Two INFJ cats The Quiet Sitter

Same lean on all four dimensions.

INFJThe Quiet Sitter

Prefers quiet · Tries new things · Stays close · Regular hours

It keeps away when the house is busy. Once things quiet down, it jumps onto the arm of the sofa and sits beside you. It walks over slowly to look at a new toy, plays for a while, then comes back. Most evenings it shows up at that spot around the same time.

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 Quiet Sitter · A quiet seat by the window
INFJ · Prefers quiet A quiet seat by the window

Its favorite company is one quiet person: it sits at the window while you read, a cushion between you.

They may choose the same quiet spot. Offer several quiet resting places, in different rooms or at different heights, so each can be alone without having to guard a favorite corner.

New experiences

The Quiet Sitter · Taking a new toy slowly
INFJ · Tries new things Taking a new toy slowly

A new toy is sniffed slowly from one end to the other before the first careful pat.

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 Quiet Sitter · Sitting by the reader
INFJ · Stays close Sitting by the reader

Once you settle with a book, it rests its cheek and one paw on your arm and stays there.

They may want the same lap. Sit where there is room on both sides, give each cat some time with you on its own, and pause the petting now and then so either one can leave.

Daily rhythm

The Quiet Sitter · The evening blanket
INFJ · Regular hours The evening blanket

Every evening it curls up on the same folded blanket at the end of the sofa.

Meals, play and naps may fall at the same times for both. Feed them at set times in separate places, so a shared routine does not turn into a contest over one bowl.

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.
