They say introducing two cats requires patience, planning, and at least three YouTube tutorials.
I had none of those.
What I did have was a glass of wine, a good heart, and questionable judgment.
Enter Eros — a calm, slightly goofy Siamese I found in the middle of nowhere, radiating “please adopt me” energy.
I brought him home to meet Mini — my resident queen, professional balcony explorer, and part-time drama critic.
Every guide said:
“Keep them separate for two weeks. Gradually introduce scents. Reward calm behavior.”
I said:
“Sure… or I could just… go to sleep.”
So I did.
I woke up to both cats chilling in my bed like lifelong roommates. No scratches, no hissing, just pure cat diplomacy.
Apparently, while I was dreaming, they held a summit and signed a peace treaty.
Since then, I’ve upgraded my methods. There’s “rotation time,” “scent exchange,” and even “psychological reinforcement.”
But deep down, I know — nothing beats my original technique:
Drink wine.
Bring home cat.
Sleep through the chaos.
Scientists call it luck. I call it the Bardoq Method™ —
Accidental genius, proven results, zero effort.
