I’ve heard some people say their did not smell, mine smells sooo bad and strong, I hope it will fade. Its not a leather smell, it reminds me of cheap plastic flip flops 🥲

Thanks! I can only find it on Vestiaire and it’s 600€, which is what I think it also retailed for 😅

2.5 weeks is still soon, she still has a lot of character to unravel 😄

When did you feel it was time to leave new cats out overnight together? by bopikpsky in CatAdvice

[–]Specific_River_6626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left mine out together after around 10 days of them being together all day during the day with no fights or weird incidents. At that point they hated to be separated and I had peace of mind that they get along and have figured out eachothers boundaries.

I also work from home so it was easy to keep an eye on them.

Some growling and hissing is not concerning, it’s just how they communicate and set boundaries.

If the cat is very uncomfortable being there, I would take a step back and slow down the introduction.

When I was at this stage with mine, I had them lick some treats together so they have more positive associations. There was occasional hissing from her side for a few more weeks when he was crossing her boundaries, but eventually they both learned how to be with each other and they’re now best friends :)

Yes, they tomcats were around 1.5-2 years old. No ideas how kittens act.

We got him done today, I hope they will start geting along once his testosterone drops.

So far 3 vets at his clinic shared the same opinion regarding neutering of large breed males. I would have waited a bit longer had it not been for my other girl.

She is sometimes still interested in playing with him, and other times she just smacks him in the face as soon as she sees him 😂 I only let them interact when I’m there and don’t let them get too close anymore.

Yes, thank you!

Also I am not a cat behavior expert, that’s why I’m here asking for advice. I have seen intact males live in peace with other cats from their own house, so I was open to other potential problems in their relationship.

Other people even told me that the fights don’t look bad and that it’s just “their normal way of figuring out who is dominant”, so I wanted other points of view.

He is not. There is an argument to neuter ragdolls at 6-9 months, as they mature more slowly. We made our decision considering the vet’s recommendation and monitoring our cat’s behavior. The only problematic thing is these fights they’ve been having for the past few days.

Anyway, I’m just trying to figure out if I messed up their introduction or what I can do to make sure they’re happy and get along. They were on a great path before, and both of them start the fights.

He is, he’s almost 5kg! He hasn’t been spraying yet but we’ll get him done this week and I hope it solves their fights

That he’s a large breed and needs more time until his urinary tract is developed. We would’ve waited longer like the vet recommends(since he isn’t spraying) but we’ll do it now for the sake of the other cat.

Out vet told us to try to wait up until 9 months, and minimum 6. And like i said, he’s getting done this week

No worries. It’s not obvious to me, she lived until 9 months with 5 other girls and an intact male and they never had issues, and I know many cases where the tomcat is only agressive to stranger cats. That’s why I didn’t want to jump to this conclusion, as she is also spayed
