How long does it take for a tomcat to feel comfortable in a new home?
….
Hi, I have a tomcat (a little over 1 year old) and we wanted to get him a companion. But we don’t know which gender gets along better with each other. Does anyone have experience and can help us?
The previous owner put thermometers in every corner of my property, and a few years ago, a soccer ball destroyed one of those thermometers that was hanging on a shed. I didn't worry about it at first. Now I've found an identical thermometer lying around here, and unfortunately, I discovered it's a mercury thermometer. I…
Hello, My five-month-old BKH cat doesn't bury his feces. We've tried different litter boxes and different litters. As soon as he uses the toilet, he tries to cover his feces. Instead of scraping on the litter, he scrapes on the rim and walls of the toilet. This takes minutes, is very loud, and afterward, nothing…
I noticed that one of our kittens has white spots on his tongue. In principle, I would first think of caliciviruses. BUT In fact, they all had the exact same viruses; he even refused to eat at the time. They were treated and are all healthy again. He already had the spots back then, and…
Hello, This is no joke! We have an Abyssinian mixed-breed cat. He's not easy; he's not afraid of cars at all. We take him for a walk twice a day. When it has rained he looks in a grid, up and down, up and down, etc. and then right, left, right, etc. like a dog……
Hello , I have two tomcats, they are both siblings and should be around 8 months old now. We wanted to have them neutered when they were 6/7 months old, but the doctor said not at that age, only on January 3rd. We noticed that one of them has already peed on the floor twice,…
I hope there’s at least one more cat in there, then it’s coming up for the merge.
Sure. 2
Then it comes to people.
A new cat should never be put right into the territory of the others. This should be done slowly

Usually 2-3 weeks. At least one month
And if after 3 weeks he still accumulates his owner, touches and bites?
Then you wait the “last week” and don’t come near him
With us it took about 1 month.
Did he whistle in that time, crooked and was aggressive?
Not at all. Withdrawn and fear, it’s better.
Yeah. And if he starts to whip, crawl and teach?
This is always different and crucial to the character of the animal. Some people don’t mind and feel like you’ve always been there after a few minutes/hours. Others need days to weeks until they get used to the new environment.
But they definitely need to rest and you should not go to the cat, but wait until it comes to one. But you can sit close, “ignore” the cat and talk normally. So the animal gets used to one and slowly becomes suspicious.
And if they’re crying right away, they’re gonna whistle, if they’ve already done the first kiss from the box?
That means nothing. You’re afraid and you’re trying to overplay it like that and make it strong. Are there any other animals or are there new residents?
And attack the holder and scratch? Even in the middle of the night when he sleeps?
you can’t predict, you don’t know how catered are the new holders and know how to deal with insecure, anxious animals, for example. There is nothing to be said about the conditions of posture, whether the needs of the animals are met. Plenty of space, cat-friendly furnishings with climbing, scratching possibilities, varied games and employment opportunities etc.
It can take a long time or go very fast. Depends on the circumstances
And if the hangover hits one in the sleep and crawls and bites?
