Merkin Baller said:Nuala is turning out to be one affectionate & gentle kitty. Her temperament seems perfect so far. She does have something going on for which we’ll need to isolate her for at least 5 days until the meds (hopefully) do their trick. (Big thanks to Glowgirl… her advice prompted me to call the vet in advance of the appointment & it helped us get ahead of this). We feel bad leaving her cooped up in this room, but it’s only temporary, & it’s not a bad thing, Chains is going to need the time to adjust. She’s fuggin’ PISSED about there being a new cat in the house.Here’s her “I just hissed 3 times at an empty carrier” face.0

My cats are indoor cats only, but I am sure they would not want to go outside today either.Post edited by GlowGirl on0

Overall she's doing really well; she's getting increasingly pissed about being cooped up in the room, she's made multiple attempts to jump over the baby gate when we come in... one of the times she crashed the gate & knocked over, it was pretty funny. She's doing fine health wise from what I can tell... fingers crossed the medication is working, I'm sick of pinning her down to squirt liquid meds in her mouth. She's been as good about it as she could be considering she hates it as much as I do. No aggression when it happens, she just tries to wiggle away & whines a little.
Chains is a bit of a tougher case... we've only allowed them to check each other out through the gate, and there's still more hissing from her than I like. Granted, it's only been a week and a half, but we really want to let Nuala, out into the rest of the house. It's hard having the zoomies when you're confined to one room.
RE: Nuala's adjustment, she's doing great being in the new home. She's super affectionate w/ me & my wife... very sweet and gentle; if anything she gets mad when we leave, she doesn't like being cooped up & left alone.
Fingers crossed for a clean BOH from the vet next week.0 -
Good luck. I have a tip for squirting meds in their mouth. One of my cats has IBD and she has been on meds since June where I have to squirt a small dose in her mouth twice a day. What I do is wait until she is eating then I just lift her head really quick and squirt the meds in. She doesn’t even flinch and goes right back to eating. Just make sure the medicine doesn’t have to be given on an empty stomach.As far as Chains - there may be more hissing and growling when you let Nuala out. It is inevitable. I think I mentioned that since my older cat was so friendly and social with my other cat I thought he would take to the new cat really fast. Nope. It took a good two weeks and he was a wreck. He even threw up a few times and wasn’t eating as well. I tried that Feliway plug-in stuff for a few weeks and it seemed to help a bit. Now they are best buds. So give Chains some time.0

Appreciate all the advice. Chains is a diva & always has been… I can tell there’s a genuine curiosity and after encountering N, C is very friendly & affectionate w/ us, the opposite of anxious or agitated. Baby steps… I think they’ll be fine.Fingers crossed there’s little need for much more medicine, but appreciate the advice all the same.0

It’s been a long first week of coexistence, but there’s been significant progress over here.0 -
