Hello, there. I just adopted a new female kitten and, since it's been a long time since I last took care of one of those, I just wanted to share some doubts with you guys.
- It's been a week since the new kitten (Maya) arrived at my house and my other cat (and adult adopted two weeks ago, Céu) stll doesn't get along with her. That's normal, right? It may take some time for her to get used? She is not very agressive to the kitten, just the common hissing and only twice she attacked her with her paw (the kitten was playing and jumped on her while she was eating... twice). Once I even found them sleeping on the same couch, wich was very surprising. Any chance they'll become friends?
- How much does a kitten eat? She was alone, without a mother and is around 50 days old. The vet said I could give her solid food and recommended a specific type of kitten food. She also warned my she has anemia. A friend of mine, who also likes cats, said I should give her raw meat. Is it good for a kitten? I also ask that because I see her eating so little food that it worries me.
- She meows a lot. Even with food, water and clean litterbox, she meows quite a lot. She meows when I pet her, when she is playing, when she is not doing anything, when she is exploring the house... is that normal too? Is she just vocal? In the beggining, I was worried she was in pain.
- She is terrified of sleeping alone and meows a lot when it happens. To avoid that, she's been sleeping with me in my bed these days and that calmed her a lot. Should I continue doing it, since she is a kitten? Or should I try to educate her and make her sleep alone sometimes?
Thanks in advance!
