Hi,
Last week I got two amazing kittens. They both lost their moms at very young age. One is a 4 weeks old male, extremely polite, cute and playful called "Poothmar". He came in the morning, and the other kitten came in the evening, she is 3/4 months old, crazily hyper active and playful and she's called "Thoothmar" (means alligator in Persian).
this is Poothmar:
and here is Thoothmar:
Thoothmar the girl doesn't like Poothmar AT ALL. The very first moment she came to my place, they were both in the same room, the girl started hissing and went to hide. She even hated me for 3 or 4 days, even hissing while I wanted to feed her. Immediately after this first encounter (and my first mistake probably) I moved Poothmar to my room and let Thoothmar (the girl) stay in the other room. Things went like this for a day or two. After the girl became friends with me and accepted me as her new mom, I tried to introduce them to each other while playing with both but the girl was hissing and growling all the time and even started to hit him with one of her hands. Poothmar was so tiny and did nothing, just stared at the girl and walked back towards me. I exchanged some of their toys till now, and let them interact from bottom of the door batting at each other’s paws. Actually just the girls does that and Poothmar does nothing but a little hissing back. I also tried to make them scent like each other by rubbing a little amount of coconut oil under their chins and at the top of their tails. Still the girl hisses when she sees his shadow from the bottom of the door and poses like she wants to hit him or attack him. I'm really worried, not disappointed but a bit worried things might not work after all. I wanted two kittens because I'll be out for working most times in the year so I wanted them to have a buddy.
I know it's typical and normal for kittens to behave like this, I've read so many tips to make them get along slowly and I'm not disappointed but I want to be sure if I'm doing it right. Any insights? I'd be very happy to hear some.
