INTRODUCING TWO CATS - Smoothie meeting Milkshake
Vložit

- This is a video about introducing two cats, one adult cat (Smoothie) & a new kitten (Milkshake). Both are British Longhair cats, Smoothie is from 2014, Milkshake from 2016.
Here are some extra tips:
* Be patient, it's a slow process. First impressions are important & difficult to erase for cats.
* Don't force anything. The cats'll let you know when they're ready. It's never a good idea to just put them together & let them fight it out. Cats usually don't like change, so let them get used to the new situation. Give them separate rooms for at least the first few days.
* Before you'll let your cats meet, let them get used to the smell of one another. Cats are all about scents. For example you can pet one cat with a sock & let the other cat smell this sock afterwards. It's also wise to let them know it's a positive door, by giving them treats after smelling the sock. It has to be a positive experience.
* When your cats meet for the first time - under supervision of course - play with both of them to show there's no danger. You can also try to let them eat next to each other.
* A bit hissing or growling is fine, but don't let them get negative associations with meeting one another. If they'll start to fight, just separate them. When they're calm again you can bring them back together. Continue doing this till they're visibly more relaxed.

Yes, that is a sign of true acceptance. LOL
Perhaps humans can learn something from this 😂😂😂

"Once upon a time, Smoothie had a complete kingdom to herself. What she didn't know was there was an intruder on his way..."
*Pans over to the cutest and fluffiest intruder ever*
Is smoothie a him or her bc you said both
Kiki *BAZINGA*
I really wish he did like a dramatic speed up on that scene so her head turn was dramatic with some loud shocker music
hello fellow bee friend :3 im a bee too! 'cept im too fat to fit in this lil circle
@@beaniebooblog the her is smoothie, the his is milkshake
This is how you introduce your best friend to your new partner.
I agree
😂
*licks but those in front of spouses best friend.
Yup totally worked ;)
Smoothie is... like... the most beautiful cat I've ever seen. (Don't tell my cats I said that.)
She is definitely up there in terms of looks. Poster cat for british longhair.
Too bad she is neutered. I'm sure lots of people would pay good money for her kittens.
@@Kalenz1234 imagine wishing a beautiful lady was fertile to buy her babies... weird how we think about animals, like they're objects to be bought and sold etc thank god she's spayed.

*milkshake plays with toy while smoothie is in the shadows staring menacingly*
Sounds On Saturn it’s like a horror movie XD
*"Soon..."*
*dramatic music plays as smoothie licks own asshole*
+Sounds On Saturn that was honestly one of the scariest things I've seen in a while.
She was plotting a murder. Fortunately, she dropped the plan.
Interviewer: So how did you two become friends?
Smoothie: Well, Milkshake invaded my home, so naturally I began to plot his murder. During my scheming, however, I found myself intrigued by him. Nevertheless, I persisted, and was about to carry out Operation Milkshake Massacre, when lo and behold, I was charmed and couldn't help but to indulge (in) Milkshake. All it took was a sniff for me to realize that I found a friend for life.
Interviewer: Aww, that's such a sweet story...
Milkshake: Smoothie, smooch smooch, let's play~
unicorn puppy 😂😂operation milkshake massacre??... ur too funny!😂😂
unicorn puppy I wish they had a love button. Cause this was awesome!
Hahaha! 😂 Why did the last part remind of the lemme smash videos though...I thought "swiggity swooty" from that video when you said smoch smoch hahaha, they are hilarious.
mmmm , LOL , that's a true good one
Wow, it reminds me to when I met my wife, the only difference is that my wife and after 37 years still hissing at me!
bruh, lmao
guess you love the hissing.. why else would you stay
Hahahaha
Maybe she doesn't like dogs? ;)
Bad pussi cat...
Milkshake is so little here, he is smaller than smoothie! Such a cute little button. 🤗
Yap, he was still a kitten here (and still almost the size of smoothie, who was fully grown)
The same technique should be used with politicians.
Joe Ezetta Oh god I just had this horrible image of Hillary Clinton licking Donald Trumps's hair...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Joe Ezetta 😂😂😂
Joe Ezetta But cats are smarter, not sure it would work with someone who's goal is to lie to get paid.
zako AGREED. Politicians are not as highly evolved as cats.
Now that's the way to properly introduce two cats to make for a life-long friendship.
I agree! Very kind and wise. Lucky kitties and their human servant. LOL
pollyv that's how you do in zoo when you want to introduce new individuals
Terry Hickman So true~😂👍🏻✨
when i was younger we got my second cat when she was a kitten and didn't do any of this XD they where chill from day one. The only problem we had was that my first cat kept eating the second ones food
The issue with that "proper introduction" is that it probably took more than half a year. My kitten constantly runs up to the older cats. Because he wants their attention. He has no fears. But it just takes cats forever to get use to each other. They still don't really like each other. But all three of them will lay next to each other now. He likes to get into a lot of trouble, so he was called "Wicked."
Heck, this one adult cat I have, that is going into being a senior I suppose, she is very shy. She likes me the most. More than anyone else. And she will lay with me when she wants to. She'll make these chirps instead of meows (her entire life was chirping in communication) [just now learning to meow]. And for a month I guess, the kitten learn to chirp like her.
My other cat, probably the oldest and would be considered the Alpha Male, he steals the food from the female cat. We keep the kitten in a separate room because he wants to follow the cats outside. But the kitten wants to follow the two. The kitten is scared of lots of unique sounds even though he hears them all the time.
The alpha cat was originally jealous. Would spray around the house even though he was neutered. But has stopped for a while now after getting use to the kitten.
Its a complicated cat life. The outside/indoor cats sleep out in the sun and come in for food. And a little leisure time. Always an interesting day from them all.
I can’t with the part where smoothie is watching milkshake but smoothie is in the dark behind the door ahahah a
0:19 she's so fluffy. I love her adorable little face.
Those cats are so freaking beautiful
Agreed. What is the breed exactly anyone know? I need one of these higher beings

