I just picked up my new 8-week old male DSH, Rooney, and brought it home to live with a 1 1/2 year old female, Pucker. As I have never owned two cats before, I spent plenty of time researching the best way to introduce the two and have heeded the suggestions (e.g. created a safe area for Rooney in the bathroom with all the essentials, food bowls on opposite sides of the door, etc.).
The problem is I feel absolutely awful that Rooney is stuck behind a closed door. He came from a home that had children, another cat that never came out, a dog which made for plenty of activity. I have been visiting him throughout the day to make sure he knows I'm still here.
It just pains me to think I have to do this for at least a week!!! Any advice anyone can provide me to make this easier on Rooney - and, selfishly, me!
Thank you!
