How To Introduce Your Cat to a New KITTEN! 

Just wanted to let you all know that in the last 2 days it was the first ever time that Charlie and JJ curled up next to each other... More to the point, Charlie moved to curl up ON TOP of JJ in their Cat Tree House. Today I posted a little video where she lets him wash her for a few seconds.... We are doing great and hoping that all you guys with the new kittens are doing so too!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I simply love JJ's attitude in all this: "whatever, I'm a kitten"😂 So adorable!

Hi Jackson, this is Lavinia from Budapest!!! Thank you so much for the video today!! We are nearly 6 weeks in with JJ and it is a success. Based on other videos of yours we have tried different tricks: I did what you actually suggested and emotionally detached myself from guilt, with my husband we both played with the cats at the same time in the same room, tried to give them treats at the same time (Charlie has never been stimulated by food, she likes strong cheddar but if she is in a mood no food works!), I have fed them at the same time patiently waiting to see if the distance from each other would shrink, and after JJ trying his smart loving movies to win Charlie's heart, a week later, something happened.... I will send you the new videos with the latest updates on them, worth watching! 😃😁 Thank you again for your brilliant suggestions as always! We are still learning from them both, at times 😊😁👍. Keep in touch!

Presently in the process of introducing a kitten to the resident feline. During one of their meetings we got a stand off where the resident just stared and growled. The kitten, being a kitten, got tired and just tucked himself in to sleep in front of the resident cat. She looked at me as though kitten had broken about 60 cat laws and got so confused that she stopped being upset and turned into a purr ball.

Watching this video after bawling my eyes out because I feel exactly the way you described. It's good to hear that my cat doesn't hate me or feels miserable in this situation Edit: just coming for an update no one asked: my two cats like each other :) they play, give baths to one another and sleep together. After just one week my cat already accepted the new member of the family

I have to pause halfway through and thank you so much for addressing the human narration aspect of this. Im one day in to introducing the new kitten to my 3 year old boy and I’m so tied up in guilt over thinking my boy hates me now. It honestly made me cry hearing that I have to detach myself from the guilt, because it’s not helping the situation. This video really helps in something I never knew was going to be an issue in introducing a new kitten to the house. Thank you so much.

We just adopted a kitten today, and I’ve been feeling SO GUILTY😅 this video helped us so much, thank you!!

"That's right, we are in Budapest and not the Wild West" I wasn't prepared for that 🤣🤣

This is exactly how my 10 year old cat is acting towards our new 6 month old kitten we just got 5 days ago. I have hope they will get along soon!

Currently 36 hours into bringing my new kitten into the home. I'm laying down in my walk-in closet with said kitten and watching this video. 1 year update: It took about two weeks until they both felt comfortable around each other. They don't cuddle together since the younger cat has much more energy than my other one. Older one still hisses when the younger one gets a bit rowdy. They both eat next to each other and they sleep at the same time. Overall, it has been very good.

I have only had two adult cat's that I have introduced 2 kittens to. At different times in my life. I was very lucky with the older cat accepting the kitten in just a couple of hours. Sounds like I got really lucky!

Omg I needed this! We just adopted a 10 week old kitten and are currently in the process of introducing him to our two resident cats. Can't wait to tune in. Update: We are 8 weeks in with the new kitten and the cats all tolerate each other. My male tabby allows the kitten to cuddle with him sometimes and even grooms him. But he still growls/hisses at the kitten when he is too playful. I hope this will go away soon.

Pray for me, y’all! I found a tiny kitten in a busy street today and snatched him up quick! He’s in the bathroom quarantined until the vet tomorrow. I have three adult cats, all rescues. Really hoping I can do this correctly again. I’m guilty of letting them free feed and sharing 2 large litter boxes has never been a problem. I have some things to sort out adding one more to the mix.

I used your methods to introduce my 2 year old to a new 4 month old kitten. It only took a few weeks before they could eat next to each other, no hissing, no growling, etc. Now they play like crazy and take naps together and I know they're confident and comfortable with each other! I mean, obviously the kitten was fine and just wanted to play but my older boy needed his time and space. :) Anyway, by following your tips @Jackson Galaxy we had a successful introduction and they are super close brothers from another mother! Thanks for doing what you do! I think more people need to understand cats better and realize that they are amazing and perfect when you give them everything they need. A happy cat is a non-destructive cat!