@@danieladalmeida1741 thanks
Yes they are you freaking frik
I would have said doll-faced Persians. Otherworldly beautiful. I may have to steal them...
Milkshake looks like a cuter version of that ''MAAAAAA there's a weird cat in the backyard'' video
What It Should Have Looked Like, version😏🤣🤣🤣
You left out a few curse words.
instagram.com/wilfredwarrior/ You welcome.
THAT CAT IS CUTE TOO HOW DARE YOU!
totally agree
Hah! Watch all the tension build between 2 nonaggressive cats.
Smoothie's eyes are seriously the most beautiful color EVER.
Two dogs meet: sniff butts, wag tails, instant best friends
Two cats meet: look at each other, then act nonchalant
Not all dogs.
The nonchalant attitude is actually a good sign.
Lol not my dog. She was attacked by another dog and therefore HATES other dogs and training is not working so far. Taking her to a vet for checkups is a nightmare
Most dogs don't.
You need socialized dogs.
"Who da fuck this bitch!?"
[Sometime later]
"Marry me bitch! We be BFFs!"
And they lived happily ever after T.T
Lilacsbloom best comment ever! 😂😂😂
nope, they aren't 'ghetto' kitties..they have 'class'. Now move along to a different vid.
+chainamarie03 get a life you sad, lonely, miserable bitch...
chainamarie03 jeez calm down
chainamarie03 Take a chill pill 😐
Smoothie is the most gorgeous cat I have ever seen.
OMG, Smoothie is so beautiful with the green eyes. Precious cats! Glad they became good friends, now they have each other to play and snuggle with. 💞
It made me laugh how the Smootie would not take her eyes off of Milk Shake and Milk Shake couldn't give a crap😂my cats were the exact same way when we first tried introducing them!
The younger cat usually has an easier time adjusting than the older one.
These cats are very good looking
Cats? Which cats? All I could see were two fluffy cotton balls...
they are lovely :-)
vsboy 25 indeed

