We've had both our cats under quarantine for some time because the kitten we rescued ended up having ringworm. So we had to put off any work on introductions for some time. Well, Gizmo, the currently almost 4 month old kitten, is adventurous and surprisingly fast and clever. They've both been cleared of ringworm and Tux has recently been allowed back into the rest of the house. I intended to leave Gizmo in the bathroom for the most part. I wanted to put Tux up a few times a day into the other bathroom, let Gizmo out to play and run around. I also wanted to do the introduction trick with the door. Anyway, Gizmo has made it out of the bathroom a few times while Tux was out.
Tux just sorta growls at him if he gets close and if Gizmo gets even closer swats at him. But that thankfully seems to be about it. Tux grumbles and the kitten just sorta backs off. Otherwise they both act rather normally? I've never had to deal with introducing an adult cat to a kitten before so I'm not really sure what to fully expect.
I'm just not sure how to proceed at this point. Start all over from scratch again? Let them interact on occasion while supervised?
I'm still wanting to do some blanket exchanging and work with petting them both with the same sock.
