So the new kitties have been in the house for over a week now. They have been living by themselves in an upstairs bedroom. After a week in the bedroom, I got a piece of plywood to block the stairway downstairs and then we allowed the kitties to roam everywhere upstairs. But the next step involves allowing the kittens and Bebe to meet. Bebe did know there were kittens in the bedroom. So how to facilitate their introduction. So I cut a hole in the plywood, and added some screening, and then one day Grace, the white kitten, and Bebe got to meet. There was some hissing, but it seemed to go well. A few days later we let all of them hang out together upstairs for an hour or so, and things went well.
Nice that you are taking the time to introduce them slowly. Bebe has been queen of the house for so many years, I would imagine it is such a big adjustment. Hope things continue to go well.

Glad to know that the meeting of cat and kittens is going well :-) You went through a lot of work to create a formal introduction!! bsk
ReplyDeleteA video of a fur flying cage match would be quite entertaining. Does your blog support videos? If it's really good you might be able to set it up as a pay per view.
