Okay so I've had our cat Max for about 3 to 4 weeks now he is settling in well he is kept in the room mostly for now as he is still getting used to everything and we are still in recession of moving furniture etc in to house. He is very playful and seems to be very active. He sheds like crazy and loves getting a brush or bring played with with his cat dancer. He is eating well and lives to sleep but ever since we introduced him into the kittens he hides away under the covers of his room more than ever under pillows and cover not sure if he is hiding or if he likes comfort and warmth or bring under the remaining he is always seeming friendly ears up and receptive time stroking playing and cuddling when we approach him. The kittens are 9 weeks old nearly ten. Playful active and curious getting into everything. When they first arrived we didn't know about properijdrocusctions and have nothing to separate the doors with like if we open doors nothing to separate the cats from flying for each other.
What we did was we put our kittens wrappear into a blanket to try make them seem like babies and not threateningmuch he responded well but his mouth moved up as if he was gonna growl but think it was just him smelling things. Do then we put the kittens blanket into Maxs room and he slept with it curled up so positive sign.
The kittens have a pop up tent bed which Maxs pillow for him to sleep in is in there and the kittens got used to it quick.
We then took a next step and after introducing each cat separately to the house and giving them time to explore we let the doors open and hot max out and opened the door to the kittens room but max was too quick he got into their room saw them and froze curled up with tail curled around body extremely low ( to appear less threatening or protective I don't know) he stayed at doorway for the whole introduction our confident kitten Jasper made his way over to him slowly and then max didn't move just looked at him so jasper moved closer again reached his pay out to max then moved closer and they sniffed each other and max let jasper sniff his nose. Them jasper slowly mic 3d to go past naxos and went out the door to the hall he 3xplored a bit and max didn't bother until jasper started walking on Maxs mat he used to use for food but doesn't use anymore. Max turned to look at Jasper and then growled very low and hissed. We got scared and picked the kittens up careful not to upstairs max and coaxed max to his room to get food. We have been also introduced invoice their sets to each other by clapping one then going in to clap the other. Should we have interviewed when max growled and hissed or let it play out? We were just concerned for our kittens safety and Maxs happiness as well how can we make sure the introductions go safely and that they have a positive experience associated with them? what can I do to make sure that mac doesn't feel replaced and he accepts them as part of his family or St leat tolerates them? I don't want them to keep in rooms for too long I want them all to be able to go in any room of the house they want
Thanks guys in very new at owning kittens.
