Some of you may have come across my other posts... if so you know how one of my cats had cancer and has since had to be put to sleep.
Well, Isabel (my other cat who is two) was instantly severely lonely and I have gone out and bought a 9 week old kitty. I am now the nervous owner. I've never introduced one so small before.
Here is how it is going so far, I would like to know if this is good.
I introduced them while the little one was still in the carrier, it looked good so I let her out. The little one went exploring for about two hours and Isabel followed her one step behind everywhere. The little one, whom I named Sarah, was too busy investigating her new home to give Isabel much mind.
After that I think they had a bit of a falling out and it made me nervous so I pulled them away from each other. They were pawing at each other and making noise.
Then I took the little one to my room where she shortly fell asleep on my bed. Then I brought Isabel in the room and sat next to Sarah with her and Isabel gave Sarah licks from head to toe them went to bite her neck. This made me nervous... though perhaps she was only meaning to carry the little one away or move her. I pulled them apart and the little one awoke and growled at Isabel. Then Sarah fell right back to sleep, Isabel tried it one more time but I discouraged her then she got bored and went away. I picked Sarah up and have her asleep on my lap now as I right this.
My question is... should I relax a bit and leave Isabel alone?
