HI Guys-
So I picked up my little guy tonight. Okay so here is what I figured after reading all the intro advice, talking with the vet and breeder....I would let the cats dictate the pace for the intro and try not to drag it out for them. I was getting different advice from every angle! Thats what I get for over researching the topic
Upon coming home i set the carrier down on the floor and Sebastian immediately sniffed and did not hiss. He was genuinely interested in who was in there. I put the kitten in his room and let him be for awhile. Sebastian seemed not upset and still his laidback self as he was playing footsies with the kitten under the door. So i (probably against the better judgement of the experts on this site) opened the door and let them see each other.
So far there has been a lot of sniiffing, following around and occassional chasing But NO hissing or growling or violence between the two. They seem to watch each other a lot and meow a little but that is it. It has been about 2 hours.
I have been trying to take some pics and see what everyone else thought.
I know I am probably going to get yelled at for not doing the proper seperation but it did not seem necessary by the body language and the only room I could put the little one was very hot when I got home as well, I do not have AC in any room but my bedroom.
As for the health issue I have vet records from the breeder (he was just there) and I know the cattery is tested for all the specifics.
I am going to post some pics and tell me what you guys think...
