Hello
This is my first post here and I have been lurking here quite some time reading other people's responses similar to what I am asking
I have been searching and searching and reading about about mewing kittens
X_X
I feel like an idiot and now am quite depressed because I feel like I made a mistake.
I recently bought a new scottish fold kitten (born april 4th...meaning he's 9 wks now?)
The place i went to had a lot of outdoor cats all of which were extremely friendly.
Kitty was in a cage with his momma and 5 other siblings
He was really reluctant and hissed when we first got him he definitely was not happy.
I got him home and spent some time with him - my roommate was kind enough to let me use his room to set up the kitten things since I wanted the kitten to be acquainted w/ his own personal space, and I figured I should wait before I introduce my 3 yr old female ><;;
(Coco my 3 yr old seems to know something fishy is going on, but she didnt growl or hiss when i had the baby in a cage in the same room)
So first night goes by, no mewing, nothing
second day i come home from work
he's mewing and mewing and mewing
he ate and drank. and when i tried to reach for him under the bed, he just hissed and backed away
but i stayed there and tried talking to him offering him treats, and finally left him alone
i figured he misses his momma
so second night mew mew mew, non stop, my roommate eventually dragged his matress out into the living room to sleep (GOD I FEEL SO BAD!!!)
so yesterday i finally cornered kitty and started to pet him under the ears/etc got him purring and after about 15 minutes of continueous petting/purring he finally came out and ate out of my hand (O so cute!)
but i couldn't make any movements like sitting up / moving, else he hissed and ran away -
once again, last night
mew mew mew mew mew mew allll night
today when I came home from work, he let me hold him right away, (at first hissed but i pet him until he purred)
and he played w/ his cat toy / birdie teaser w/ me for about 2 horus straight
and ate/pooped/etc played some more and finally he went under the bed, i figured he was sleepy
and now its 10:30Pm and he still is mewing non stop
Will this EVER end?
I have NEVER had this happen before
I got my previous cat from a rescue at around 3 mos but she was never around any other cats it seemed but she never mewed and is a dream to this day!
should I maybe just introduce the baby to my 3 yr old?
i mean it mews and mews allll night
coco's been at my roommates door i didnt see any ear pressing back or tail twitching or hissing
does this mean coco might be okay w/ Nook? (the baby)
I just feel so bad
and if I had the baby in the roommate's bedroom for the past 3 nights
i was thinking of making him a pen/with bed and such in the bathroom during the nights just so my roommate could sleep
will this confuse the kitten?
should I use 2 littler boxes? he's perfect w/ using the litter boxes
its just the hissing when being approached that bothers me and the non-stop mewing!
poor thing
I hope I could get a soothing response from this and that I wont be stuck w/ a loud mewing nightmare
ack ;_;
