They hissed and pitched fits for a bit but now the younger one wrestles around with the kitten and they love each other dearly. It just takes some time for them to grow accustomed to one another. So wonderful that you took Biscuit in and gave her a loving home! Wish more people would open their hearts and homes to animals in need like you did. <br />Kitchen looks fantastic, by the way! I did an entire kitchen in my last house and will be doing another in my current house! May have to make the transition slowly though - may be interim design fixes like painting existing cabinets until new custom cabinets can be purchased, etc. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917117926628440999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-46240003609106529062014-03-06T06:17:28.484-08:002014-03-06T06:17:28.484-08:00Ou, I love cats.

And Biscuit, ...The hardware and door look gorgeous! And Biscuit, what a great name for a gorgeous looking kitty. So happy that you can help her :) I'm a former humane society volunteer so I've had tons of practice putting animal strangers together and getting them to relax. My advice would be echoing what others have said - and that it takes time (on the order of months, usually; longer the older the cats are and shorter if they are both spayed/neutered) but eventually most kitties really like having another cat around! I bet eventually Susie and Biscuit will be great friends.<br /><br />Also I never went for the pheromone sprays etc but have heard that it can help. What you're doing so far sounds great. One thing I would do is be sure to feed them in separate locations. If they feel defensive about their food it can slow down the friending process. :)Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042576005050182059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-27086328599904560952014-02-18T05:41:47.304-08:002014-02-18T05:41:47.304-08:00It looks like the cats are off to a good start, al...It looks like the cats are off to a good start, already on the same bed! Sometimes it takes a month or two, but they warm up eventually. I recommend you feed them in the same room and hang out in there while they eat. Also, as weird as it sounds, rub each one with an old towel/rag and leave it where the other cat hangs out, that way they can learn each other's scents without having to be near each other :).<br /><br />Also- LOVE the black door and draw pulls! the kitchen is coming along great!!Stephanie @ Sandpaper and Gluehttp://sandpaperandglue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-14716647965469699962014-02-17T19:51:32.452-08:002014-02-17T19:51:32.452-08:00If you feel confident enough in your DIY abilities...If you feel confident enough in your DIY abilities and can afford the extra expense of tongue and groove planks, that would definitely be my recommendation! It's really the same process as installing the ripped boards, but they lock together instead of spacing them out. Sometimes they just need a little forcing in—and that's as difficult as it gets. I think the results are significantly better, and if it's a home you plan to stay in for a while it may be worth the added expense to have the real deal.<br /><br />Plus it's a hassle getting sheets of wood cut (especially a room that big) and hoping they are perfectly straight, which usually is not the case. If you do use hardboard though, make sure you get them thicker (at least 1/8") because the hardboard I saw at Lowe's was so thin and flimsy, I'm afraid you'd barely be able to see the planks once they were up. And the last thing you want to do is spend all that time and effort on a project with barely noticeable results! Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09585541078715745807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-57274699583663167202014-02-17T17:36:41.925-08:002014-02-17T17:36:41.925-08:00Everything looks soooo amazing!

I am going to try and tackle one wall in my house but it happens to be a 22ft wall with vaulted ceilings over two floors of stairs (yikes) I am debating going the faux route like you did in your last house (possibly even using hardboard instead of plywood) in your experience which would you recommend considering I have multiple angles from the ceiling vault and stairway?Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126847557753969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-30667991401494082562014-02-17T16:10:14.950-08:002014-02-17T16:10:14.950-08:00Your house is coming along beautifully!

They hated each other at first too, it just takes time. I don't think there are any special tricks. Eventually they realize they are both there to stay.

You've done so much in so little time! Looove the black door.<br /><br />As for cat tips - we took in a cat from a deceased relative a few years back. You may feel you are already past this point since they already managed to share a bed, but if you wanted to back track a bit you should separate them into two rooms that have an adjoining door that has some clearance for kitty paws. Give them each some new toys, and then switch them a few days later so they can get used to each other scents. Eventually, their curiosity should take the better of them and they should begin to play with their paws under the door. Lastly if you haven't already, you should probably bring Biscuit to the vet to make sure there are no diseases that can spread to Susie before you let them interact any more! We kept our cats separate for about a week before we allowed them to interact and they are all very happy together now. It can be trying at times but best of luck!!!Kayla aka Kilo Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900364364638979449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098954819548813243.post-78401491901545960682014-02-17T08:56:32.798-08:002014-02-17T08:56:32.798-08:00Looks so lovely!!!

I think cats are tricky- they take several weeks to warm up to each other, just give them time and LOTS of separate space until then. It looks like you've already made progress with them both sitting on the same bed together- that's good!! Just keep working at it and who knows, they may be buddies before long. :)Emily @ DavenportDIYhttp://www.davenportdiy.comnoreply@blogger.com
