QuestionDear Karisa--I have a new 4 month old kitten for only two days. I also have two 6 year old cats. My cats have always been very bland, so I didn't expect a big problem, but now I am wondering if I can keep the little one. I isolated him in a bedroom, but he constantly cries and bangs against the door. As I live in an apartment, and this bothers others, I had to let him out. The older cats constantly growl and hiss and run under the bed. They seem more than a little depressed, and they will not eat. I am very worried about them. The kitten is fine and wants to be friendly. I know it takes time, but this is not a good start, and I will be away Sun.-Thurs. I have to leave them all out together, or the little one will cry constantly. This way the others will be miserable. Someone comes in twice a day to feed. I appreciate any advice you can give. Thank you. Judy, New York City
Answerleaving them alone is the best way for them to get used to each other, i have seven cats and they all had to get used to each other and now they are best of friends.I left for a weekend and when i came back they were all friends.One of my cats takes a little longer to get along, but after a couple weeks he was fine.
