Hi,
Im new to the forum, i have some questions regarding my two kittens.
Weve had tigger since he was 8 weeks old, hes now 17 weeks old. Since both myself and my partner work, we did not want to leave him by himself all day, so we decided to give him some company.
Yesterday we got a 8 week old female called cleo, we was told by the breeder to introduce our kittens when cleo arrived since tigger is only a kitten himself (though after reading these forums it probably wasn't the best way to go). At first tigger hissed and remained distant (whilst getting in a right mood with us), through the night we did seperate them and now (day 2) he has stopped the hissing and investigates the new arrival whilst letting her do the same to him, though he has started to paw her, chase her and roll about with her, sometimes he has made her squeel, my partner thinks he is being playful without quite realising the size difference, but i am worried that he is actually being agressive, and may actually end up hurting cleo.
what makes my partner think that hes only being playful is that he doesnt seem unhappy and his tail isnt twitching, when pawing her his claws are not out, he licks her, allows her to share his toys and hes no longer in a mood with us.
What should we do, is tigger being too aggressive or just a playful kitten.
Any thoughts and advice on this matter would be most appreciated.
