Hi! I just joined this site so I'm sorry if this isn't the appropriate place for this.
Anyways, today my mom adopted a new cat. Yesterday I told her all the things I learned about how to introduce cats. (keeping them separated etc) and she said okay and thats what we'll do.
Well, comes to find out she just plopped them together. They havent hissed or really attacked each other, just sometimes go at each other then my old cat will run. For the most part, the new cat will just be walking around and my old cat will follow her and just...stare at her. Like now hes sitting on my bed staring at her while shes sitting on a dresser.
I feel really upset right now because I love my old cat to shreds and want him to be happy. In fact I was crying earlier because I felt guilty for getting this new cat. I was the one who begged for it and now I feel like crap about it.
Am I overreacting? Is this normal for him to just kinda stare? Theres been a few times where hell go up to her and raise his paw but not do anything. Sometimes she'll walk up to him sniff then leave. Sometimes she'll go at him and hell run a little then stare. Like I said, I want my little guy to be happy with this new cat. Advice?
