My partner and I adopted a FIV+ cat back in January. We have been trying to slowly introduce the cats to each other. We keep them in separate rooms and rotate nights that each cat gets to sleep in our bed. My resident cat whenever in supervised contact with the new cat wants to chase the cat into the bedroom. It seems playful and my new cat is still timid to play in person but they do play under the door or through the sliding glass door. Also if they are both waiting for their morning food my resident cat is waiting for his food and won’t chase the new cat because he’s hungry. They also eat fairly close to each other without any food aggression. So I feel like I’m getting mixed signals.
I’m just worried with my resident cat chasing the new cat that he will get too scared and bite my resident cat. The new cat has shown no aggression besides a warning hiss. Should I give up and find my new cat a new home? Was I a fool for bringing an FIV+ kitty into my home?
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice!
