Thread: Introducing adult cat to adult cat

Oh I'm in love - Dudley is simply stunning!!!! So thrilled to hear that they seem to be getting along - that was very quick - how lucky are you with your two gorgeous kitties xx

The pics of Dudley just take my breath away... what a little heartbreaker!
That coat... and he's so big! How old did you say he was?

And great to see the two of them getting along so soon.

Thanks guys, he is a little sweetheart. The breeder had been gifted him for a stud but he was too small (he's 5 months), plus he is cock eyed!
I'm feeling a little bit worried about him because his sneezing seems to be worse today and his eyes and nose have quite thick discharge. The breeder said this might happen after his vaccination and he is eating well but I'm stressed out that his reaction is a bit severe. A visit to the vet tomorrow may be necessary! I'm really hoping he starts to show improvement by the morning.

Oh dear, poor Dudley! The sneezing could well be caused by the vaccination... but you're absolutely right to keep a keen eye on him and take him to the vet if he isn't better by now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

His eyes are a bit better today and he is sneezing less but he's still not (i'm guessing!- judging by his first day at ours) on top form. The breeder said I should put him on antibiotics if he starts sneezing so he's gone on them today along with some L-lysine in his food. He still has the appetite of a baby elephant and is playing between snoozes so he certainly isn't listless but I am feeling apprehensive. We'll go to the vet tomorrow if he doesn't show further improvement by then.
What's really sweet is that Sylvie seems to be trying to get Dudley to play with him and keeps chirping at him then running away. I'm trying my hardest to get them to eat out of different bowls as I wouldn't like Sylvie to catch anything from Dudley but they keep swapping food bowls or Dudley barges Sylvie out of the way to get some extra helpings!

Glad to hear that little Dudley is showing some signs of improvement - it's always a worry when they're poorly - our poor Gracie had a throat infection after her recent speying and we were worried sick! Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and he'll be back to 100% x

Thanks Rachel. I'm kicking myself that I didn't start the antibiotics on sunday now (I feel horribly guilty in fact) but I really hate giving antibiotics unecessarily and I thought he would be sneezy for a day and then recover anyway. Just phoned tom to see how Dudley is doing and he's come down off his tree to have yet another meal and is now purring on the sofa. Fingers crossed he's on the mend.

No need to feel guilty - although having said that I know I did cos it took me a couple of days to see if Gracie would improve on her own! Sounds like he's definitely on the mend though - no doubt the AB's wil knock it on the head in no time :-) x
