When bringing a new pet into the house, many pet owners think about how to introduce old and new household members.

Small kittens are often shy, so it is important to socialize the animals properly.

How to properly introduce a kitten to other pets

First, it is important to remember that cats perceive the world around them through smells. Therefore, before you bring the kitten into the house, transfer the smell of the future home to its fur.

This can be done in the following way: First, pet the cat or dog that already lives with you, and then gently pet the kitten.

This way, new, unfamiliar smells will remain on his fur, which will later become familiar.

Secondly, if you have more than one pet in your house, the kitten should be introduced to them in measured doses.

Spend a few hours getting to know your adult cat, and then introduce him to the dog.

At the slightest sign of aggression, stop the meeting. The animals must get used to each other in order to get along later.
