🐾 6 Tips for Keeping the Peace in a Multi-Cat Household 🐱
1. Gradual Introductions: When bringing home a new cat, start slow. Keep the newcomer in a separate room with its own litterbox and food. Let them smell each other through the door before supervised face-to-face meetings.
2. Remove the Vet Scent: After a vet visit, rub a towel on the returning cat, then on your other cats, and back again. This helps blend their scents and reduces tension.
3. Share the Resources: Make sure there are enough litterboxes, scratching posts, and toys for everyone. More hiding spots and cat trees with high perches can also help reduce conflicts. Avoid covered litterboxes if possible.
4. Neuter the Males: Neutering male cats can help reduce aggression, although it might not eliminate it entirely.
5. Safe Hiding Spots: Create safe spaces for bullied cats. A separate room or microchip-operated cat flaps can give them a place to retreat.
6. Consult the Vet: If conflicts persist, talk to your vet. Medications, pheromones, or advice from a veterinary behaviourist might be necessary.
Even if your cats don’t become best friends, these tips can help them live together peacefully. 🏡

‼️TRUST THE PROCESS ‼️
If there’s one thing our dog sports journey has taught us, it’s that the foundations are everything, and that good things take time. That goes for everything from general dog training and agility to obedience and rally. While it may be tempting to jump into running a full sequence as soon as you can, it’s important to remember to appreciate the little things, enjoy the journey, and learn to trust the process. This means taking the time to slowly build your dog’s love for the sport to create reliable behaviours and setting them up for success by training them in all different kinds of environments.
