Can I put both cats in one carrier?

In most cases, it is better to have separate carriers that fit each of your cats than having them travel together in one big carrier. It can be awkward and uncomfortable having a single cat travel in an extra large carrier. Cramming two cats into one smaller carrier is difficult, uncomfortable, and very stressful.

How do you make two cats that hate each other get along?

Place the cats’ food bowls on opposite sides of a closed door. This will encourage them to be close together while they’re doing something that makes them feel good. Each day, have the cats switch rooms so that they both experience some variation and get access to each other’s scents.

How long should you keep two cats separated?

House the new cat in a separate room for at least seven days with food, water, comfortable bedding, a litter box(es), and all of the necessities to keep him happy and healthy. This allows the cats to get used to each other’s scent without needing to confront the other.

How big should a carrier be for two cats?

Ideally the carrier size should be about 1.5 times the size of your cat. You don’t want it to be so small that your cats feel stuffed, but you don’t want it be so large either that your cats tumble around and feels like they are on a roller coaster ride.

Will my cat be upset if I get another cat?

Adult cats will usually accept a new kitten much more easily than they will accept a new adult cat. Cats are territorial, and your cat may resent an adult feline intruder. If you’re able to choose from a group of kittens, avoid a kitten that’s hissing, growling or engaged in serious battle with his mates.

Do cats prefer hard or soft carriers?

Generally, cats prone to anxiety or aggression when they travel — scratching, clawing and biting, for example — will do better in a hard carrier. Cats with more placid personalities may prefer a fabric carrier.
