Once upon a time, Ms. Ogolon and I had one cat. His name was Cowboy. This was years before she gave birth to Boyd. Anyway, a couple of years after Cowboy came into our home, we decided to get another cat to keep him company. Her name was Charlie.
When we first brought Charlie home from the pet adoption clinic, we had to keep her in a room separate from Cowboy for a few days to ensure that she didn't bring in any cat diseases that could be spread. Cowboy was aware there was a female cat behind that closed door:
After a couple of days, we opened the door and put a barrier in place to keep them separated. But Cowboy could see Charlie.
After that, they started interacting a little more on opposite sides of the barrier. (Please forgive the shakiness at the beginning of this video. I was trying to zoom in because I didn't want to scare Charlie.)
We still have both cats. We've had Cowboy for nine years and Charlie for six.
