I think it's going well so far, but I'm not sure since I've never introduced cats before.
Miko is a female about 3 years old and has lived with me for 2 years. We just brought home Tiger, a 9 month old female. Tiger is very laid-back and seems to have adjusted very well to her new surroundings. No hiding or anything.
Miko seems a little threatened. She mostly just stares at Tiger from a distance. And occassionaly gets up closer and hisses and growls a little. Tiger doesn't seem bothered and just backs away a little.
But there haven't been any fights or chases or anything.
Is all this normal? Anything I can do to help Miko feel less threatened and stop being a little bully?
How long does it usually take for the hissing phase to stop? It's the first day now...
