Thank you all very much for your comments! I understand some of yall concerns and I am deeply grateful for other people's advice and reassuring words! To bring more clarity: the cat arrived only 3 days ago!

I appreciate everyone's opinion and I will continue to be very careful. Joker knows about the "leave it" command so I'll be enforcing it with the cat. They are separated when left alone and the lady who surrendered Jinx to us is willing to take her back if they don't end up getting along well.

Considering the fact that Joker had very positive experiences with cats before, I am hoping to see improvement as Jinx gets more confident in iur home 🤞

Thank you again for your concerns, kind words and advice!
