Thank you so much as always for your positive attitude and guidance!!! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have your help!

I had the screen door installed where there was no door before, separating the bedroom from the closet and a small 5x7 room. Some cool air still gets in there through the screen door so it's still much cooler than the catio but not as cool as the bedroom because of the doggie door in there that...

It is an enclosed former patio and does not have a duct to take A/C there but is open to the rest of the house and currently has a screen door to separate the cats and allow cool air to get to it. Some heat comes in from the doggie door also.

Part of the reason I'm anxious to do the space swapping is because the cat room adjacent to the catio where Newman and Tommy are now is not as cool as the rest of the house and on April 21 it was 100 degrees outside.

How long do you think I should do intensive scent swapping before space swapping? There will be scent swapping with the room swapping also as all scents will be in my bedroom since Group A will use it during the day and Group B will use it at night. That doesn't take care of the rest of the...

As always I am eternally grateful for your help, guidance, and encouragement!

There has been a lot of scent swapping all along as I have continuously swapped bedding but I will do more and I will use the sock petting too.

I just wrote up very detailed space swapping instructions for myself. Because it is so hot in Arizona and the little cat room is not as cool as the rest of the house, Newman and Tommy will have the master bedroom, cat room, and catio during the day and Robbie, Sasha, and Malia will have it at...

Also do I need to start with them not being able to see each other?

Thank you so much! I will try that. Sadly it all has to wait because I will be gone for two weeks with my daughter taking care of the cats. I planned to leave Newman and Tommy in the cat room and catio and Robbie and the girls in the rest of the house until I get back and can start all over. But...

Thank you so much as always for your advice. I appreciate it so much!!

I did the same thing with Robbie that I did with the previous feral and she integrated nicely after being confined for about 2 months with a screen door so they could see and smell each other but obviously that was too soon with Robbie.

I will start over. Yes I remember when I first brought Robbie in I closed the doggie door to the catio and hung a beach towel over the french door so he could not see outside. He was confined to the bedroom and was separated from the other cats in the rest of the house by my solid bedroom door...

Plexiglass is installed. Now I'm ready for space swapping again.
