Willow (the cat in my kitchen) has been here for almost two weeks now - we have been having regular meetings recently and 'accidentally' leaving the kitchen door open as part of the introductions.
The thing is, Willow will hiss, growl and swat at Tibby (obviously, I stop this before it actaully happens), yet will do nothing towards Molly. Tibby seems quite intimidated by Willow and vice versa. Molly and Willow will just look at eachother and make a little peep style meow!
EDIT: However, having said this, when Tibby and Willow are in the same room, Tibby is quite content to sleep while Willow plays - there will be no problems at all
Tibby will watch and then fall back to sleep....
I was wondering if this has anything to do with:
Molly's size - she's 2 years old and smaller than the six month old kitten?
The fact that Willow isn't neutered and Tibby is?
Do you think that if I get Willow neutered, this will ease the tension between them?!
I'm worried about the progress of the introductions and would be very grateful for any advice I can get on this!
Thank you in advance!
