So while you can teach an old dog new tricks, it's a little bit hard to teach an old cat new

to be more social.

That's true.

You can't do either.

If you teach them a new trick, they chose to do the trick and you had nothing to do with it.

Again, they don't have family members.

They have staff members.

So now let's say your partner comes home with a cat and doesn't ask you.

Shame on her.

You're going to have to speak to a therapist on radio, of course.

I would do that, yeah.

That would be hilarious.

But...

Basically, if your cat is avoiding the new cat and hiding like crazy and it takes more than a couple of months because it can take about three months for them to figure things out.

You got a problem.

Now, you got a problem because you've already got this cat.

So what are you going to do?

But avoidance, you know, if they avoid it, then they're not too happy.

Litter box issues is a big, big concern.

Whenever I see cats come into the clinic and they say, hey, Doc, Fluffy is now peeing on my bed.
