While cats can certainly be affectionate and friendly, as a group they are quiet, reserved, and even perceived as unapproachable. Feline behavior is complex, and making friends with a cat is never a sure thing. Whether you\u2019re wondering about human-cat, dog-cat, or cat-cat relationships, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beverly Hills Veterinary Associates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has the scoop on how cats socialize.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Feline Dynamics<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve ever witnessed two cats that are unfamiliar with each other, the spectacle never fails to amaze. Puffed up tails and back fur, raised haunches, and an impressive ability to avoid eye contact round out the scene of territorial <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/why-does-my-cat-do-that-explaining-common-feline-behavior\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feline behavior<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike dogs, cats hunt alone and establishing a hunting territory is vital to survival. Cats mark their borders in order to communicate and avoid conflict with other felines, using urine, feces, and various scent glands. Cats will eat, sleep, and play in a chosen territory, and will defend this core area from the possible threat of another feline. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><b>First Steps<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hoping to cultivate a friendship between two felines, a slow, steady, and nuanced introduction will help win the race. Because of the strong territorial traits of feline behavior, you never want to do is rush an introduction between potential cat friends. Allow them to ease into the new social order (understanding there are never any guarantees between animal co-habitants) and try these techniques:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your cats apart for a couple of days until they get used to the scent of their counterpart. You could try planting a well-used blanket in each other\u2019s spaces, or even switch the litter boxes to further understanding and acceptance of the other. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your resident cat\u2019s access to the house should remain the same, but your new cat should be confined in a separate area that has all his or her creature comforts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While separated, attempt to feed each cat on either side of the door. This creates positive associations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take note of any displays of aggression, such as hissing or refusing to eat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After some time, try to switch up the locations and allow each cat to enjoy a meal or snack in the spot previously staked out by the other.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Feline Behavior at it\u2019s Best<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amicable greetings, such as nose sniffing, head bumping, and a vertical tail, are possible over time, and it\u2019s not uncommon to see housemates snuggle and even groom each other. However, this type of feline behavior is more typical between females and males after significant time gaining familiarity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/pet-care\/adult-pet-care.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adult<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/pet-care\/senior-pet-care.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">senior cats<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may react differently to felines of the same age and gender, especially males.
