Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2005My partner and me
I have a BSH black cat, she is 11 months old, and i want my partner to move in with me, but he has a male maine coon cat who is 9 years old. Generally, they are getting on better, as they both spend a lot of time together outside; ( we live in the same property); but we are worried about how well they will be with each other living in the same apartment. They have started to get used to each other in the same apartment, and we keep them well supervised, but are there any tips you could give us as we would like them to get on well, and live together permanently. yours faithfully, Vicky & Shadow > I have a BSH black cat, she is 11 months old, and i want my partner to move > in with me, but he has a male maine coon cat who is 9 years old.

Get "new" toys so each one will not be offended with the other playing with its toy (more important for dogs but can apply to cats), and play with them both in what they consider to be neutral territory. Then be patient and don't force the issue. >> I have a BSH black cat, she is 11 months old, and i want my >> partner to move in with me, but he has a male maine coon cat who [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > to cats), and play with them both in what they consider to be > neutral territory. Then be patient and don't force the issue. I'd broadly go along with that, but be aware that not all cats react to catnip. My 10yr old Missy has no interest in it whatsoever..!

Have you ever tried fresh catnip? Maybe your cat is like mine and would prefer the fresh stuff.

It seems to work well for the one very nervous cat we have who occasionally gets to feeling crowded.
