Hello everyone, I am new here and am looking for some help. I have read a lot of articles on introducing a new cat to the resident one but my problem is a little different. Just so you know, they are both spayed/neutered.
I recently adopted a 4 month year old kitten on Sunday that I have named Nova. She is very playful, been told she has been around dogs and cats and is pretty independent. My lovely 2 year old cat Bruce is sweet, affectionate and gentle. I have separated them for the first couple of days and only let them interact under supervision. Bruce tries to play with Nova but she hisses at him, growls then runs away. But sometimes she tries to play with him but then starts to hiss at him. They even touch noses. When I play with them both, she kind of is afraid to go near him. I am thinking he is too big and she is afraid of him but wants to interact. Bruce is completely unfazed by her hissing, he just stares at her or respects her wishes and wants away but he just wants to play with her. I am unsure what I can do, I just want them to get along, my poor Bruce really wants to play with her.
