My man and I got our big cat, Bela, about 3 years ago; she was a stray that we took in. Last week our new addition, Babu, moved in. She is a very young kitten that we got from a shelter. We are giving them separate domains to live in (Bela is downstairs, she chose of her own will) and Babu is upstairs, with her own room we can shut her in when we are at work or sleeping.
Things are going up and down quite a bit. At first Bela would let us carry her upstairs till a few nights ago she started hissing and refusing to sleep with us. So we took a break and no longer make her come upstairs unless she wants too. Then she seemed better and Babu and Bela were having meals the last 2 days with things going really well and only mild hissing.
But then last night something changed in our big cat Bela. The night feeding went really well, but then suddenly last night and today she looks very depressed and is scared to come in her own house which is making my guy and I very upset.
We just want her to know that she is the boss in this house and no kitten will replace our love for her, though Babu is super cute. We just wish we could make her understand that our love won't change and she'll still have everything as it was before. Anyway Bela seems to be going up and down with her emotions quite a bit and I am wondering if anyone else has had this with their cats?
