I wouldn’t want you all to think I totally wasted my entire weekend, when really I solved all the world’s problems. Or at least my own household’s problems, such as how to introduce two adult cats to make them become best friends. A step-by-step tutorial:

Step #1: After 7 days of quarantine in the tiny bedroom, bring Cat 2 into the regular living quarters for Cat 1 to sniff. Remind Cat 1 that he is the King and this will always be His Territory.

Step #2: Observe Cat 1 freaking out and trying to blend inconspicuously into clear glass window. At night, it kinda works!

Step #3: Let Cat 1 assert dominance over Cat 2. Helps if Cat 2 is fat and lazy, and may or may not help if he has glowing devil eyes.

Step #4: Feed Cat 1 expensive, organic, special formula food because full-bellied cats are happy cats. Chicken would be a bonus here. Whatever you do, do not scoff at filthy dirty kitchen floor.

Step #5: Team up the cats to chase enemy mouse together. Yes, there really is a mouse in that photo if you look closely. (Also, dead herbs due to lack of green thumb and 8 inches of snow.)

Step #6: Wait a few days and in no time they will be cuddling on the bed!

  2. They look happy together in the last two. Something about chasing mice together is bonding I imagine. Good luck in the next few days!
