I have a situation where I have a 5mo old kitten and I decided that it was unfair to only have "grown up kitties" in the house so I decided to adopt another kitten to be her playmate. I adopted an older kitten; apprx 10 months old. The older kitten just ignores the little one and the little one just hisses & growls. I have them seperated and have placed wash cloths w/ the other cats scent under their food bowls...
The rescue I got the 10mo old from only allows 72 hrs to return the animal. I really do not want to return her but I just don't see the two getting along. (personally i think it take a whole lot longer than 3 days for 2 cats to become aquainted) The new kitty just hides in any dark place she can find and doesn't seem to be warming up to me at all. Any ways of getting the little kitten to warm up to the bigger one? I now think I should have gotten a kitten younger in age so that my exsisting wouldn't feel so threatened. Do you think the two will just battle it out & become friends, or should I take this poor kitty back to the rescue? I hate being so limited on time... Im kinda confussed @ what to do. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
