Multi-Cat Introduction Map

New cat introductions go wrong when households rush the shared-space stage. Separate the variables and sequence them on purpose.

What matters most

  • Use scent and sound stages before visual contact.
  • Protect escape routes and vertical space.
  • Keep resource competition extremely low in early phases.

Working sequence

  1. Rotate spaces before forcing room sharing.
  2. Feed and play at workable distances.
  3. Advance only after both cats recover quickly.
