Tiberius is getting a brother! We are SO EXCITED. It has been a long road to get him stable (he has finicky IBD) and we bought a home so we are in a position to open our hearts to a new little love.
But, for every bit as excited as I am I am terrified! Tiberius is my first cat, and he came to us as an adult, so every part of having a kitten and cat introduction is new to me. So I would love advice.
Our new baby will be 7 weeks old when we bring him home, which I know is too young but they are keeping him locked in a basement without socialization and adopting out all his siblings. So I worry that leaving him there does more harm then good? So things I specifically need help with:
-Tiberius is 7 - 8 yrs old and must eat prescription food, so ways I can keep him out of baby food? I was thinking cutting a small hole into a storage container that he can't get into (Tiberius is quite large)
-Tips for the introduction of the new baby and the resident captain. I am aware they will need to remain separate as part of the introduction process and until babies health can be assured as Tiberius has a very sensitive immune system
-How to socialize a 7 week old kitten?
-What do I do if the kitten bites us? Yelp and freeze like a puppy?
-I plan to feed primarily wet food - I'm thinking Royal Canin Babycat?
-Anything else I am probably missing....
Thank you! Oh and these little marshmallow pudge muffin is our new baby!
