STEP 0.1 - Start Here

Good Day to you, landers upon this blog. Some of you may have come from my other blog, and and if so, welcome! Some of you might have found your way here because you're at your wits' end and serendipity brought you here.

Here's the deal: This blog exists because we have four cats who don't get along anymore. They did at one point - sort of - but now that has blown up in our faces and we are trying to repair the damage. All of the good cat resources tell you to take your time in introducing your cats to each other. Fair enough, and there are a lot of resources that will tell you how to do that. However, when it comes to RE-introducing your cats to one another after a problem has occurred, we've found that these same resources fall down on the job a little bit. Oh, sure, they say that reintroducing the cats as though one or more of them are new to the household is probably the way to go, but not many of them go much further than that. We have found that just referring to the introduction instructions isn't sufficient in a reintroduction situation, and finding specific help with a reintroduction situation is a lot harder than it should be.

So ... this blog has been created with a couple of goals in mind. The first is to document our effort at reintroducing one of our kitties into the fold. (More details about the specific situation and the individual cats will come later.) The second is to hopefully provide a little information and personal perspective on feline reintroduction to anyone else out there who might be going through this same situation.

Keep watching this space, as more posts are coming soon!

  1. Oh, nooooooo! Do tell... do you know what kicked off the madness? We'll be waiting with bated breath to hear how the reclamation of peace efforts progress!

  2. Looking back, I think it was a very gradual layering of a lot of things ... none of which we paid particular attention to at the time. Then, when one major event occurred, everything boiled up into one nasty mess. More details soon!
