Hello, so 3 days ago I got a new 13 week old kitten. My current cat is 4 years old and always had my dog as a buddy, but unfortunately my dog passed away a few months ago at 16 years old. He has been a bit under the weather ever since, especially because he’s very social and wants constant attention and loved hanging out with my dog. The new kitten I got has a beautiful personality, she didn’t even hide the first day and immediately slept with me and has been eating and playing and exploring. I’ve been keeping her in my room. I’ve made sure to assure my current cat of our love, and he’s known something is up because I’ve been keeping the room to my door closed. I’m sure he has had to heard her meow. The kitten has also heard my cat meow and responded.
Unfortunately I’m home alone right now so I had to leave my room to go get breakfast, and my resident cat was in my hallway when I opened the door to my room. Previously the kitten had hidden when we opened the door but not anymore, she’s been trying to get out. So of course my resident cat saw her and immediately widened his eyes and crawled towards the door but I closed it.
The kitten also saw him and she’s currently laying in front of the door where he is and trying to touch him with her paws underneath the door. My cat is outside and occasionally hissing. The kitten only hissed once but the rest of the time she had her tail up in a question mark and just wants to touch him through the crack under the door.
I wanted to wait longer to introduce them (Using a gate, etc). Should I be worried now that my resident cat saw her?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
