Before giving your new kitten a tour of the full house,
“Give him plenty of time to become
accustomed to a new space.”
All kittens will require some time
to explore their environment.
If you first restrict the available
space by confining your new cat in a single room, this will be less
daunting for him.
Give him plenty of time to
get used to this space.
Your other pets and the new kitten
will get to know each other’s cues
and signals as well as mutual
respect and trust. Anxiety levels
are reduced on both sides when
this occurs. The new kitten needs a place to climb or hide in order to
get away from the circumstance
till that time comes.
Cats instinct must also be met
because in the wild, they climb trees and lounge on their
branches.
Cats prefer to nap on the back of
the nicest chair in the home, but
comfortable, accessible bedding
in a peaceful area
will encourage the cat to sleep
in his own space.
The new kitten might not have
as much trouble if the current
pet is an adult cat rather than a
dog.
As long as their territory is
maintained
And they don’t feel
abandoned, the majority of adult
cats are reasonably accepting of
kittens. It’s crucial to spend quality time with the new cat as well as
the existing one.
In fact, spending more time with
the older cat
during this transitional phase is a
smart idea. You must discourage
competition in addition to
avoiding competition for attention.
The most rewarding part is so cute, when they’ll play fight or watch birds together and then out of nowhere the adult cat will start grooming the kitten. Even cuter, occasionally the kitten will waddle up to the adult and plop down and then the grooming commences.
develop a bond.
They’ll groom each other, play
together, and sleep close to one
another.
If competition is kept to a minimum and the existing cat has been
yearning for a friend, this is more
likely to happen.
