Does anybody know how to create a watertight model from the set of components exported from Poser?

For example, I export a cat model from Poser. This cat model has different components (e.g. head, legs etc.). Alghough the model is visually connected, those individual components are actually separate. Even for the same position, there are different vertices corresponding to this position but owned by different components.

Actually, I'm not familar with Maya. But I think Maya can easily handle this type of jobs, right?

Could you kindly tell me how to do it or suggest another tool specific to this type of problem?

Likzly you will have to go though all vertices and merge them one fter one. Try first to Combine them from the Polygon Menu then use Merge Vertices with zero distance in the options to not merge the unwanted vertices. Then you would have to do the rest yourself. Maybe you will find them well ordered and easier to connect.