Aah the description below 😅thanks. Beautiful eyes. I'm in the uk yet first time seeing this breed.
I can not believe how mellow Milkshake is! Great kitties.!
I find that if you want to introduce a new cat to an existing one taking your time and getting them comfortable with each others smell is very beneficial.
Also from past experience having two non competitive personalities helps too. For instance you could have one cat that's a hunter and one that's lazy... but if you introduce 2 hunters or 2 lazy cats there can be competition for space which is not what you want.
Also some cats like hiding beneath objects while others are climbers and so getting a few cat terrain pieces that match there personality can also help diffuse tension.
Hard to believe Milkshake was ever that small. lol
Diamondelle84 on his Instagram he looks larger than smoothie
Fluffy Dragon l
Smoothie and Milkshake, now you’re just missing one cat to complete the holy trinity of cold drinks....SLUSHIE!
Iced Coffee would also be an adorable name for a cat. Lol.
I had a cat named slushie
Then a puppy named Malt
Can't forget the Martini!
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Alternate title: "The 24 hours when milkshake was same size as smoothie"
Smoothie: im a cat
Milkshake: me too
Naming cats Smoothie and Milkshake is the best thing ever!
P E lol neither did I - I just used to think why go different and name the second cat milkshake when the first one is called smoothie? Duh!
Or a massive, if not complete, lack of effort/imagination.
total cat names.
Just the thing everybody does this time. Naming their animals after candy. Nothing rly great about that.
THEYRE SO FLUFFY IM GONNA DIE. I love them. These comments are great too.
You're fluffy too.
Oh fluffy Duffy nutty
Puurrr puurrr meoww puuurrr paws 🐱
😋
Puuurr puurrr here kitty 😄
'That did not go well' you said. Actually it did. Little one came close, big one said 'that's close enough for now, I don't want you near me, yet. I need more time.' Little lady said 'sure thing' and backed off. If one is not ready for the other to come close, you want exactly that to happen. One tells the other where the 'personal space' border is, and the other one listens to it and backs off a bit.
Meanwhile, another Milkshake in another video:
BLINK M O T H A F U C K A
Milkshake developed the ability to blink from that video.
Slayer's dumb ideas soon she'll learn to look like Grandma
I have never seen a cat with beautiful green eyes like that before.
British Longhairs often have large, expressive eyes. Though it's likely that the eyes just look bigger because the rest of their face is quite scrunched up.
You should see russian blue hair cats. They have extrem green eyes :) .
My cat has green eyes, but they’re more of an olive green.
i’m dying at how they look at eachother for a long ass time at the most random times ahaha
please don't die, do you need me to call you an ambulance
FoodforThought ploiooooo
are you ok?
Its a staring contest, whoever blinks first
blink
You introduced them perfectly. That's how it's supposed to be done. Good job.
Smoothie has such gorgeous eyes
AND THOSE BLACK FLUFFY PAWS 😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤
I work at an animal hospital and I want to recommend clients watch this video when introducing cats. You did a great job!
Meg Jewelz I completely agree. I have worked in an animal hospital for over 2 years, own three cats and currently am a doggie daycare attendant. This is a perfect way to introduce cats to each other.
I'm currently working on introducing two cats. My friend's mom is a vet tech at a clinic who specializes in cats so she's been helping me with ideas. The new cat is a little older than the first cat we got. But the younger one is the one with issues. We have them separated obviously and sniffing from under the door. My friend's mom told me to leave one in a room and the other wonder around then alternate them so the other is in a room. And the other gets to wonder and get use to the scent of the other cat without being face to face. It's only been two days. I know these things take time but on average how long will it take until my first kitty stops hissing? She's hasn't been around other cats in about 7 months. And the last time she was it was with her litter mates.
Hannah Nahnah this really depends on each individual cat. Wait for the hissing to stop. Keep on alternating them between their designated rooms, it can take close to two weeks until they are used to each other’s scent, maybe more, maybe less. Once they seem completely comfortable and at home, you can introduce a baby gate so they can see each other. It will take another 2 weeks or so to become comfortable seeing each other. But again, every cat is different. When you feel both cats are relaxed and at ease with each other, it’s time to move on to the next step.
Elizabeth Gill thanks! One last question, will they try to jump over the gate? My younger one like to climb.
Hannah Nahnah this is definitely a possibility lol. You may need to stack two on top of each other or get one specificity for cats
Those cats are so precious and so happy together. Thank you for this demonstration.
You are so kind to give them each someone to love and share with. Lovely to watch, thank you!
smoothie is the most beautiful cat i have ever seen
B shhhhh don’t let Milkshake know
Nuuu Milkshake! His/her fur is so nice! white 😂
What about Milkshake?
Right I'm like omg 😍😍😍🔥
You should edit your comment and write Milkshake instead of smoothie
7:05... Look at those beautiful, gem-like eyes. One is as green as jade and the other is gunmetal grey. Absolutely stunning.
😍
Alright dude calm down don't fuck the cats please
I have a good mind to report you to the authorities,sir....Just so the cats can feel safe. An unhealthy attention to eye-detail there.
Aww they are beautiful
My eyes are blue sapphires
They're so cute!!
And Jackson Galaxy would be proud :)
Excellent introduction strategy! It's textbook perfect, including the use of food in the initial stages. This actually appears to have gone exceedingly well. 🐱🐱❤ ❤
Cats are so funny and dramatic just like humans.
I am really high, and this is beautiful.

