Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post this! So I just adopted a second cat after about 6 months of considering it and thinking that it would be nice to have a friend for my current cat who is usually calm, friendly, and very playful. The kitten is 2 months old, blind, and very friendly/affectionate. However, my current cat (2 years old) is NOT happy, the kitten is in a separate room but the scent is enough to completely stress my cat out. She goes around hissing, growling and swatting at the door (this is the first time I've ever heard her hiss/growl). She usually loves pets but when I try to pet her she growls at me and runs. I'm starting to feel really guilty, wondering if this was the right decision. I love providing a home for a blind kitten and he really is a sweet little guy, but my heart hurts for my current cat. So my questions are:
-How long did it take for your cats to adjust to each other after adopting the second cat?
-Is it normal to feel guilty after adoption when your current cat is so unhappy?
I have no plans of bringing the kitten back to the shelter so I'm really hoping they can bond at some point.
