I’m 17 years old and recently got an eight week kitten on Friday, I had everything ready for her and stuff and was hoping she’d be able to help me with my PTSD, depression and anxiety. For some reason I always get severely stressed when she’s just being hyper at night. I know it’s only been three days but my dog Harry (A Lhasa Apso) is petrified of her because she won’t let him near him unless she’s eating, sleeping or is curious herself. I guess i’m just looking for reassurance that this behaviour is normal and they’ll get along eventually?
Currently I have covid for a second time so my mum’s boyfriend is sleeping downstairs so he doesn’t get it but Harry usually sleeps in my room. He no longer wants too because Esper’s (The kitten) is ruling the house. She caught onto litter training quickly and to stop her from eating stray litter I have her eat treats but is there a way I can help her and Harry get along so they can be in the same room together?
I should also add i’m a full time college student and i’m from England and i’m stressing about leaving her alone too. I have two full days (9am-4pm sometimes longer if i need to revise) and a three hour lesson in the morning on Friday plus one and a half hours in between the full days.
I’m naturally a very panicky person but I have noticed improvement with sleep with Esper even if she does wake me early. Sorry for the really long post I just need reassurance and advice. She keeps hissing and spitting at Harry and he shakes, pouts and moves away from her in return. Also any tips on stopping her from attacking carpet?
