Just curious about how far "letting them work it out" goes in terms of introductions?
We first introduced Maui into the household to Coffee a year ago now, and they are still in the "working things out" stage. Coffee is afraid of Maui, and wants nothing to do with her, and Maui thinks it is just the most entertaining thing ever to pester Coffee like an annoying little sibling. While they don't get in "fight" fights, it's a lot of grumbling/growling/hissing from Coffee when Maui gets too close, and sometimes some very theatrical yowling. I realize that this is stressful for Coffee which makes me want to separate them, but at the same time, Maui isn't actually attacking her. They've never drawn blood. So I don't know how much of it I need to be interfering versus letting it go.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
