I've had Soda for a few weeks now and she is five months old. I adopted her from another guy that had her for two weeks (from a local shelter) before realizing that his girlfriend was completely allergic to her.
Being out of the house quite often, (40-70 hours per week), I felt it a good idea to get another feline as a companion for Soda. Seven was actually born on the same day and I got him from the same shelter that Soda came from.
Seven has been with us for three days and has his own room with all the necessary acroutements. He is super-friendly, playful and extremely careful while playing (I've never seen anything like this). Soda is more the independent type, not much of a lap cat.
Soda is slightly uncomfortable with his precense. She won't let me brush her after brushing Seven (tried this with washcloths too). They paw at each other under the door and we've done some introductions. Mostly Seven attempts to play, but Soda is both curious and agressive. She follows him around and sniffs him, but than will bat, murmur and sometimess hiss at him.
By the way, there are no other people or pets in the home. Where do I go from here?
