[quote=Anonymous]I have had cats all my life. I've adopted. I've fostered. i'm fostering now. I've had all sorts of personalities. I've never NOT had it work out.

You have to introduces SLOOOOOOOWLY and supervise when together. At least a month. Give both attention. They may not be BFFs. They will likely tolerate each other. So, if you foster, make sure it's a long foster. Any good rescue will tell you that the risk of failed introductions happen the faster you put them together.

I'm a big fan of the second cat as company. Even if just to have another body for them in the house when left alone.

If your kitty is play biting you, he likely trusts you enough to engage int hat kind of play. It can be annoying, for sure. But it's not necessarily territoriality.

There are lots of toys at the stores that will keep kitty engaged for a bit by himself - battery operated feather toys, or toys that push little plastic parts out of holes at random interviews, or that rotate laser beams. Our cats love them and we rotate them in and out so they don't get bored.[/quote]
