    Hi Kooli,

    I saw you were wondering about integrating cats? Well the first thing is to bring Crikey on daily trips to your moms (if possible) in a travel crate. Put the crate in the same room as your moms cat. Your moms cat will be able to come over and they can sniff each other, get annoyed with eachother and whatever without actually being able to hurt each other.

    After a couple of these trips you could start leaving some of Crikeys blankets and toys at your moms house so the cat there gets used to Crikey's scent being around her house.

    After a week or so of these crate trips (each one should be for a reasonable amonut of time) it might be time for supervised 'play-time' without the crate. They will still have some dominance issues to sort out but it should be smoother than if you had just thrown them in together!!

    There still may be scuffles and some cats will never get along (although they will tolorate eachother at a distance in the same house) but these are the best tips I know off to help you make it work.

    Best of luck with it! Let us know how it goes :)
