Scent Swapping

Exchange scents between cats using a cloth or toy.

Neutral Territory

Choose a neutral space for the first face-to-face meeting.

Supervised Meetings

Always supervise initial interactions to prevent fights.

Positive Reinforcement

Reward good behavior with treats and praise.

Gradual Increase in Time

Increase their together-time gradually.

Separate Resources

Ensure each cat has its own resources to avoid competition.
