Should the old cat stop growling at the new cat?

It is common for an old cat to growl at a new cat in the process of communicating with it. This is usually because the new cat enters the old cat's territory and the old cat comes to express some unhappy emotions. If the growl does not escalate into an attack or a fight, we generally recommend that the owner adopt the strategy of observation and monitoring.

When the old cat and the new cat are nearby, the owner needs to be vigilant at all times. If it is found that the conflict between two cats is escalating or may lead to fighting, measures should be taken to stop it. Specifically, some methods can be used to attract the attention of cats, such as guiding them to play games or providing them with some food rewards to change their attention. At the same time, we can also provide independent personal space and resources for each cat, such as an independent water dispenser, food plate, cat litter basin and so on. To avoid conflicts between them for resources.

Of course, if the attack of the old cat on the new cat has obviously increased, which may even lead to serious fighting, then the owner needs to take stricter measures to avoid injury. It should be noted that the communication between the old cat and the new cat takes patience and time. We can't expect them to adapt to each other quickly, but with careful care and correct guidance, the two cats can finally get along in harmony.
