Same lean on all four dimensions.

Joins in · Tries new things · Keeps some space · Goes with the moment

When guests come, it goes over to sniff their shoes and bags. Give it a new toy and it often finds a use you did not expect. It likes to wander around where people are, without always wanting to be touched. When it plays and where it sleeps change from day to day.

Where their days may overlap

Two cats of the same type share one description, so on paper their habits match on every dimension. Similar habits can mean easy company, and also wanting the same spot at the same time.

Social style

The House Snoop · What’s in the new bag?
ENTP · Joins in What’s in the new bag?

Someone walks in with a paper bag and it comes over at once to see who came and what is inside.

They may turn up in the same room, or at the same door, at the same moment. Offer more than one place to settle near you, such as two perches or two spots on the sofa, so neither has to wait for the other to move.

New experiences

The House Snoop · A second use for the box
ENTP · Tries new things A second use for the box

Two empty boxes become a passage, and it steps through to see where the game goes next.

They may reach a new box, bag or toy at the same time. Put out two boxes instead of one and rotate the toys, so neither has to wait its turn to look.

Closeness

The House Snoop · Hello from the other chair
ENTP · Keeps some space Hello from the other chair

At the table it takes the other chair: part of things, but on its own seat.

Each may want a seat of its own instead of a shared one. Separate perches within sight of each other let them be in the same room without touching.

Daily rhythm

The House Snoop · The game can wait
ENTP · Goes with the moment The game can wait

Mid-afternoon it falls asleep on the cushion, the tunnel and ball left where the game stopped.

Play may start at any hour, and one cat’s burst of energy may land in the middle of the other’s nap. Keep food, water, litter and resting places steady even when the day is not, and set up a nap spot away from where they play.

Introducing two cats

These steps are the same for any two cats, whatever their types. Go at the pace of the less comfortable cat.

  1. Give the newcomer a separate room with its own food, water, litter, hiding place and bed.
  2. When both cats are relaxed, swap bedding or other items that carry their scent.
  3. Let them see each other briefly through a secure barrier, then move on to short, supervised meetings.
  4. If either cat tenses up, go back a step and give them time apart.
