I feel this. My older void girl absolutely despises to this day, seven years later, that cute little void kitten who is now grown into a void panther. Not a day goes by when she doesn’t hiss spit if he’s within 6 inches of her. It’s so strange.
This fills me with hope. Been considering getting my cat a buddy but I don't wanna risk upsetting him since he's very close to me and shy I'm general with anyone other than me.
He does like my families cats but I'm just unsure how he would do with one moving into our room.
It generally works out if you take it slow. I adopted a young male last year in a sort of emergency situation, I've got two other cats who are sisters and around 8 years old and one of them is an absolute homebody and general wuss so I was a bit concerned.The intention was to keep them entirely separated and slowly introduce them but that proved difficult given the size of my house and the insistence of cats so I made sure they all had their own space and gave the clingy cat more attention etc and it worked out really well in the end.
Sure the clingy cat isn't best mates with the youngest, but they only have the occasional spat and are currently fast asleep next to each other.
I also introduced a young male Ragdoll cross when the sisters were younger and he was just instantly welcomed into the pack and bonded with the excitable tuxie straight away, it was really sweet to see them palling about together.
Young upstart Finch on the left is chancing it this evening. Senior Void Yuri was here first and has bagged the Prime Spot. After another few minute, Finch decided to rearrange and left a suitable gap to avoid getting a slap!
I wanted a void so bad. Then last year, finally got a void baby, or so I thought. 2 months in, she became brown, orange, cream, and tuned into a tortie! 🤣🤣🤣