I must say that our ginger kitten at 6 weeks old tried to take over the house (and all three of the poo boxes). JJ is being a good little kitten. Ours was like Hammy in "Over the Hedge"!

I have an established adult cat (she just turned 1 on the 3rd) and I adopted a kitten 4 days ago. At first she didn't like the kitten. All she would do was hiss, growl and grumble. But now they are laying beside each other and sleeping. I'm so happy that they're starting to get along. Occasionally the older one will raise a paw as a warning when she's uncomfortable, but she's chilled out a lot with her baby brother and I'm happy.

Cats are no different to any other animal when it comes to relationships- they take time and sometimes, they just don't like each other enough to snuggle but, will happily coexist if they have their own space and attention times. As long as they aren't ripping each other apart or shutting down completely- let things happen in time and allow time for trust and adjustments to a new room-mate form.

I followed all your steps from previous videos. I adopted a 9 week old in April, I already had a 1 year old. In 5 days, they were grooming each other, cuddling and playing. They are inseparable 😻

Oh my god i just needed to see this video! I’m adopting a rescued cat in a week and i felt so guilty already towards my cat that i have, idk why bc i felt like “Uh oh i’ll stress her and maybe she won’t feel loved” but it’s silly from me to think that she’d hate me. She needs a companion since she just HATES being alone when i’m off to work. 🥺 My cat is a little over a year old and the rescue is like 5 months old by now! I’m excited and ready to try my best. Thank u

The introduction dynamic between my first two cats was quite something. But I understood it and watched. My first cat was Dandylion, RIP, 15yrs. Got him "when the kittens were ready to leave the farm" as it were. So pretty young. About two years later I got Yawp kitty, RIP, 16yrs, from the same place at about the same age, different maternal lineage (paternal unkown in both cases). When I first brought Yawp home, Dandy wasn't havin' it, and not just hissing. For the first week or so I'd sometimes see Yawp just sitting somewhere staring into space minding his own business, Dandy would walk by, stop, look at Yawp a few seconds, then WHAP! him on top of the head. Clawless of course. Yawp would duck down and be like, "Okay okay, I get it." soundlessly. I knew they were just "sorting out the situation." But then I have many pics of them cuddled to a furball. I Got CRAZY lucky when I got Nippers, now about 3 yrs, a few months after Dandy died. From a different farm, Nippers was brought to me around 6 to 8 months old. First off, he immediately took to adorably nipping the tip of my nose and fingers - he still does the fingers, but sadly not the nose. He turned instead to attempting to ram his entire head up my nose. To this day. Anyhow, I digress. SO they bring Nippers in (they had called him Lovey) and after the lovey nipping sat on the couch. Yawp came in, safely, from around the back of furniture with a clear path of escape, and they just kinda air-sniffed toward each other from a couple feet away. No hissing. Quickly direct nose-sniffing. No argument. Within two days Yawp was lovingly cleaning Nippers. I lost Yawp to cancer about three-ish months ago. Both Nippers and I agree it's time to look for another kitten. I've applied with the local animal shelter, Mew Haven. Another wonderful video sir, thanks! :)

Jackson, you need to stop reading my mind. First you posted your video all about kittens the day I brought my two new kittens Apollo and Crepes. Then you posted this video right before we started introducing them to my older cat Pepper. Well done

Hello from Japan! I have 2 cats and welcomed one young female cat 2 years ago. We had a very hard time for the first year (fighting, bullying, spraying etc.,). Your TV programs, videos and book gave us a lot of hope and courage and we were able to believe they would get along some day...And they are now!!! They are not super good friends but they can live together. Thank you very much!!!

Not sure if you'll see this, but today I'm going to start introducing my 14 year old girl to a kitten. Hoping for the best!

I followed your instructions from your old videos. We successfully introduced an 8 week old kitten to my 8 month old baby. They are now literally inseparable and obsessed with each other. The new kitten is a female and the existing cat was a male. Thank you so much for all of your videos and tips! The main thing is to take it slow and to not let them see each other, only smell each other. Positive associations are also huge!

