I recently brought home an abandoned kitten 4-5 days ago (don't worry, he got to the vet
) and things are starting off not too bad between the little guy and resident cat, Roscoe.
Over the past few days I've been playing with the kitten on one of my towels and today I decided to present it to Roscoe. He gave it a sniff and went on his way, it was like he didn't even care. I took this as a good sign and decided to introduce the two.
Roscoe is, quite literally, terrified of the new kitten. He curls up in the fetal position with his tail in his face and starts making these odd, scared-sounding chirps and cries. He hisses if the kitten gets a little too close for comfort, but has made no attempt at swatting or biting or anything like that.
Any advice? I think I'll let Roscoe have some alone time for awhile after that...
