I’m going to be moving into a new house in a new state with my 2 year old cat Violet. I’ve had her since she was 2.5 months old and she is a very mischievous and confident cat. I’m going to be moving into an apartment my two roommates and they have 2 other female cats. One of the cats is pretty laid back and she about 11 years old. The other cat is a big Maine Coon and she is a bit more insecure and doesn’t like strangers too much and she’s about 10 years old. These two resident cats aren’t best friends but they more-soo just co-exist with each other.
Also just to note: both the two resident cats are declawed (they were adopted that way my roommates did not declaw them). And my cat has all her claws intact.
I’m a bit worried about introducing them all to each other as I’ve never introduced my cat to any other animals before. When I adopted her she did have a sister that she got along with very well with but who knows if that helped shape how social she’ll be with other cats. I’m mostly worried about the fact that my cat has her claws and the 2 resident cats do not so I’m worried about my cat being a bit of a bully.
How should we all go about introducing them? I know I will keep my cat in my room for the beginning just so she can get acclimated to her new surroundings and the 2 cats can get used to her smell through the door but I am kind of lost on what to do after that. Should we only introduce them one at a time so they do not gang up? Any and all advice will be much appreciated! :)