I've suddenly strarted crying when you said the thing about guilt. My older cat is my world, I've been feeling so much guilt since we adopted our sweet new kitten. This helped me a lot, thank you. 🤍

Hello Jackson! My wife and I are big fans of your shows. So, we have to older cats, 1-F 3.5yrs old, 1-M 2yrs old. We just adopted a 9wk old Kitten this week. Prior to us doing so, we visited the owner of the kitten wearing specific clothing to let the kitten "scent" while we were playing with it. We also played videos of a kitten Mewing with the phone under the shirt, and the cats would come to the sound. They could pick up the scent and hear the sound. Knowing a cat hearing a kitten mewing in trouble or crying always brings an adult to come inspect. We brought home the kitten on Friday afternoon and have it in a separate room of the house. Our adult cats picked up on the scent and crys from the kitten and knew something was different. Leo, our Male orange tabby was not interested at all. Wide eyed, tail low, quick movement around us. Joey, the female, was acting the same for a short bit, but would stay close with tail up and answering our calls to interact with her. My wife works from home so she has our kitten in the office with her, gated in the room and no line of sight for the cats unless they stand on the kitchen counter and see where the kitten meows are coming from. We bought a plug in pheramone calming device to help with the new scents and sounds. So far, the adult cats have been walking around the office during the day and listening and trying to see what is making the noise. We also did bring the kitten into the living room while our adult female cat was in there too. Joey did his a few times upon seeing the new kitten and Rebel (the kitten) was just playing. Joey did take a swipe at him and he backed up quick. but, Joey didn't run away. Just moved a few feet away and stayed to see what would happen. We have tried feeding all animals from both sides of a closed door. close to smell the others but not in line of sight. The kitten don't care, but the other cats aren't feeling it. on the up side of this, our Shih-tzu dog is loving having a new friend to play with! We are trying to move at the slow pace you talked about in your shows, trying to cross-scent and interact in a mild pace for all to accept the new smells. I have a feeling Leo (male) is going to be a bit of a hard nut to crack with the new kitten. Our shih-tzu is already defensive of the kitten if the others try to attack him, but she has always been that way with pets we have had in our family. Any advice would help, would love to share vids of what we are doing. Thanks for your time to read, if you can. I know you get tons of messages.

Hi Jackson. You are a godsend!!! Thanks so much for your posts about introducing a new kitty. We adopted our Ragdoll/Burmese kitten Peach (very very timid girl who wasn't socialised with humans) about 12 weeks ago. We kept her separated from our male tuxedo cat Mario for a long while because he has had a tendency to be a bully. It seemed like we were keeping them apart for so long, but it is now working out beautifully. It was a gradual introduction and I did a lot of your recommendations for introducing them to each other. They are playing with each other now and all the hard work has been totally worth it. I am so excited for their relationship now!

I currently have 2 cats I am juggling. I keep one in a bedroom until the indoor-outdoor kitty goes outside, and then I let the indoor-only cat out of the room to roam around the home. The indoor-only cat is a temporary visitor, but acts like he ownes the place(normal cat stuff), but , he launches himself in attack mode as soon as he sees the indoor-outdoor cat. I thought indoor-outdoor cat was the aggressor, until I witnessed indoor-only cat instigating every altercation. Indoor-outdoor cat is a doestic shorthair(maybe with siamese) and the indoor-only cat looks to be a dwarfed mainecoon mix. Indoor-outdoor cat is 4.5, indoor-cat, age unknown.

Omg thank you so much!! Im adopting a kitten next week. Puuuuurrrfect timing! Thank you Jackson, much love to you!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I wish it was as easy as introducing DOGS 😢😢😢

The comments are encouraging. Today my two feisty babies played and took treats for me together. Fingers crossed it will get better .

Honestly I'm so depressed, I introduced my two kittens to my. Older cats and they got used to em within a week, sadly one passed away due to parasites which the shelter failed to cure and kept insisting she was treated but she wasent since she had 3 types by the time she was at the ER. Even tho I had her for a few weeks, it feels like I lost a child. No more of her meowing whenever she saw me or climbing on my shoulder so she could just relax or falling asleep together. I'm gonna miss you pepper I guess what hurts the most is knowing you could had tried more to try to save her life, or being more keen on her state of health.