What a great work you've done to introduce these two
So happy to see them in a great enviornment, with love and care
I can't even believe how beautiful Smoothie's eyes are. They're like jade stones.
She's a really pretty Cat. :)
Watch some of her older kitten vids where she had blue eyes. Just beautiful.
I have a cat, a Chinchilla who is very similar to Milkshake but has smoothies eyes, Pearly Jade I named her🥰
it’s so funny how cats are so territorial with all the hissing and spitting, but if and when they warm up to one another, they can become inseperable! nice vid btw

Women are the same way lol

@@thankheavenforseveneleven5522 trueeeee
@OneDayAfterAnother Not always. Sometimes one of the cats has to be re-homed. Luckily neither seem to be aggressive.
i had no choice but to thumb up this comment. It had 666 likes.
They're beautiful. Almost completely cheered up. Thank you, to you Smoothie, and Milkshake.
7:50 is the cutest moment of them together :3
I love how you documented this

You did such a good job introducing these cats!
When cats have better friendships than me...
Tiia Mannix lol true
Tiia Mannix
according to the video, you simply need to spy people behind a fence long enough to gain their trust. then lay down and start to clean yourself, purr and show them your backside. should be instand guarantee. it might help to lick their hands now and then and play with their tails...
Thomas Herzog lol
😂😂😂🤣
😂😂😂yes me too
That was a very thoughtful way to introduce your two cats. I wish most owners shared your patience and understanding.
UndoRedo thats exactly what I was thinking!
What a VERY educational & heartwarming video...Thank you for sharing & showing the importance of not "rushing" the intros...I have a shorthaired Persian, who for 9 yr's had been nothing but affectionate, gentle & sweet, so we thought (incorrectly) he'd very easily become friends with the new, equally sweet & quiet boy (both neutered 7-year-olds)...
It was so stressful for the longest time because it turns out the Persian was "extremely" jealous of his new brother who was so docile himself...Thankfully, they never engaged their claws during battles but screamed at the top of their lungs while slapping each other around for months...Two years later, there's no mutual love, grooming, or play of any kind, but at least they now tolerate" each other...most days... *: )*
What a pair of GORGEOUS cats!
If they where mine i will call them sun and moon because they look like that

As they walk into the sunset, Smoothie says to Milkshake, "Milky, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship". Great video.
Lovely x3
This was adorable ❤️ I love seeing successful cat Introductions

So adorable.
Smoothie has the most gorgeous green eyes! This was really helpful as I'm planning to adopt a 14 year old Bengal and introduce her to my current Bengal who is a year old.
Wild simmer omg I wanted and Bengal too but now I'm in love with this breed. Maybe I can try and get both one day
Wild simmer why a 14 year old tho?
Zaina KK it needs a home
Zaina KK there's nothing wrong with adopting an older cat. They need love just like the rest of them
Elizabeth Molina I know that but there are hundreds of cats that need love and home I was just curious why specifically "14"
Beautiful ❤️well done for your patience! Bless you all 🙏❤️
Awww. Good job. This is the perfect example of how your suppose to introduce 2 animals.
After almost 2 years i realized both creature are cats. I thought it a walking cloud.
what bsound After reading the video title you can confirm this is about two cats.
Does not take two years.
@@DrummerJacob Instructions unclear, I think they're two dinosaurs.

