What to do if your cat doesn't accept a new family member: experts advise
31.03.2024 17:30
Cats value their territory so much that they not only react with hostility to a new pet, but even a new family member is not accepted right away.
They show their character in different ways. They can start fighting, mark furniture and the owner's property. In a word, the cat will start to shit.
Experts explained what can be done in such a situation.
No amount of persuasion will help here, but hunting a cat with a slipper is also a waste of time. It will be a war for survival.
So, follow the following plan.
First, adaptation
Give the cat time to get used to it.
Don't insist or force the cat to believe that the new person has come to the house in peace. Don't encroach on his territory and, if possible, meet him less often.
Secondly, emotions
Cats are quite selfish creatures.
You can win their favor much faster if you slip them something very tasty. And then more and more, until peace comes.
Thirdly, the veterinary clinic
If the cat doesn’t care about your kindness, doesn’t respond to pheromones and other sprays, is shy and avoids people, then take him to the vet.
A specialist will definitely find a way to solve your problem.