These cat introduction videos are so helpful and reassuring. I'm going to be introducing my 2 year old female cat to a new 10 year old male that I'm planning on adopting this weekend (if the meet and greet goes well). I decided that a calm senior cat would suit both me and my cat better than a kitten or a young cat. The new cat is described as being very sweet, gentle, quiet, and non-aggressive/gets along with other cats, so I'm hoping it will go well with patience and time. My cat is so chill so I think it will be ok in the long run after they get used to each other and my cat adjusts to sharing territory. Jackson I'm going to follow all the steps (without driving myself nuts because that won't help). I even have a screen door which I'm so excited about!

This is great info for an adult cat and a kitten. BUT we have been trying to introduce 2 adult female cats both calico, one domestic and one who used to be a feral cat for quite a long time. Unfortunately we aren't getting anywhere. It breaks our hearts.

We had a farm growing up with 10-15 cats at any one time who all were indoor/outdoor/revolving door. Nobody fought, everyone was spayed/neutered, all died of old age. As an adult, I’ve always had 3-4 cats, and they’ve all gotten along, more or less. I’ve had 3 pass away, ages 24, 22, and 19. This new group w/ all this drama is bewildering for me. I’m used to being mobbed at night, one cat on my head, each side, but now Phoebe guards the hall w/a “Thou shalt not pass!” snarl. Depressing.

I followed your recommendations to introduce our newly adopted 4 month old kitten to our shy 12 year old cat and it worked so well!! I was so nervous about how our cat would react to a kitten but with time and a lot of patience they’re now friends and they even play together!

Thank you Jackson x All your advice enabled me to bond my last 2 cats, (4 years ago) they used to snuggle up to each other, groom each other, and look out for each other. My first cat sadly died (RTA) earlier this year. I have been following your advice introducing my resident cat (7) to her new feline companion (14) all is going very well, we are in the playing in the same room stage and can leave doors open. Thank you for all you do x my super senior (newbie) is a little sweetheart, the rehoming centre closed a week after I adopted her. I honestly feel like I have saved her life. My resident cat even helped choose her from the photos! Who would believe it? Today they nose kissed for the first time, & had bum greetings to. Sorry if that is too much info, but I know other cat guardians will understand how the heart leaps with such things. X thank you for sharing your knowledge x

Wonderful video! Jackson, over years your videos have helped us successfully to not only introduce a kitten to a cat, and then two of them to a puppy, but to ultimately have them all content and happy. They are a real team! All your expertise has been instrumental!

The answer is "Mush their faces together and say 'Now kith,'" right? (I'm joking!)

The last time I introduced two cats to each other it was 18 year old She to my wife’s 14 year old Tom. We were amazed how well they got on with each other. We thought with their ages and genders there wouldn’t be any major fights, but they best friends from the get go. I remember once previously introducing two mature Shes and one didn’t leave my side for a second.

This came at the perfect time!! I just adopted a shelter kitten a few days ago and have had major anxiety about introducing him to my 1 year old Tortie. She's all hisses right now through the crack under the door so I was anticipating the worst, but this video gives me peace of mind and optimism for the future!

I really needed this video. We are only 2 days in and I feel so much guilt, even though I know this new cat is going to be the perfect companion.

I actually came back to this video because I am now in almost the exact same situation! I’ve introduced a new kitten to my 2 yr old resident cat and like Charlie she’s not super aggressive, but still hissing and on her guard a bit. So it was great to hear some reassurances cus it is very easy to slip into that guilt, I totally sympathize with Livinia 😅A rly helpful video!

one of my favorite stories from living with cats for 40 yrs: Brought home a 3 month old Alpha, first thing he did was arch his back and crab walk up to the resident Alpha. "Valentino! Be Nice!' He took one swipe, P-Nutt went rolling across the room, and that was that. Hilarious!!

It was a real surprise hearing you speaking in Hungarian, with pretty good accent! Amazing! :)

Jackson what a beautiful mission you have on this planet. We love you ❤

Awww, Jackson. You're so good!

