Hi everyone! I have two wonderful furry friends, Martini and Paloma. Martini is my first cat, he's very outgoing, loves running between your legs and rubbing up against me, and snuggling right up on my face each morning, and is around 2.5 to 3 years old. I brought home a little sister, Paloma, for him last Friday night (6 days ago) because he is such a love. She's around 4.5 months and is plenty playful but also very gentle. She's outgoing and is a purring machine. I separated them for a few days, during which Martini hissed at the door a few times. After switching environments, swapping toys, shared meals, etc. I introduced them and they been playing ever since! There has been no hissing or growling or anything and they both seem comfortable around each other so it's hard to tell who has established themselves as the "Alpha," but maybe it's Paloma because she's a bit more rambunctious? Anyways, the important part: Ever since I brought Paloma home, Martini has been distant from me. He's not nearly as affectionate, not doing morning snuggles and just generally seems to have a bit of an attitude with me. He's still sleeping with us at night, but I can just tell something is different and it's really breaking my heart to think he's upset.
Sorry about the rambling, does anyone have any advice? I know it's only been six day but it feels like it's been a long time.
Thanks in advance! I've attached some pictures of my little loves!
