Hi Cool Kats!!!
My introduction of my new kitty is still in the infant stage with my 2 resident kitties. I need some advise.
It has been about 1 month since new kitty has been brought home. I kept her separate through a screen for about a week. Then the screen came down but the litter and food are still separate in her room. My 2 cats are still really unhappy. The one kitty stares into the room all day, is really grumpy towards me and growls at me and the new kitty all of the time. My other kitty pretty much stays away from the new kitty but gets into the action with hissing when she comes upstairs and sees her.
I am trying to be very patient and not be upset by my resident cats' behavior, but I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing keeping the litter and food separate still.
It has gotten a little better. Occasionally all three can be in one room without too much stress.
I am also able to leave them alone without separating them.
HOW MUCH LONGER???? My stress level rises with each passing week.
