Hi! My friend's cat had kittens in late February... I immediately told her I wanted one... and picked her up a couple days shy of 8 weeks old.... We've had her for 18 days now.
One of the people who was supposed to take another of the kittens backed out and said she didn't want one anymore. We decided to take her on... I had seen lots of pictures of our current kitten cuddling with her... they seemed to really bond. Today we went to get the new kitten... and I stupidly thought they'd just remember each other... it's only been 2 1/2 weeks! They HATE each other... it's hissing, and swatting.... I have them separated right now with new kitten in a bathroom with food, water, bedding, and a litter box and current kitten has run of the house...
I don't know if this matters, but kitten 1 is very playful, kind of small, and extremely friendly. Kitten 2 is giant and pretty timid. How can/should I reintroduce them? Will they always hate each other? I want to see them play together, not just tolerate each other. To clarify they are both now 10 weeks old.
