Thanks for the link - I read that article and have watched most of Jackson's video's, but I need to send that to my husband so he can read it again. I haven't ever really introduced cats before... at least not in the correct way lol I have always lived in the country so we had outside / barn cats, cats that just showed up and stayed etc. Never had to introduce any that lived inside. I was more concerned about what to do once I pick him up at the airport. I'm not really worried about introducing the new Birman to my two resident cats. The Birman is suppose to be a laid back easy going cat, he was raised with 4 small dogs and never had a problem with them. I'm not really concerned about Jules, the Tonk - he thinks everyone, cat or dog, should be his friend and has a fit to play with my neighbors cats every chance he can get! I plan on sleeping in the room with the Birman when we get him home, and my husband wills stay in the Master with Jules, when my husband is at home I might as well not exist as far as Jules is concerned. So as long as my husband makes sure that he pays enough attention to Jules so that he doesn't get his feelings hurt, I think he will be fine. Now Mia the Siamese is a different story - what can I say, she's a typical female cat. Even though Jules is definitely the dominate cat, Mia has attitude like you wouldn't believe! She gets along with Jules perfectly fine, they still cuddle together and bath each other. She is very shy and runs to hide if the door bell rings. So I'm worried about her. Mia Loves to be chased and to play - she has little mini pyscho episodes several times a day where she runs through the house up and down the stairs, attacking toys and her cat tree - all the while making little revving up sounds lol She's trying to get Jules to chase her and play. So I think if she would give the Birman half a chance she would like her new playmate. Supposedly the Birman and his dog brothers ran and chased each other all over their house. Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it.
