Anyone have suggestions for how I can get this cat ...


... to get used to the idea of sharing a home with this cat?

Coat the smaller one in catnip?

I was leaning towards duct tape, but catnip sounds safer all around.

Get the smaller cat to lay down on a piece of cloth, or play with it, or otherwise scent mark. Bring that home, see how larger cat reacts.

You can then use the more normal socialization methods of keeping them seperated (smaller cat in one room only) until they get more used to the scent and sound of each other.

Those are the two traditional methods, that if you search online you'll probably find. Likely there are more out there.

Give them a common enemy. Adopt a Corgie.

If my apartment complex allowed dogs, believe me, I would have one already. :-)

Must be a twin. This is one of the cats I rescued from behind my office.

Isn't working for the HS great? I love spending time with the animals. :-)

You consistently win for cuteness on livejournal.

Thanks, I try! Did you see my previous entry, with the four pics of the gray kitten and his sibling?

Oh yes, as soon as I saw it I turned the computer screen towards Aimee (who was talking to me at the time) and she pretty much melted.

Just do it. Molly is never gonna give you her blessing, and she'll probably be really pissed for a while... but she WILL get over it. If people didn't have new babies, just because their toddlers thru fits about not being the baby anymore... then people would die off! Molly is more stubborn than your average cat, so she may really milk it for a while... but she'll come out for food and love eventually! Expect some serious pouting... but it will be ok!

She didn't hiss or snarl at the kitten-scented sweater I brought home last night (though she sniffed it for a long time). So, we'll see.

I have never had cats but I had a friend rub tuna on both of them and lock them in the bathroom and they were best of friends afterwards. Sounds weird I know.

I've heard that suggestion, but I'm loath to leave them alone without supervision.

My 6 years old Choco hated it when we first brought not-quite-two-months old Tsuki home.

That was a month ago. Now they play like brother and sister, and Choco licks Tsuki as if she was his baby from time to time... cuuuuuuuuuuuute... I'm sure Molly will like cutie kitten after a while :) !

I hope so. Right now she's indifferent unless she actually sees him, at which point she starts hissing.