Thank ya Jackson! Took 2 days to get them to respect each other and even play around together. First day my ragdoll was NOT having it at all. They are half brothers too btw. Ragdoll was first litter and my new grey kitten is from litter 3

Just wanted to thank you for all your videos, and especially for the suggestion to get a kicker!

Her story is EXACTLY on point with what happened and the sequence it happened in! And the ages are spot on. I was meant to stumble upon this to help me out! I’ve been planning on getting a kitten after my two year old cat for some time. She acts the same way towards him. It’s been tough because of the age gap and the new change. But my kitten loves his new home. Thanks for sharing this video!

The horror stories I am hearing during my research is terrifying me!!! This makes me feel better.

I watched Jackson Galaxy’s first video of introducing your cat to a new cat/kitten, and it worked so well! Baby gate with a towel and feeding them close but not too close. Now my 2 cats are best friends !

Omg I needed this! We just adopted a 10 week old kitten and are currently in the process of introducing him to our two resident cats. Can't wait to tune in

J.J. wasn't pesky at all. Thank you Jackson. You are the Cat Man!!

Hey Jackson, my fellow Hungarian, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos.

Really good to see this video. I started the introduction phase with my 2 and a half year old cat and his new kitty sister just a couple of weeks ago. He hasn’t growled at her in such a long time. But wow is she feisty haha, she is very keen to jump on and play with my boy (he will sometimes play back just fine and sometimes he’s like GET ME OUT OF HERE haha). I wish she was as well behaved as JJ 🥲❤️

Needed this. I got an 8 week old kitten last week. Met two of my other grown cats today, an 18 year okd and a 1 year older.

Just got a dilute torti girl! We have 2 other domestic shorthair mixes and we have been doing a lot of scent swapping allll weekend, minimal socializing, and she has a safe space and so do the other cats! I was never able to have cats growing up (allergic parents) and I’m now almost 27 and I just got my first baby! So excited and hopeful

Thank you so much for posting this we just brought home a rescue and our 2 year old (Rescue, who I thought would love to have a friend) is not happy but im learning from this video to take out the emotion and follow the system Eat Play Love… i was doing that but not playing separately…. and eating too closely! Even though the new baby.. Winnie, is in her zipped up pin her lay pen , i need to Move Ziggies bowl a bit further away. Such helpful solutions thank you so much!…. so today is my day one … hopefully i will see some love between them in a week I hope I hope I hope…. 😊

I'm here to tell you all that Jackson Galaxys techniques and suggestions WORK. Like for example baby gates (omg especially the baby gate!!) eating together, and using positive association, all of these tips have worked wonders for me. I had a grumpy gal who eventually we introduced a 6 month old kitten to, and with using these tips and most importantly TIME, they accepted one another and even laid near each other. Never more than a hiss between the two. Unfortunately the kitten grew to be almost 2 years old, then developed an incurable liver complication, and we lost him a few months ago. We found a kitten, 3 weeks old maybe, in the middle of the highway tonight. We had a long talk and we decided this is fate. My daughter thinks it's our last cat reincarnated. 🥺🥺💜 So here I am, looking at this video once again, on another introduction journey. This time I know to be patient, and to give it time. Little fella, welcome to your forever home. 💜 and heavens to Betsy, he needs a bath STAT!

I love how practical and rational you are. You definitely majored in psychology! I can tell 😻

I’ve never had to introduce cats before but when we got our new burmese baby we had to try. We had a 1 yo rescue who is a wall flower cat so we were super worried how it was going to work out. ESPECIALLY with a burmese kitten. So I did everything JG said. I even went to the breaded a week before to rub our kittens smell on a toy and bring it home for the rescue to smell. After 2 weeks of hissing and nervousness I was ready to give up and let them “sort it out themselves” but I persisted and after about 3 weeks it happened. They started grooming eachother. My older cat took on a real mum role with her new little brother and now they are like two peas in a little cat pod. I often joke that we ended up buying a cat for our cat. So happy though. Thanks Jackson!!!

Just found you on the internet with "cats from hell". You seem to be a very kind and heartful guy. I like that. I'm a cat daddy for one year now. The boy is sometimes giving me hard time not listening to what I say no to.. But they both very happy though. I'll keep watching. 🐬🐬🐬

Getting close to 1 million! Love your videos!!

