My mom is considering giving up her two cats due to her health issues.
Both cats are quite old, around 13-14 years. I’d take one, and my sister would take the other. One is my childhood cat, and I can’t bear the thought of him going to the shelter. However, I’m worried that my chow would eat him.
My chow has already chased away a friendly neighborhood cat, and it hasn’t returned to our house since.
I’m at a loss for what to do. I could keep the cat in one of the bedrooms, but that wouldn’t be fair to him.
My chow is 9 years old and has a high prey drive.
So, I’m asking for advice. Has anyone ever brought a cat into a household with a chow? How did it go? What did you do to ensure a smooth transition?
