Introducing new cats when moving into a new home that neither pet owner has lived in before?

concretebrunette asked:


Okay, I have a cat, and my boyfriend has one. In the future we plan on moving into an apartment together, instead of me moving into his house or him moving into mine. So we have a unique cat situation. We won’t be introducing cats to a house that already has cats. So not only will we have the trauma of a new house, but throw in a new cat as well. Neither of them will have the “home field” advantage. How difficult will this be?

    Cats will be the alpha cat and wont take long to find out but keep small sprayer just.
    For sure when you first get down on their own one of the house make sure you and your arms until they get along better.
