on a leash if you are unsure about how easy it is. Encourage your dog with gentle praise if it is friendly. If the cat goes your dog, do not allow the dog to chase, and do not force a cat that looks uncomfortable to be in the same room with the dog. Keep the first visits short, then spread as animals become familiar with others. Be patient, give them time, and soon I will learn to get along.
