So I know Maya smells him all over. She's spent since January of last year with the Humane Society and has been at the cat cafe for ten months with cats coming and going, so she is accustomed to various cats in her living space.

Lucas was in the Escambia County Animal Shelter for a few months after he was surrendered but I doubt it was as mixed cat as what Maya has been used to.

I know they must smell each other so it's encouraging that they are not getting upset.

Yes, and I still think that different sexes get along better, at least initially. Laffy Kat Sep 2020 #7

Well both Lucas and Maya are neutered, so other than inate personality sex doesn't count. csziggy Sep 2020 #8
