A Cat's first hours at home

The best you can do is to go look for the cat in your car with another person. This way you can talk and calm the cat on your way home. Transport the animal on a secure and adequate basket. Ask the breeder ok the late owner for a bit of used gravel and some of its visual food. This makes easier for the cat to adapt. When you arrive home, take the transportation basket to a quiet room, open it and leave the cat to explore it calmly.

Let himself be caressed. Never hold him against his will ok make home come out from below the furniture with violence. Also, in the first hours do not leave the cat alone.

Out into the garden: Before the cat can go out into the garden, he must be completely familiarized with the house and to consider it as his territory. This may take about 14 days. Only then can you open the door into the garden and to permit him to enlarge. His territory progressively.

At first, the door must be always open, so the cat may return to a place he know and trusts in case something frightens him.

Many castrated animals of certain age prefer to be near its usual habitat. All cats, including sometimes the castrated ones, like to explore vast territories contrary to the female cats that prefer known surroundings.

If near your house there are streets with lots of traffic, consider in not letting the cat out of the house, to prevent him from being injured by a car. If the house in near fields forest or pastures, the danger of being insured by a car is lesser, but the cat could enter mantic grounds. Some hunters like shooting free cats, because they believe they are competitor in the hunting.

Get a cat get used to another cat: It is easy for a kitten to get used to another kitten and to live together. Generally, there isn't much problem when a younger cat has to get used in living with an older cat. The hard part is to make two adult cats get used to living together. In any case, you have given time to both cats to accept each other.

At first, protect the new comer from the oldest resident, with a fence, for example between two rooms. When both of them can get near each other peacefully through the fence, then we can risk to leave them alone without surveillance.
