Hi Friends,
We just adopted a new 16 week old kitten and she won't stop crying. It is non stop, constant wailing. She stops when we play with her and if I sit next to her on the floor and pet her without stopping.Last night I tried sleeping out in the living room with her and I was up all night. She would calm down for maybe 10 minutes and then come up and meow directly in my ear until I start petting her again. This is the second night of it and it is 1:30 and I'm still up. I'm usually in bed and asleep by 9:30. I don't want to leave her and go to the bedroom, because she tries to climb up the baby gate when I do, and generally flips out when she's alone. I'm afraid to even go to the bedroom.
I honestly don't know what is best to do. I also have another cat that we are trying to slowly introduce to the kitten (saw her once when we brought her home and hissed, so we're taking it slow). She got no attention today because every time I left the room to spend time with her, kitten would freak out. That isn't good for her either. I don't know what is best to do. Do I leave her in the living room by herself and let her "cry it out" or continue trying to be there for her at the expense of my older cat?
I would appreciate any advice you guys have.
