We brought home a new guy yesterday, 5month old Rocky, and he’s such a sweet, affectionate, loving kitten!!
I instantly introduced him to our 5 year old ginger tabby, Bowser, who is not super affectionate, friendly-ish, and cute but not cuddly.
Bowser lost his life-long brother, Sylvester, 2 weeks ago (he was 16). So I assumed he was missing a friend. However, he kinda HATES the new addition.
After reading the forum a little, I’m going back to the drawing board. Have a safe room set up in our spare room for Rocky... will work on scent introductions this week and MAYBE more visuals next weekend.
Why did I assume it would be easy??!! Lol
