I just adopted a 9 week old female kitten. She came from a litter of 5 and a very boisterous household with 5 children, so she's used to noise/being held. Right now, since her initial vet check isn't for a few days and we have another cat, she's sequestered in a spare bedroom. She's got toys, boxes to climb in, food, water, warm towels to curl up in. She won't stop crying, though. When I go in to comfort her, she rushes over and jumps into my lap, purring, and loves all over me.
She's very affectionate, but she starts crying right after I leave. I know she misses her mother/brothers/sisters. Our house is definitely quiet compared to her old place, and this is just her first night.
I hate to hear her cry, though. Should I rush in there constantly, or should I leave her alone and let her get used to her situation?
I have a 7 year old male cat who's hissing at the door, which doesn't make things any easier.
She's so lonely that when I carry her around and she sees him, she struggles to get free so she can run to him. I know the proper way to integrate them, though, which I'll start after her vet check.
Any thoughts on the situation?
