New kitten

[flojo75]

Hi folks,

I'm just after suggestions. I've just brought home a devon Rex kitten, I already have 2 Rex's, one of my cats (Scribs) has been very curious but very gentle & not at all aggressive. The other (mew) has hissed at him twice but has not just taken to ignoring him.
She's refused to eat all day & seems a bit subdued. My two older Devons are inseparable & are best buddies, however tonight Scribs went to play with mew as they do every night, & she turned on him & took herself upstairs. Every night without fail they lay out on my knee for the whole night.
Any suggestions as to why she is acting like this?

How old are Scribs and Mew and what sex are they? How old  is your new girl?

Scribs is one & mew is two. My new boy (Freddie) is 12 weeks old but is about the size of a 8-10 week old.
Don't know if this makes a difference but I got mew after she had, had a litter & all her kittens were sold.

Sorry forgot to say Scribs is male & mew obviously female.

Are your adults spayed and neutered now?

 

[flojo75]

Yes they both are

When did you bring Freddie home? Was he kept confined or were all the cats introduced right away?

I've sorted it out, poor old mew was unwell, she was sick 4 times & didn't eat for 2 days, hence her unwillingness to play & general ratty behaviour. She ok now thankfully.
Thank you for all your posts x
