So we adopted 2 female sisters about 2 years ago from a breeder. So sadly we lost one of them this past July, she hung herself in our tree with her leash. It was very tragic and heartbreaking, without going too much more into that, long story short. Our kitten "Mishka" started suffering what we could only describe as separation anxiety after the loss of her sister. She is a very outgoing a brave young cat, we take her almost everywhere with us, she has been on harness and leash since she was 12 weeks old, and we walk her like people walk dogs. We contacted the breeder and all agreed that it would be good for her and for us to replace the kitten we lost with a new one. We didnt forsee too much issues in assimilating a baby kitten into our home, but as the Bengal breed remains true to its mysterious instincts, our Mishka is terrified of the baby kitten. So strange where not even big dogs frighten her. She has been so incredibly mean, constantly hisses and growls at the kitten. Fortunately the kitten does not seem to be too perturbed by her tirades, and it has not escalated to violence but we fear she may never accept this beautiful little kitty. We need some advice as it's been 4 days and doesnt seem to be much progress made. Does anyone have any tricks or some ideas me might try to help her to accept this new addition to our family?
