Our sweet baby girl, Mari, was a singleton kitten when we took her in from our backyard.
We really want to get her a playmate since right now we’re home often since I’m off college for the summer and my sisters are also off for the summer, but starting September, we won’t be.
What’s the best way to introduce our hopefully new baby boy, Roo (whose neutered) to Mari?
They are roughly the same age, she’s a bit older although we believe she it going to be of a smaller size, since her mom was small as well.
We ordered a clear playpen so we can put him in, keeping him safe from her but also allowing them to smell and see each other. Would it be best to put the playpen in an area she’s mostly in?
Is there any way their feeding should change? She eats in the kitchen, from her water bowl and food bowl.
For Roo, I know it’s not safe to change his food in one go... how should we go about this?
This is our first time having a kitten - we never thought we’d get two. It’s a bit stressful but I know we can do it.
Thank you in advance.
much love
