Hi
2 weeks ago I took in an 8 week old female kitten - Tigger, who's owners didn't want her. Yesterday I brought home a 5 or 6 week old male kitten - Roo. This kitten was rescued from a home hit by the floods here in Yorkshire. Roo is very tiny, but eating well. I was hoping the 2 of them would be company for each other whilst I am at work, and I thought inroductions would be quite simple with them both being playful kittens.
But Tigger is very upset about Roo and hisses and growls contantly. I have Roo in a carrier in the main room at moment hoping Tigger would get used to him.
Are the rules for introducing kittens to another kitten any different to introducing a cat to a kitten? Any tips or adivce appreciated.
Thanks
