Hello !
I took in a lost kitten two days ago (we might keep him if we don’t find the owners) and I already have a kitten that is around the same age as him which is great, but the introduction process was really messy.
I live in an apartment with my family and I tried to keep them separated but they keep sneaking out, chasing each other and even using each other's litter boxes ! Sometimes they lay next to each other calmly but the resident cat usually end up running away ... all that in 2 days, it’s been really crazy lately !
I read the dedicated article on cat introductions, so I try to use the advices on positive association, meal and playtime and most of the time the resident cat like to observe the new comer which is normal I guess.
The new kitty is the lovely and very friendly, but the resident cat keep hissing and hitting him (without his claws so it’s fine but I stop him if he does)
I’m sure they are gonna be good friends in the future but I would appreciate any advice on how I can make it easier for the resident cat at this point ? (Knowing that I can’t keep them separate at all times, especially at night)
