crandles can't cope

[antoj]

ok so here is a picture of the new cat clicky.

he's cute. and hyper. VERY HYPER. lol.

Crandles doesn't like him though. At all. I feel really bad for her. When I came home from work yesterday she came to greet me as per usual, but crawled out from behind the television to do it. :(

Today when I woke up, she was back behind the tv again. The kitten was put in the other room and I coaxed her out from behind the TV, then I put her in my room again and she's been in here all day since then. I feel bad for her because she's tried to leave twice, only to come running back in less than 5 seconds later because she saw the kitten again.

I wonder how long it will take her to adapt, or if there's something I can do to let her warm up to him. I mean, I assume she will anyway, and he is put in the other room at night so she can have free roam then... and... I have some water/food for her in my room... but still. She isn't used to this. :(

It's been two days though, and Crandles isn't the best at coping with new things (LIKE ME) but she is my kitty so I just feel like I need to do something. :(

Aw, poor Crandles. No advice here--my two kitties were practically raised together since birth--but I'm sure she'll warm up to him eventually.

PS - Your new kitten looks like my friend's incredibly stupid cat. XD

I hope she will. The problem is she hisses at him and then runs away. He knows hissing means to leave alone (as our other cat just hisses and lays there, he leaves her alone) but when she runs he thinks its a fun exciting game and chases her... and that just terrifies crandles even more. :| We're trying to keep him from chasing her but she ALWAYS runs away and he's a tiny hyper cat. I'm glad she has my room to hide in that isnt behind the TV but its still sad.

LOL He is a very common cat-pattern... I actually know a few cats that look similar to him... but that is kind of funny. Its too early to tell how his intelligence is, but he is very friendly (and not afraid of anything)
