Hi all,
After losing one of my two fur babies in January, we've decided to adopt another rescue - it just doesn't feel right having only one.
Current cat is female, spayed, 10 months, has access to outside via cat flap. Comes and goes as she pleases but doesn't go far - only really in the garden. She toilets outside.
New cat is female, 6 months, recently spayed by the rescue. Rescue believes she will want outside access eventually, though obviously that's a way off yet. She's not with us yet as she's still recovering from surgery, so I am preparing.
I have been doing lots of reading up on introducing cats, all of which makes sense, but I am stuck on what to do about current girl (Enid) going out. I'm obviously worried about the cat flap being open and new girl finding it, but also concerned about keeping Enid in.
Any ideas? Is it just a case of Enid going back to the litter tray until new arrival is ready for the garden?
