This is the second time we'll be bringing our kitten down to visit my mom and her 2 adult cats. The first encounters didn't go as smoothly as we'd hoped, and surprisingly, it was our little girl that wasn't behaving. I swear, I've never heard such hostile sounds coming from such a small cat!!
growling, hissing, spitting, etc... you name it, she was doing it. We tried to ease the intros. by letting the cats sniff each other from either side of a door, but we weren't there for very long, so the cats didn't get much of a chance to get to know each other. And when we let them meet face to face, our Nikita was being really... well... hostile. She'd just crouch by the door to our room and puff up like a little toothy hairball and baffle my mom's big, fuzzy, blissfully ignorant male.
We're going to be at my mom's for 3 days this time, and we were wondering if there were any other hints you had to help things go better this time 'round? I'd hate for this to be a "constant" when we visit my mom!!
