Here we go...I have 2 adult Persians (2 yrs. old) and 2 11-week old kittens which were bottled raised literally from birth. All is good...they all love one and other...groom eachother and play nice
I brought in 3 kittens which are approximately 7-weeks of age. They have been seperated from my 4 and have been living in a spare 3rd bedroom with their own food, water, litter, toys & of course bed (very spoiled little babies). The last weeek or so, I have let all of them play together (7 fuzzy faces) and again, all was good...no hissing or spitting. Two of the 7-week old kittens were adopted last night (yea). The third we have decided to keep.
I let her have free reign of the house for a few hours yesterday and although my 2 Persians are very careful around her, my 2 11-week old kittens play a bit too rough with her...she cries.
Should I keep her isolated in her bedroom...feeling terrible that her littermates are gone...? Or, should I let her have free reign in the house to get her familiar with her new surroundings and new family? I can't keep an eye on her 24/7 and do not want my very playful 11-week old kittens to rough her around.
She is extremely tiny for a 7-week old.
Also, we are playing around with names...any suggestions would be appreciated. Her father (feral) is lovingly named "cow cat". We keep calling her cow cat but that sounds so ridicilious to me. We are playing with the names "Elsy" (the famous Borden cow) or Kit (the original catwoman Eartha Kitt)...she has a perfect black mask.
