Hi all!
I have a 10 week old Siamese kitten who is in the process of being introduce to my other 4 year old Siamese (it is a long process because our 4 year old is quite spoiled, anxious, maybe territorial and an only child)
The issue is that I do not remember our 4 year old screaming and crying this much when we are not in the kitten's room with her. My husband works from home all day long in the room with her, so she is definitely getting enough attention during the day- but when we leave her alone, she screams.
It is not helping the introduction process with my 4 year old who has anxiety issues. Things have been going great, until the baby screams. My 4 year old gets all freaked out and will show redirected aggression towards us (smacks.. that's really it but it makes me upset). I know she will get used to it eventually. It has only been 2 weeks.
How do I soothe the baby screams? She cannot get used to us being home and attentive to her all of the time. Is it time for some tough love?
