Hi all
I've had Buttercup own this house for almost two years now. Well for the last few days there has been a few babies running around outside. Two of them are little babies, maybe a month or so old, and there's one white fluffy kitty that is maybe a couple of months. He's so adorable and extremely friendly. I was afraid of them being outside and getting hit by cars (that likes to speed down this street all the time
). The fluffy white one (that I have already named Snowflake) I couldnt resist, and it was easy to bring him indoors.
Right now, Buttercup really isn't liking it at all!! She's pretty much sizing up Snowflake, growling and even hissing sometimes. Snowflake has walked up to Buttercup a few times, they'd sniff noses, and Snowflake will draw back. Buttercup hasnt tried to attack or anything, but i'm sort of a referee just in case. Buttercup always follows me around the house, and usually sits on my lap when i'm at the computer. right now Snowflake is stealing the show, and Buttercup is sort of sitting next to me (growling). I'm actually petting Snowflake with one hand, and petting Buttercup with the other, I guess to get her to understand i'm not neglecting her.
I expected Buttercup to not welcome any other cat with open arms, but how long should I expect this? Is there anything else I should worry about? I plan on getting Snowflake to the vet and get her checked out, get his shots and get him snipped. since he's snowy white, he could use a bath too (that should be fun) He ate pretty good already and now he's just walking thru the house, being so adorable, all over my lap and the keyboard
