Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Hunter and Ozzy "Met"
Accidentally! I opened up the folding door to Hunter's part of the house and he scooted out between my legs (will expect and prevent that in the future!). Ozzy was right behind me and my heart leapt into my throat waiting for disaster to happen. What happened was that Hunter walked over to Ozzy and gave him nose kisses which Ozzy returned. They just sniffed at each other for a while until I could intervene - no hisses, no growls, no swats, no posturing even, just friendly sniffs. I then got Hunter scooted back into his own area. I just hope that when it's time for the real introduction that things go that well with the rest of the clowder.

I did that with Sam and when the time came for him to be released into the population it helped that he had friends to buffer his encounters with Hobbes.

I know that there is only a *very* small chance that Hunter may have picked up FeLV just days before we brought him in, but I'm still worried about that. He can't be definitively tested and pronounced "negative" again for another 6 weeks.

When I took the rescue "Spotty" (now named Egon) to the vet to be checked before The House of Mews would take him, they tested him for that (among other things). I got the results the same day so I was able to take him over right away.

However, the vet said that if he had been infected in the previous few days it would not have shown up on that test - that it takes at least 60 days before the antibodies show up in the blood and cause a positive reading on the test strip and in the meantime he could transmit it to other cats with just a hiss.

Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek could be that you can start the introductions by taking Ozzie to hunter's area and letting them get better acquainted if they are non hostile hunger having a friend to start off might help, Lee > Accidentally! > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > See all my masters here: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ > Accidentally! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > I just hope that when it's time for the real introduction that things > go that well with the rest of the clowder. I think they're all going to be fine. Great news. kili > Accidentally! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > I just hope that when it's time for the real introduction that things go > that well with the rest of the clowder. Sounds very good to me. Lots of luck for the intros. Tweed |
