Max hates other cats

He hates them coming into his territory, gets upset when he sees one out the window

So when we rescued Molly, we introduced them SLOWLY

First 2 weeks, she was in her own room. We put things that smelled of her in his favourite places

Then we let them eat treats on either side of a doorway covered with a scarf. They saw each other briefly

Then short times together, slowly getting longer

It worked. Now he tolerates her

And she LOVES him

Molly, a black and white cat, is standing on a balcony, her front paws up on the railing, and her nose in the air happily. Behind her, Max, a black cat, is sitting on the corner of the balcony, looking out at the world a bit grumpily.
