I know I know...
So many posts have been about it and so many articles out there. And believe me, I've read A LOT of them. But introducing a new cat to the old one is SOOOOO hard!!!!
Ok, call me a whimp, but I don't know what to do. Maybe Chichi likes to be the only pet in the house and was happy the way things were. For some reason I decided to bring in a new kitty to keep her company but she is angry, frustrated, won't play with toys that have the new kitty smell on it, hisses at him each time she sees him and you name it. Hisses at anything that smells like him, with a spit!
Maybe things will change, but they are both kittens! Male and female. Shouldn't it be easier to introduce them? How long should it take? Or, rather, how long should I wait to make sure that Chichi indeed wants to be the only pet in the house. Because I was happy with just her, maybe she was content. I know I shouldn't give up so soon, it's only been a couple of days. But the longer I wait, the more stress for Chichi, Wesley and me!
What should I do?!!
