Re: Introducing an older cat into the household, and double help.
You know when you go to have a look at a new house development, the rooms are small, so the developer puts small furniture in the property to hide the fact that the rooms are so small, well yesterday we went to pick up the 7 year old Bengal and I think the lady had big furniture, because the cat did not look too big. When I got Elvis home we found he was absolutely huge with a huge voice to match, during the course of the evening he showed us that if he wanted to get in a room he was prepared to do anything to do it, in this case, CLIMB UP a door using the stiles between the glazed panels, these doors took me two weeks to varnish and fit, full time.....
Anyway we have got over that problem now we have introduced him to the garden and the nature reserve in front.
The biggest problem is putting Elvis with our old solider, a 12 year marble Bengal, its not quite world war three but its pretty close, so far we have been able to separate them but at some point there will be a big clash.
Any ideas as to how we can ease the situation as at present we are feeling we have made a big mistake. To be fair its only 24 hrs into the relationship but Elvis is so big.
