Hey everyone, I thought I would give an update on now being a 2 cat household & the trials that have been going on for the past few days.
Pumpkin has been making vast improvements since I brought Nilla home on Saturday. At first, she hissed, growled, & wouldn't even come near me. Since then, Pumpkin has been trying really hard. She knows that Nilla is in my room, and has started coming to the door and meowing outside of it & Nilla goes to the door, and then Pumpkin starts to hiss at her. Nilla doesn't do anything, she just sits at the door, almost like waiting to play with her. yesterday when Nilla was asleep on my shoulder, Pumpkin opened the door & walked into my room, hissed a bit, smelled and left. Nilla doesn't do anything when Pumpkin is by the door, or they can see each other through the door being cracked.
Today, the boy and I are going to have Pumpkin in my room for a little bit and have Nilla explore the rest of the house, by herself without any intimidation from Pumpkin.
We are trying to take things really slow with these two and take the introductions slow and steady, with more contact each day. They will not get full contact with each other until Nilla goes for her kitten checkup.
Sorry it's so long, just want to let everyone know.
