As most of you know we are bringing home our new rescue cat tonight (yay!!) but we have the minor problem of our 6 month old Basset to contend with! lol!
We live in a bungalow, 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room - and obviously all joined by the hallway! We planned on George the dog sleeping in the kitchen (as usual) and Mr Tinks sleeping in the hallway - for now anyway.
But what should we do when we bring him home? Shall we jump straight in and see what George is like with Mr Tinks (on a leash) and see if we can all settle happily tonight or shall we keep George shut in the kitchen all night?
We dont have a spare room where Mr Tinks could stay for now - the only 'spare' place is the hallway!
Any advice (again) is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks

Separate sleeping arrangements will only be necessary if the introductions do not go well. Your cat will probably find your bedroom the best and most acceptable place, lol, regardless of your plans. But if you plan to sleep I would not lock it immediately outside the bedroom door - better to have it inside the room.

Id vote bedroom too

I have 6/7 cats sleep in my bedroom..... :shy: with the door open of course! ;)

If George is used to sleeping in the Kitchen keep him there. Try to keep his routine as normal as possible. As for the cat it's where you want him to be, if you are comfortable with him in the bedroom then have him there, he might stay there all night or he might wander into the hall.
