Alex, Sasha, and Molly
My family has adopted 3 cats from Homeward Pet--two young girls about 14 months ago, and a little boy right after Thanksgiving. It took the girls (from different litters) exactly two days to get used to each other, and they've been buddies ever since. It was a different story with Alex, our newest family member, an orange tabby. After two weeks of the girls hissing and swatting under the door of the room where Alex was staying, we found that heavy applications of Feliway Spray helped reduce anxiety and aggression significantly. Sasha, our tortoiseshell, loves to play and sleep with Alex and is careful to keep her claws sheathed during their light tussles. Molly, our sleek black teenager, is much more feisty and it's no holds barred when the two of them go at each other. Alex will often approach Molly cautiously and present his head for grooming, closing his eyes in ecstasy if she deigns to comply. They are a true joy for the entire family, and we are grateful for their presence every day.
