Cats hissing, chasing, or hiding from each other? You can help them feel safe together again! Start with a gradual reintroduction instead of forcing them to share space.
Give each cat a separate comfortable room with food, water, a litter box, and somewhere to hide. Once both are relaxed, exchange their bedding so they can investigate each other’s scent without a confrontation. Wait until neither reacts with tension before moving forward.
Next, try short play sessions on opposite sides of a closed door. Once both are comfortable, introduce brief views through a secure screen barrier, pairing the experience with favorite treats or play. This helps build positive associations with each other.
Relaxed bodies and the ability to look away are progress! Hissing, fixed staring, or crouching mean stop the session and return to an easier step. Let their comfort set the pace.
