Hello...
To start i will introduce you to my 2 year old Male cat MooMoo. We have had him since he was 3 months old. We actually got him with his sister. My sister in law rescued them from an abandon house under the porch. His sister did not want to be inside i guess and one day about 6 months after getting them while i was in the bathroom she jumped out through the screen in my living room window ripping it and ran away. Moo moo did not even try to jump out of the window and has never been outside since we got him.
Anyways we have now had him almost 2 years and i just rescued another kitten Jasper. He is a 6-8 week old male. Now i know he shouldnt have been taken away from his mother and what not but that was not anyones doing. His mother died during birth and had no choice...that is what the lady told me. I have had him for a week tomorrow.
When i got him he was already off kitten formula and on softened kitten chow. I asked the vet if that was okay or if i should switch him back and he said as long as he is digesting everything okay and not losing weight he will be fine. And he is. He has already gained weight and has actually gotten a little bigger. He is very friendly and playful and cuddly and would like moo moos attention....but thats my problem. My moo moo is terrified of him. He has been in my kitchen for 6 days now. I had to move his potty box under my kitchen table so he could go potty also because my kitchen is right next to the living room and to get to any other room you have to go through the living room. Anyways if i go into the kitchen moo moo is his normal self rubbing on me lovey dovey meowing making me rub his tummy and what not but if the kitten goes in there moo moo freaks out and runs all over bouncing off stuff and growling and hissing so i have a couple ahoe boxes blocking the doorway to the kitchen so jasper cant get in there.
At night i have jasper in the bathroom with his bed food and water and litter box toys and a night light its a decent sized bathroom so he has plenty of room to run around and he dont cry at all while he is in there. That is when moo moo acts normal again bedtime he is on our bed cuddling and purring and acting happy and everything just like when hes in the kitchen.
I dont know how to make him be normal with the kitten in the same room. Even if the kitten is in his crate moo moo is still scared. His hair dont stand up on his back or anythjng like that he just growls runs around like crazy and hisses. He does the same thing when humming birds come up the their feeder by my wondow. Is he juat a scardy cat or am i doing wrong? I know it takes time but from all the other posts ive read like mine none of my cats reactions are like theirs. Please help ideas advice anything.
