I was showing a fellow cat rescuer friend some of Audrey’s early rescue videos the other day, and now watching this, it’s so encouraging to see how far Audrey has come! She is so confident and content, she’s like a different cat.
The fact that all cats can be completely relaxed once they leave the door is an amazing sign! They know they can't enter each others territory so there's no danger. Even though they're still uncomfortable to meet directly, there's no real distress in any of the cats. You guys have done such a good job! It always makes me so happy to see animals that are well taken care of both physically and emotionally. ♥
it's honestly surprising to see Bongji, usually the most brave and confident of the brothers, so afraid of Audrey, but it's good to see process even if it is slow! here's hoping they can have a churu date together at some point!
Audrey hasn't seen how big the Butter House is so she thinks, "This is it and it is all mine! With my own catio!" Monji and Bonji have seen the bigger part and wonder what she is doing in their place. Yogi just wants to know what her place looks like as he feels he own Butter House. He should never be block from an space. Why doesn't Hyugi go up? He talks all the time. I know when he is there, off camera, because of his particular sound. You would think they could sit there and talk and talk and talk. Ah, well. Just keep collecting more street cats...
요지는 이층에서 지키고 있나보네요 먼지봉지는 오들이 보자 빠른시간에 가 버리는군요 오들이 도련님들에게 대화도걸고 적극적이네요 그래도 이층을 잘 올라가는 도련님들 ❤❤❤ 시간을 많이 가지고 대면하다보면 언젠가 친해지겠죠 먼지봉지오들이 예쁘고 귀여워요 방석위의 요지도 귀여워요 먼봉휴요오 설 명절 잘 보내렴 메주님 쁘지님 즐거운 설 명절 되세요❤❤❤
I’ve always verbally comforted cats in this situation the following way. Since Bongji is so attached to his butler, whenever Bongji visits Audrey, Soo should calmly say, “Bongji it’s OK” and praise him when he doesn’t run away. Audrey really does have a very expressive face.
I'm so glad you are using Jackson Galaxy's book to learn how to introduce cats to one another. He has been doing cat behavior work for many years and has had great results.
Audrey talks a lot ❤😘 I love how vocal she is and how well behaved she has become 😊 The boys are definitely curious about their new roommate but still not sure about it. I have seen two stray male cats literally brawling and biting a chunk of each other’s fur and then developing bromance later on. Cats are unpredictable like that. Of course I don’t want your cats to do that, it’s just an example. They definitely need time to adjust to the scent and presence. Jackson Galaxy has amazing tips for cat lovers. I follow his RU-vid and Instagram channel. What I have noticed is that despite them being alarmed by Audrey’s presence, they do not display airplane ears, puffed tail and body or attacking other cats as misplaced anger/anxiety which sometimes stressed out cats do. But still keep an eye on the boys especially Hyuji, although I personally feel they are doing ok at this moment. The highlight of the video was cute Yoji in cat bed and cute Hyuji’s pink jellybeans 😻 The stray tabby cat is so round and cute 😍 I think it’s an unsterilised male cat because of the puffy cheeks which occurs due to testosterone in male cats, I could be wrong. I hope he stays safe 😊 Looking forward to see more of your cute kitties who bring smile on my face ❤
Oh no.. the street cat appears to be unneutered.. I think I see his peanuts and his cheeks have that chubby tomcat look. Hopefully you guys are able to get him trapped and neutered so he doesn't impregnant any other homeless kitties :T
Yuji seems fascinated by her whereas Bonji is rather shy bless him. It's probably the first time seeing a girl cat. Monji takes it in his stride and goes away to think about things. ♥️♥️
It's really good that the boys aren't upset when they are in the lower level of the house! They will eventually get used to each other, whether that be in a week or in a month. Good luck!
I agree about letting the male cats set the timing. I personally think the two younger boys will want to eat and interact with Audrey sooner than Monji and Bonji. Just don’t be surprised if Audrey hisses if they try to get too close by sniffing her in places she might not like. 😂😂
Kinda strange seeing Bongji as the "Scaredy Cat" and Yoji as the "Brave as Bongji" cat! XD Personalities of cats can be random at times! Also, it might help if you let your four cats smell and item with Audrey's scent on it, and Audrey smells an item with the four cats' scents on it. I heard it's so the cats can get used to and familiarize the scent of a new cat in the home.
I always figured Audrey would be the one who wanted nothing to do with the boys, but it’s the other way around! 😂. I feel like Audrey and Yoji might end up being good friends ❤
Ooohhhhh the boys are really interested in Audrey!!! Yoji was the first one to open up to her, Bongji is the alpha cat in the tribe but he’s still a bit intimidated by her though she’s very friendly and talkative to them, her “street experience “ has prepared her for almost any and all situations 😮🙀🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾😻😻😻😻😻😘❤️❤️❤️👍
Audrey: Why are you shy Bongji? Bongji: I'm scared. Audrey: What? Your brothers Hyuji and Yoji aren't scared. Bongji: I'm scared. Audrey: We need to talk.

When cats a group in the "wild", the girls always call the shots. Your guys are behaving exactly like "wild" males do. They are wary of that girl power! Audrey seems like she will be a nice bossy girl. I think you are doing the exactly right thing just letting them meet at the door. It will take some time for your guys to get used to that female energy, it's new to them!
Take your time. I had the open door meet and greet for 3 months before I gave my new female cat access to my two boys. They could see each other but couldn’t get access. Then I gave her access out, but they didn’t have access in. The boys were larger than her so I made the door opening just wide enough for her to come and go. She could only have access when I was home though. Then about 3 mos later after all was well she had free reign. There were only 2 scraps but nothing serious. She was only 9 lbs but an alpha type. So although the boys had no interest in being top cat she felt like she had to scrap with the one she thought held the top spot. Lol 😅 He had no idea he had it and gave it over willingly.
I think taking it slow is the best. Eventually by virtue of having the door open her scent will combine with theirs throughout the house and they will be use to it. Hopefully.
Giving snacks together is supposed be after feeding the cats on other end of a closed door for a time so they associate each others scents with the feeding schedule. It can take a lot of time for some cats and shorter for others. As you see Audrey seems very open. Hope one day they can integrate so Audrey can move even more freely ! - Audrey's attorney.
