I would love to learn your experiences with two Persian cats in one household!
For context, my 1.5 year old is a sweetheart, but also an anxious baby. I recognize I should have socialized her better when she was younger, but not trying to beat myself up over it. She is not a fan of company and often hides at first, but within the same visit, she will warm up and even crawl on guests. She does not hiss or bite, just scurries away some distance when guests first enter, make a loud noise, or make a quick movement. While spending a weekend at my parent’s without me, she spent most of the time hiding. Occasionally she laid in their laps or near them. She was eating, but not as much a usual. She did very well with their sweet and curious 9 year old dwelf cat. We did not do the standard slow introduction, which I recognize was risky, but the dwelf is quite docile and we got lucky. My cat is very curious when the neighborhood cats come to our door. She does not go outside at all, but her and the cats love up on each other through the glass door panel lol. I am wondering if introducing another cat to our home may help comfort her? If she has to spend a weekend at my parent’s, could a friend help her? I am home almost 24/7, so I can only imagine it is difficult for us to be apart. Maybe introducing another cat wouldn’t make any positive change because her anxiety is rooted in being apart/not home/around a sweet, but unfamiliar cat without proper introduction. I understand there are no clear answers. I would love if her friend could also be a Persian cat as it’s been the only breed I don’t have allergies to! My theory is that it’s because I grew up with a Persian cat lol. Please share your experiences with anxious kitties and/or 2 cat households! TIA 🩷 Here are some Pepper photos for fun. She is home, eating well, and sleeping tons!