My resident cat threw up when he met the new kitten after we kept them separated for a bit, so now they’re separated all the time and my older cat won’t eat his food close to the door of the room kitten is staying in, but I’m going to try to give him the treats near the door.

I'm getting a new kitten tomorrow and I have 2 adult cats who have known each other for a few years... very excited

I wish there were parts two to these questions, the results!

I just got two new kittens and I am still too worried for actual introductions. For one thing, I don’t have anyone to help me. For another, my older boy was so horribly bullied by his sister that they had to be kept separate for years. And finally, most of the house is one huge open space, so I can’t interrupt an interaction that goes wrong. If I try to gran Marko to get him away, he freaks. It’s the one thing that absolutely does not work. So after letting them sniff each other through a playpen, I’m kind of stymied. (Also, he used to be very food motivated to the point of needing a slow feeder bowl, but now, after a bout of pancreatitis, I have to beg him to eat at all). Argh.

Perfect timing!! I just adopted a 4 month old kitten and we’re in the process of introducing him to our 11 year old boy. Thanks Jackson!!

Thank you!! Especially for the advice to play with more aggressive cat separately. This has helped us soo very much!! And also to give them treats when they are in the room together. Now I have a hope again. I have been taking the more aggressive cat to my mum's several times in the past, it has been 6 months of unsuccessful introductions, but now I see that it could work! Please do everything you can so that more people know about you and see your videos 🥰🙏

This is really helpful, we have a 3 year old cat and just adopted a 10 week old kitten. The only issue is that our adult cat isn’t very food or treat motivated. He only plays when he wants to, not consistently. Hoping it goes well for both of them. The new kitten is extremely friendly (and a little goofy).

Wanted to say thank you for this and your other vids on how to introduce cats... just got my second cat a 10 week old rescue 3 days ago and with these tips she and my 3 year old other rescue are fast becoming friends. Day 1 was tough on my 3 year old... but mid way thru day 2 she opened up and now day 3 they are play hunting each other and trilling all over the place. Still being supervised but I definitely think she's been accepted by my older cat. (who was already a great and sweet cat)

I’m currently in the thick of trying to introduce 2 kittens (brother and sister) to our 3 resident cats. The 15 year old couldn’t care less, and the cat (5 years and has an autoimmune disease) who thought would be the problem, overnight turned into the chillest dude around with these kittens. And the one cat (3 year old, Bengal) that I thought was Mojito hisses and growls at them. Currently in the process of trying your techniques and hope it makes a difference

Wow! Thank you. This was so helpful! You have such a way of organizing those weird bits we've heard so they work!

Little JJ’s One smart kitten!

So excited!!! Alarm set lol

Hi Jackson, we have always found these videos so helpful! However, the introduction videos focus on cats who are new to each other. We have been through the reintroduction process many times with our cats who are litter mates as one is more nervous and fearful and there will sometimes be redirected aggression resulting in fights. Then it takes a couple of weeks for the scared cat to trust again (we separate and reintroduce like in your videos) eventually they are cuddling up together again and grooming each other and playing again. Separation is hard because one cat will recover faster and not understand why the other is off limits! It would be good to have more tips for cats who are usually close and have been friendly for years. Also there is always tension because we don't know when I fight will happen again as it is unpredictable as to what will frighten our most nervous cat!!! Thank you ♥️

A week ago I got a new Ragdoll kitten, since my 13-year-old, relatively active resident Ragdoll cat after I had to euthanize his 20 year old housemate last year. I was planning a nice, slow introduction after watching a bunch of your videos, but goofed due to sleep deprivation and left a door open on the evening of the very first day… apparently no harm done, one or two growls but both cats seemed more curious than anything else. Less than a day later, elder cat and kitten were pushing the ball back-and-forth in the "ball in plastic circular track" toy -- and a week after kitten's arrival, the two are still getting along just fine. BUT, I'm aware that I've been extremely lucky, especially since I thought my elder cat would be quite resentful at first. I think it's probably helping that I'm shutting the door of base camp at night so kitten doesn't inadvertently get squished by trying to sleep next to me until he gets a little older and less fragile. Elder cat seems to appreciate having me all to himself at night for now in addition to the extra playtime I'm making sure to have with just him.

