No sense in putting her in the bathroom and introducing her to a new set of
problems.  The resident cat"s scent is already in the bedroom and she's had a
week to get used to that.  Also...she doesn't need to go by the door...the
bedroom is large; the bathroom is a lot smaller and she'd be closer to the door
(and to the cat on the other side of the door.)  I tried the towel thing..and
had brushed my cat and the new cat with the same brush about 15 times.  No
sense in feeding her Fancy feast..And have her throw up again? That doesn't
make sense!  Anyway...I was assured that she did NOT throw up while being caged
at the vet for 3 days NOR being caged for one month at the shelter..both were
high stress situations.  If she's this way now...in the most relaxing part of
the apartment, she'll be worse once the resident cat comes back in. My only
choice is to keep her caged & force her to use the box in there. I think she's
darling, but I'm battling between thinking I didn't give her enough time and
thinking she is not going tolerate another cat and would do best in a one-cat
home.
