I am getting a new kitten in two weeks. I've been interacting with her/the mum since she was born so she's familiar with me.
I have two cats - Poppy, blind, two and a half and Milo, nearly two. Both are big cats. He is 6kg and not fat, just tall and long. Poppy is 7kg but fat and of course can't see.
I live in a one bed house, the downstairs is open plan.
I'm planning to pick Mindy up on the Sunday morning and spend all week with her, with the exception of when I HAVE to go out (I have a week's holiday).
The thing is, I don't want to have to shut her in the bathroom overnight, but I'm ok with leaving her shut in the bedroom if I'm out of the house. Both Poppy and Milo have free use of my house.
When I introduced Milo to Poppy, we had a bit of hissing, then whacking, then rough and tumble over the space of 36 hours and now they have the odd tiff where he tries to play and she of course can't see him. So Mindy will be his playmate. Hopefully.
I'm just worried because she is literally a fifth of his size at the moment and won't be too much bigger in two weeks time. I don't want her bullied, even accidentally, by Milo. Poppy I suspect will just walk away if Mindy tries to get close.
Any tips for the above re introductions?
