Two INTJ cats The Window Watcher

Same lean on all four dimensions.

INTJThe Window Watcher

Prefers quiet · Tries new things · Keeps some space · Regular hours

Usually watches the house from a high, quiet spot. When something new appears, it comes down to sniff it and circle it once, then goes back to its usual place. Meals and naps happen at about the same times, and it rarely needs someone right beside it.

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 Window Watcher · Rain at the window
INTJ · Prefers quiet Rain at the window

On a rainy afternoon it takes the windowsill by itself and watches the drops run down the glass.

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 Window Watcher · Working out a puzzle toy
INTJ · Tries new things Working out a puzzle toy

It tries a new puzzle tray one careful paw at a time until it has worked out which piece moves.

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 Window Watcher · Nearby, with some space
INTJ · Keeps some space Nearby, with some space

During your reading hour it sits on its own cushion a step away, near you without asking to be held.

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 Window Watcher · The usual bedtime nook
INTJ · Regular hours The usual bedtime nook

At dusk it is back in the same bed under the bookshelf, at much the same time as yesterday.

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.
