Hi i have a 4 year old female (bella) and in last 2 days got an 8 week old female (sherbet) and the introduction is not going well
the initial reaction of bella when introduced to sherbet was to turn tail and run out of the door as fast as her legs would carry her we tried sitting in a closed room with them both and that produced a little hissing and lots of throat noises from bella but she again ran away as fast as she could at the first opportunity. bella tends to sleep in the spare room all day and be out during the night but she has a flap and comes and goes as she likes but the last 2 days has refused to enter the house unless i bring her in and lock the flap. sherbet is quite happy and runs after bella who cant get away fast enough. I dont want bella to feel she cant come in and certainly dont want her to run away she is a star. Help i dont know how to deal with this as it is the last reaction i expected!
