We adopted a 2 year old male (Servo) about 5 weeks ago and are in the process of introducing him to my 4 year old female (Kookie).
We have done everything by the book. Gave Servo a safe room. Started feeding on either side of the door. Once that wasn't a problem, we started opening the door just a tad so they could see each other. Servo hissed and growled once then was totally fine. Kookie didn't do much, she was just curious. We tried this for a few days and then moved on to giving them treats with a gate in between them. For a couple of days everything was going well then out of nowhere, Kookie won't go near the gate even with treats being offered to her.
Today, I lured her with some baby food, once she got close and saw Servo, she hissed and ran away. Five minutes later, she is back to her normal self, playing and eating.
What do I do now? I have Feliway diffuser downstairs where she spends most of her time and I use the spray right before feeding them and in his room. We also purchased Jackson Galaxy's essences I use both PeaceMaker and Nervous Nelly for my girl and Peacemaker for him.
I am tempted to just let him out of the room and seeing what happens. I don't think she will attack but she will run away. She is such a scaredy cat!!! Help please.
