So Miku's been poked, prodded, disinfected, and given the seal of approval to begin assimilating with George and Meepy. Meepy's afraid of her. Meepy's afraid of everything. I'm not really worried about her. I'm concerned about George.
He's a GINORMOUS cat compared to my 1.2 pound Miku, and one wrong swat could snap her in two. She ran into the room where he was earlier (score a point for cats going where they're not supposed to) and he jumped off the couch after stalking her. She scampered to somewhere small, and he just kinda sat there.
He hasn't shown any signs of aggression so far. He growled at her while she was in her carrier once, and he hissed when she skidded into him while he was eating yesterday. While I don't think he'll cause her any harm.. I'm still scared to bits.
Keeping them segregated isn't really much of an option. We have a very open-doored house - If you close a door, a cat will open it. Forcefully. Or yell at you until you do. Loudly. At 3am. Until 6am. When we've introduced kittens before, we've just gone *plonk* here's your kid brother, deal. And it's worked. But Meepy was young, Diesel was indifferent, and we haven't added anyone since George.
Thanks in advance for your advice