And damn like its better than yours
I could teach you
But I’ll have to charge?😂😂😂
Please see yourself out
I used to volunteer for adoptions at a rescue, and this is everything we told the new adopters that already had a cat. We would also tell them to pet each cat with a sock on their hand and then give the sock to the other cat and vice-versa. Perfect introduction and parenting for the best result👏👏👏
So beautiful, cute, lucky, happy little spoiled duo.
Well done, for caring so much for them.
what a lovely video and how great is that they have you that you make their life so great for them
7:04 it's look like a heart shape
I LOST IT AT 2:52

what did you lose? did you ever find it again?
Legit cried at the end! PS, thanks for making such an awesome (and educational and interesting and informative) video about how to get a new pet acquainted with your existing one! Not many people realise how softly they should tread, and fascinating topic nonetheless! HAIL SMOOTHIE QUEEN OF THE WORLD! And now I’m a fan of Milkshake as well
Smoothie finally realised Milkshake was a kitten. Mothering instinct kicked in.
The brown cat's face at 6:34 😂 i'm dead.
Going from growling to grooming...wow. I'll never stop marvelling at cats. Kudos to your patience!
Perfect example of introducing two cats the right way! Well done.
This is a great video! I loved loved it! I'm going through that experience right now. I adopted a 6 yr. Old. Strange circumstances brought a 4 month old into my home a week later... very unexpected. I had to keep them separated until the younger one was tested for Feline disease, and then we realized she had ear mites,.... more separation time. The older cat is not happy about the kitten, but the kitten never gives up trying to play. Everyday, the hissing gets less from the older one. The big achievement is that the scary growling stopped. Thank you for making this video! So cute!!
Great video. Credit to the owners for the way they introduced those beautiful cats.
Thank you! :)
the background music made it so dramatic😂🤭
I think in cats world it's even more dramatic!
It is a James Bond love story🥰
Ikrrr😂😂😂😂😂
😂 yes
I never tire of this video. I watch it over and over, and each time it feels as if I'm watching for the first time.
They are on Instagram too.
Great video. I love the cats paws, black underneath like they've trodden in soot. Sooo cute ❤️
Favorite horror movie.
10/10 for the build up

That's a pretty cat breed! They have adorable baby faces.
And yet, though they look like golden clouds with angel faces, they are one of nature's most efficient small predators.
I think we forget about this with cats because they push the same buttons as babies--big eyes, little pink noses, cute mannerisms, adorable little vocalizations, and they're about the same size as a baby. Then you see them stalking a lizard or fighting each other and you realize they're basically tiny tigers.
Such a precious video!!! Milkshake was an adorable kitten!
OMG...found this randomly and LOL'd because of their names are so adorable 😹😹😹❤
The white cat has a such good spirit. Takes over the situation with desinteressement, calm, and playful behavior. Am impressed !
I watch videos like this all the time. I just don't get why there are so many dislikes. What's not to like?. These cats are gorgeous.
In track, what's to dislike is the stupidity of a gate, of keeping them seperate, like wow, this guy reminds me of Paul on 90 day fiance. He wore a vest with ice cubes in it to keep cool. He was worried about everything, he was like a total spaz. But I didn't press dislike because the cats are beautiful. They can't help if their owner is weird. I'm just giving my opinion on how freaking stupid doing that was but even worse, he filmed it 😬
@@redpilled4781 actually the fence thing isnt that bad of an idea, when bringing 2 cats together. letting them smell and see each other gives them the opportunity to get to know each other without them fighting real hard. It really depends on the cats but I had seen my shares of instant meet up ending in a bloody fight with one so scared it took month to get them along, which could perhaps be avoided otherwise - it also provides each cat a save space, a territory where you dont have to fear the "intruder" will annoy you, which makes it easier for those cats too.
Red Pilled I can say from experience that cats won’t get friends if you just put them in the house and let them figure it out xD so it’s actually a pretty good idea I’ll try in the future. And why not film it, it’s a great process video and super cute :)
@@redpilled4781 that's actually what you're suppose to do when introducing cats
@@redpilled4781 and, I mean, look up how to properly introduce cats. Literally everyone who is a professional in the field says to slowly introduce cats, not let them fight it out. that's how one of your cats gets hurt and both have a negative experience lol
So much beauty together.......Love it!
OMG! They're absolutely stunning!! 😍
at 2:49 I laughed way 2 hard omf xD

Holy shit those eyes are a color I've never seen before on a cat. I know Russian Blue's can have blue eyes, but that blue-green is striking as fuck.
flamesword08 smoothie is a British long hair
flamesword08 Golden and silver cats (like these two are) always have green eyes. My silver shaded boy had eyes like light emeralds. So pretty
They are both incredibly beautiful!
They are truly precious. I miss seeing them. Wish you well.
