today I went to the pet shop and came across an adorable tabby, shes 10 weeks old and the store employees said shes been there forever so i decided to give her a pet and she was so happy she jumped into my arms! i said "well i can't not take her home!" i adopted her and i gave her the name Venus.
The only problem is i already have a 7 year old tabby named Leo. he has never really interacted with other cats and unfortunately when i put her box down Leo rushed in not knowing she was there and he had a bad reaction! i know cats do not immediately get along and i put her things in a separate room and theyre separated now. Leo seems to be a bit territorial but overall just has general dislike which i completely expect!
My reason for this thread is to get some advice unique to Leo. Leo has never really met other cats, only two to be exact and each interaction was no longer than 10 minutes or less. Leo has lived with tons of dogs and seems to be fine with them. one of the reasons i wanted a cat is because i felt like Leo could use a friend who is a cat and might make him less clingy to me and less lonely when i'm away or busy at home!
Sorry for the long post but i'd like some advice for a new kitty who seems very outgoing and an older cat whos a little adjustable and fine with dogs and extremely friendly. a question i do have is Leo is an older male and Venus is a tiny female, she seemed to shrink under Leo's gaze and I'm a bit worried but overall i think it's okay since Leo didnt try to attack her at all, he's just hissing and standoffish. Please any advice is welcome
