Wow, thanks guys!
I do think it makes sense that she would be a little nervous getting off the bed to go potty. Momo does ambush her on a regular basis, but not always when she jumps off the bed. Their encounters range from sleeping feet from each other to pouncing and his mouth on her in a controlling, dominant sort of way. Not bites, exactly.
But the strange thing is there haven’t been any accidents while we’re gone for the day – just when we’re sleeping. And I know she sleeps on the bed occasionally because we’ve walked in on her sleeping there.
So during the day she is comfortable jumping off the bed and going about her business, but at night this changes.
Man, I am so hoping I don’t have to re-introduce them! I’ve been able to have treat, food, and play sessions with them together. Also, I was wracked with anxiety with the thought of keeping the kitten separated from contact for such a long period of time (my husband and I are gone 10 hours a day, 5 days a week). I thought that would do more damage than good, so I introduced them over the span of a weekend. I know that is sooner than most cases of introduction . . . I didn’t really know what else to do, I guess.
Well, now that that’s out of the way LOL – I will definitely continue to monitor their interactions. I do already; I get sort of “hover-y”. I try not to be, as I know this could make them both more nervous. But I will keep all this in mind.
As for the vet, I’ll call them tomorrow and ask if he thinks I should bring her in. She has a follow up at the end of July, but I realize if she has an infection of any kind this is too long to wait. I will say though that she was at the vet last Saturday. I brought her there before I even brought her home. The guy who found her brought her to a PetSmart vet the day before for her shots, but she was so frail and little that I wanted my vet to see her. So, she’s got a clean bill of health so far! Albiet, no urine testing has been done this far.
I appreciate all the advice guys. This is some great insight. I will def be posting pictures at some point and updates!
Also, please excuse any typos. I’m typing all this from my phone.
