Introducing New Pets

New pets must be properly introduced to your cat. That means that introductions should be done slowly and with care to avoid creating hostility between animals. Animals should never be thrown together and left alone to "work things out". There are established guidelines to follow for successful introductions.

See "Introducing a new cat" and "Introducing a new dog".
