Hi all,
I just adopted a new baby almost a week a go. I posted her pic on the "No Dogs Allowed" thread but also was wondering if maybe some of you can help me out. The introduction process has been a little stressful for me and my older cat too, I''m sure. Meadow is 3 yo and my new baby, "Wednesday", is 4 months old.
I am following some things I''ve read online, about keeping them separated, letting Wednesdays scent get on a blanket and laying that blanket down near Meadow, etc. Meadow goes to the the door to Wednesday''s room sometimes but not that often. When I bring Wednesday out, for small amounts of time, Meadow hisses and growls.
I expected that but what do I do eventually? When can I just let Wednesday run freely and what happens if Meadow attacks her! I feel scared about that b/c Wednesday is so little and she clearly has a lot of interest in Meadow. She looks so happy to see her, only to have grumpy Meadow hiss at her. It''s making me nuts.
Can some of the other multiple cat owners share their stores or secrets of success with me? I really don''t want to give Wednesday back to her foster mom.
Anyway, here''s the new baby. She''s such a sweetie. She instantly starts purring the minute you touch her and she nuzzles her little face in my neck when I''m holding her. She''s also very spunky and has endless amounts of energy. I just love her.
