So the first day i opened the door and use a pet gate it was ok. Rivel won't eat around the kitten, so i fed her in the kitchen. The next day, it's slightly getting worse, she's less keen to play, doesn't try to wake me up, kinda aggressive towards me.
Now today it's so difficult just to get her to eat. I work up morning, she doesn't eat. Eventually i spent so much time persuading her to it, no result, so i had to go to work. At noon i come home during break to check her out. Rivel still isn't eating, i kinda panicked so i got silver out of the house, fed her outside, so she slept on the bench she slept before i took her in. After that, i managed to hand-feed rivel bits of dry food. After that i left for work again, leaving silver outside sadly. I know she's safe and know the place there since she stayed there for 2 weeks, so at least for temporary measure to get rivel calm down again, i let her out.
In the evening, i come home rivel is still a little bit hesitant, but she's finally eating, but still jumpy at noises. The thing is she still follows me like usual when i prepare her food. She went to the kitchen with me, meows like she usually does, then i set her plate down, she hesitate, like checking her surroundings. Sniffed the food a bit, look at her back, look at the direction of the bathroom where i kept silver in, and hear ears rotates scanning for sound after that she just turn away. Sometimes she hides under the sofa, sometimes under kitchen table and oh boy, it's so hard to persuade her to eat. This morning and noon took like 1 hour. This evening, it only took a little time and she ate her wet food, but still looks uncomfortable and anxious. I don't know what to do. I love rivel and i really has taken a liking to silver. I don't know if i should keep trying, possibly at the expense of Rivel's health, or i should give it up and start searchin for people who want to adopt silver.
Silver herself is cheerful, easygoing as ever. She basically settled herself almost instantly, so whatever happens, she will easily find a place for her wherever.
I don't know, i am really stressed over this, i wanted to help silver to have the love she deserve, but anything that makes rivel uncomfortable makes me stressed too. It's just so sad seeing my baby not eating. Again, rivel is a very jumpy cat, maybe another cat is just too much for her? I am just devastated and confused.
