Hi all!
I got a new 8 week old kitten yesterday, I already have a 6 month old kitten as well (both female) the 6 month old one is spayed and affectionate towards me and my husband.
Last night when I brought the new one home we lifted both cats and let them sniff each other then we set them both down and they sniffed around each other and seemed curious enough. The older one was slightly scared of the new one but she would not stop stalking the new one, she followed it most of the time but nothing major happened. We kept them in separate rooms last night to sleep and got separate litter trays food and water for them both because I didn't want my older cat to feel the new one was taking over.
Now this morning my husband has told me that when he let them meet again my older cat started growling at the new one and went to swipe at it. I'm so worried they won't get along, what should I do? Has anyone experienced this before? I don't know what the best plan of action is.
Thanks in advance for your help
Laura