ugh I just love you ..you are so smart and kind and unique and just one of a kind. 100% yourself through and through, I admire that so much. And I just love all of your videos, I watch them all lol =)

This video was recommended at the best time!! We brought a new kitten home a few days ago and have two cats currently. Introducing them (my current two to each other) was less stressful than this time around introducing one to two 🥲 but definitely felt a sigh of relief when you said to let go of the guilt! The first night I was so in my feelings and felt I made a huge mistake. It is getting better now! We are still in the process but hope they will all be able to be together soon!

I really wished we would get more updates from people when things worked out. I'm sure both Little JJ and Charly will make it out fine, but we need that follow up ! ❤️

It seems like this advice would be harder to follow for single people living alone who don’t have help to distract the other cat.

7:56 thank you 🥺 i needed to hear that 💓

Jackson I love the cut! Super clean super nice! Also I love watching your cat videos!

Your book and videos helped me so much with catifying my home! As a bonus I also have a nice bird feeding station

what great timing you have lol. My mom just took in a stray I was feeding on my porch. Slightly different situation (2 adults) but so much great advice! thanks for sharing your exertise!

This video is so helpful! I've got two boys, who are milk-brothers (only four days apart and got milk from the same mama cat). They were bonded and best of pals. We had to send one of them for a little trim at the groomers because he had some knots in his fur. When he came back from the groomer, his brother no longer recognized him and started hissing and growling. We've followed your steps on how to introduce them and they are now able to eat next to each other and play in the same room. We've still got some hissing from one of them when the toys and treats get put away but it's so much better than a few days ago. I hope we can help our boys work it out and they become best buds again. Thank you Jackson!! Don't know what we would've done without your videos.

Purrfect timing: I’m starting slow controlled introductions between the 2 newest Angora kittens to their daddy & rest of the extended cat family 😻😻

We live in a very cat safe cat loving retirement village in a small town in Zimbabwe. We all look out for each other’s pets but only feed our own pets 😅

This and the other videos are making me a perfect cat daddy. I was able to reintroduce my two kitten sibilings I adopted with two months delay. I was not shure I was a good cat daddy when I adopted the first kitten, so I adopted the weak one because...love. We are doing good now and we are a nice trio! Jessy and Milo send you much cat mojo.

Thanks! My adult son has come back home with his cat. We have been working to get my cat and his adjusted to each other. We are ready for the eat, play, love stage, but I couldn't find the videos where you talk about it. This came at the perfect time! Thanks!

Greetings from Hungary. I like your videos. Thank you.

I'm definitely grateful that when we took in Rogue, that Remy took to her without any problems. They have a pretty big age gap for cats (he's 15, she's going on 7), and he's loved her from the start. We brought home a tiny little thing and he decided "This belongs to me now."

Getting a new kitten next week and already have a one year old male, watching these types of videos really helps😊

Omg I sooo needed this!!! 😭🤧 Thank you. I have been doing the whole guilt thing with my rescue. You have given me hope!!!

This may seriously be the best video I've seen on cat -kitten introduction ^^ thank you so much!

You mention playing with them together but apart. But I'm a single person and Stitch (the kitten) definitely runs over to play when I try to play with Ninja (10yr old). Then Ninja gets hissy/growly because Stitch is too close. Any ideas for playing with them together but separately when you're only 1 person? I've had Stitch for about 3 weeks and Ninja is getting calmer but I'd like to play with her without Stitch getting her agitated.

For anyone else trying this and is stuck still. I would take each cat and play with them solo then bring them back with treats, communal play and food. I have an extremely territorial female and she still transitioned in 7 days. The key was individual play time for us. But I think the main issue here is that the human is missing

Just got a new kitten and was looking for this exact video a few days ago! Thank you

JACKSON!!!!!!! Thank you for this!!! I had similar worries as I'm about to introduce a kitten to an adult cat which I'm fully bonded with. I have my plan in place for introductions but for my emotional standpoint, this really helped!!!!
