Adding Another Cat To Your Household
When a new cat meets your resident cat, the two need time to get
used to one another. Careful planning is essential to a successful
introduction of a new cat into your home. Take it slowly. A pattern
of fear and aggression can be established in one or two encounters,
and is much harder to break than to avoid. A certain amount of
hissing and posturing is to be expected, but don't risk an all-out
fight. When in doubt, wait a few more days before proceeding to the
next step.

household with cats, or vice-versa.

Caring For An Older Pet
Pets are generally considered to be seniors at seven years old. For cats, that's roughly equivalent to 54 human years and for dogs it's about 44 to 56 years, depending on the dog's size. Senior pets slow down and might experience health conditions. These tips help you care for your senior pet.
