New roommate
We used to have two cats: Mickey and Kuchi. Mickey wasn’t too pleased when whe introduced Kuchi to him. He would hiss at Kuchi, who returned the favour by hitting his butt. The two of them never became friends -to put it mildly.
Two years ago Mickey passed away 
at the respectable age of 18. From then on Kuchi has been the “only child “. He really enjoys that privilige and follows us through the day.
But since a week a new white furry critter called Catootje has intruded his house. She belongs to a friend of us, but couldn’t get along with the 4 cats who are now living with him. So we decided to give it a chance. Surprisingly she felt at home very quickly. Only occasionally she hides under the bed and she enjoys our company & the tiny bits of cheese we give her (actually she’ll grab it out of your hand like a shark attack). The only downside to this story is that she and Kuchi aren’t really getting along. They try to avoid eachother and when it comes to a confrontation, Catootje will hiss at Kuchi. Kuchi has found his new spot on a cardboard box and Catootje is living at the other end of the room.
I’m missing Kuchi’s attention right now. He’s no longer the enthusiastic cat that will sit on my lap before I can even touch the couch. We still hope that everything will work out though, so we decided to give them a little longer to get used to eachother. If you have any tips, please share them! We do spend time with both of them and they have got their own blankets and bowls.
Now on to the winner of the Trick or Treat “contest”. The randomizer picked number 5 and 9, corresponding to commenters Carina and Pepsi. Congratulations 
You will both receive some kawaii stationery.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Sorry to hear of Mickey’s passing, but glad about little Catooje. I love readying you blog its so kawaii!
Love the photo too.
Oh, what a beautiful kitty. <3
I don’t know about force-socializing cats too much as ours have gotten along perfectly fine from the start, but the method that works with rats and rabbits is trying to get them both to smell the same. With rats, it’s about smearing their funny bits with honey (I know, gross) so they can’t separate their own smell from the other’s, making them believe they’re of the same family. With rabbits, I usually rub them with the same blanket or a towel, giving them all *my* smell so they all just smell me and go “Oh, s/he’s family because s/he smells like mommy.”
Cats might be a bit more clever than that, but it’s worth a try at least? The only bit I do know is that the one who was there before (in this case, Kuchi) is supposed to have top priority over the new cat because feeling threatened over his position and status in the house will just make him lash out at the other kitten. Making him feel secure and #1 in the pecking order would be at least a step in the right direction, if not the solution.
I like your blog design…and the cat;)
What a beautiful little fluff face! ^.^
I’m not sure there is much you can do to MAKE cats accept each other. They either will, or will not. The biggest factor is time and patience!
My friends has Blossom, the cat of the house for many years.. and then along came Diego, the cute little mega fluffy kitten of joy. Needless to say, Blossom was NOT happy! They just avoided each other most of the time, or when Diego did attempt to engage Blossom in play she would just turn round and whack him! This went on for a very long time. She HATES him. But years on, we do catch her licking him, sharing the same bed etc lol. Diego even leaps to her defence if a strange cat turns up in the garden (Blossom get’s bullied)
Give it time, LOTS of time. Even if they fight. I think the only time you should really worry is if they fight to the point where they really injure each other. Cats are cats. They go by their own rules, and always will >.<
Like Jonna said, make sure Kuchi still gets plenty of attention, things should work out.
Good luck!
Either bathe them both (with soap!!!!) that way their smells are both completely disappear and they don’t smell strange to one another. OR feed them both on opposite sides of a door so they can smell one another under the door but not see one another until they are finally able to eat with the door open.
My kittens were getting along great until I got my little male fixed. His sister was hissing and fighting with him for three days until I finally just bathed him. She stopped and they’ve been getting along now for a week. :’D …Course she’s going to get fixed on Friday so I might have to do it again. XDDD
Oh wow! She’s a beautiful cat ^.^
cats aren’t the most social creatures and are territorial, so it’s not surprising they don’t like eachother
The best way to introduce two cats is to keep them in seperate rooms until they get used to eachother’s smell ^.^
The white kitty is so adorable! So cute cant wait to see your next blog!
Bathing them or rubbing their scents on each other is a good idea….letting the new cat have one room to herself for a while will make her feel like she has a safe haven. Keep switching the scents out while you do that. After a while, leave the door open and let them settle it out themselves. The room that the new cat has been in will smell like it and the other cat probably won’t follow the cat in if she needs to get away.
Also, as a last resort…if you have animal crates, putting them each in a different one and sticking them in front of each other (further away at first and then eventually door-to-door as they become more comfortable) will force them to get used to each other. If you do the crate one, it will take some time, don’t try to make them go all the way from separate to close in one day. You’ll know how much is enough because you don’t want them to get stressed out. A little bit of hissing through the doors is fine but if they start getting too crazy, it’s too much too soon.
I had the same problem you did. Honestly there isn’t much you can do besides just let them be. You have a Male & a Female in the house & by doing so you have changed the order. Most time in a domestic cats, the females are the “top cat” & they rule the roost. Catootje is just making sure that Kuchi understands that she is not going to be a pushover. Also remember that by natural instinct males will kill another’s females kittens. If Catootje may be mildly afraid of him & hissing & staying away from him to protect herself. If you want to try & speed things along then rub them both down with towels that you have slept with. You can also try feeding them at opposite ends of the room & then slowly, very slowly move them closer to each other. But they will have to settle who is the dominant cat themselves, there is nothing you can do to help that one.
Sorry about Mickey.
Hmm, I’d try giving them some more time like you’re doing. Otherwise I don’t know. Lovely site by the way.
Oww… the cat is way cute!
I wish I know how to take care of a cat, last week we picked up a hit and run cat. He is okay after the surgery… staying in my bf house but he is not eating because of the broken jaw. So we force feed him with milk and water. I hope he gets better soon. We never had a cat and we are more prefer dogs but he is worth saving.
Anyway good luck with the cat and keep us updated!
HEY!
Ur site really rocks! And I have a question. How do you make a website? I was thinking of making my own 
And how do you insert th smilies into your post? Please reply 
Woah!!! What?! That was weird, I said I’m not very lucky with this stuff and I got it…how exactly are Carina and I going to get it?
Kitties;; Sadly, I’ve never owned a cat, so I can’t help you with the socializing there, but I think I have an explanation for this.
Kushi is one of those attention-loving cats, so he’s probably afraid he won’t get enough attention anymore with a new kitty in the house. He tries to stay away from the ‘attention-hogging’ cat because he is a jealous jealous kitty.
And that’s all I can think of.
I sometimes have little problems with my cats, they usually get along though. Our cat Clovis, is a BED HOG. If another one of the cats jump on the bed, he’ll threaten them and they’ll jump off. After a while, we started hitting him on the butt if he does/tries to do it (a little pat, not like a punch or anything o.o). Try giving your cats a little discipline, and try to get them together to get along. They’re going to have to live with each other for a long time, so they’re bound to get along sooner or later.
