035 Cat-Cat Introductions…What You Need To Know!

Episode 35 – Cat-Cat Introductions…What You Need To Know!   We see A LOT of Feline Behaviour Cases here in the UAE and, unlike other areas in the world, we see an over-representation of Inter-Cat Aggression cases, which means 2 or more cats living in the same household showing signs of hostility towards each other or even actively fighting with each other. This is a really stressful situation for everyone involved, including the cats involved in the hostility or fights, cats and other pets who are not involved in the fights and, of course, the caregivers.   But why do we see this so commonly in cats, why much more so than in other species? Well, this is all down to cats' unique sociability spectrums and Dr Katrin delves deep into this at the beginning of the episode.   What you will learn from this episode: 1.     Whether you should add a second (or third or fourth) cat to the home. 2.     Which cats are more likely to form good relationships with each other. 3.     How resources influence the social dynamic. 4.     How to practically begin an introduction process. 5.     When to ask for help!   This is a complex and often frustrating scenario and impacts everyone's wellbeing and welfare so we really hope you enjoy this episode!   If you liked this episode of the show, The Pet Behaviour Chat, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, share, and subscribe!   Facebook Group: Join The Pet Behaviour Community on Facebook   You can CONNECT with me: Website: Visit my website Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Instagram: Follow Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on Instagram Trinity Veterinary Behaviour Facebook: Join us on Trinity Veterinary Behaviour's Facebook page Trinity Veterinary Behaviour YouTube: Subscribe to Trinity Veterinary Behaviour on YouTube LinkedIn Profile: Connect with me on LinkedIn   Thank you for tuning in!
