Aspen is now 4.5 months old, she’s an amazing kitten and we love her very much. She’s spayed already and usually the chilliest kitten.
Today, I purchased another Persian/Himalayan kitten from the same breeder, same parents as Aspen. I have been reading articles on introduction. We thought Aspen would be excited for a new play mate. We enter our home and as usual, Aspen comes to greet us at the door and we are holding the new kitten. Aspen spots the new kitten hisses violently and runs away. To be honest I didn’t expect that from her.
We obviously have separated them and I got Aspen to her safe space but now she’s freaking out and hissing at me! Is it normal for her to be this angry with me personally? She’s still hissing at me since we got in the door. It’s been an hour. Aspen is literally so nice and calm. I feel like I betrayed her. I really like this new kitten, but I’m sad for upsetting Aspen so badly. Who else experienced this? How long for things to settle? Please advise. I know this is a common question and I’m also reading up but would like to hear from others for some comfort
