Hey folks... just signed up, looking for some help.
Just brought home a 2 month old kitten, and already have an 8 month old at home. Whats the best way to introduce them ?
What I did was bring Urraco (the new kid) home, and let him meet Jarama (the resident kitten) for a few minutes. Broke up a few possible altercations... and after about 20 minutes they were both just avoiding each other, but Urraco was getting used to my room and Jarama was getting used to him. Now Urraco is in my bathroom, converted to his own little apartment for now, and Jarama has full run of the house again... I found out AFTER I brought Urraco home, and was told by the shelter that letting them just meet and get it over with is best, that there are better, safer ways.
Please help me here. Any thoughts, experience, or tips/hints, would be awesome.
I promise I'll post pics of both of them on this site when I have time and they're all settled and comfortable with each other and I'm not running around playing ref
