My cat is terrified of the new cat

always make sure that you give her as much attention if not more, just to show her she wasn’t being replaced. Eventually they will get used to each other. Even if they aren’t ever good “friends” I don’t think that she will ever attack her, viciously anyway.

My son was reading some good advice about this. The first stage was to keep them shut in separate rooms, I’m afraid. The idea was to let one out round the house at a time, so that they get used to the scent of each other and become familiar with the idea that another cat is around. Stroke one cat and then go to the room and stroke the other, to send the message that you accept the scent of both cats. Then gradually begin to let them share the same space. It sounds like hard work, I’m afraid.
