Hi guys, I’m cat sitting for a friend for the first time and my cat is TERRIFIED of him. What can I do? :(

Today’s the first day he’s in my house... I had him walking around near me, he doesn’t like my little chihuahua but my dog always listens to me... it’s the opposite with my cat. When my cat saw him, he wasn’t afraid but she was hissing and growling and puffing up (she’s the sweetest and I can’t remember the last time she did that.) So I put him in my room with the baby gate up (he has his litter box in here as well as his food, water and his crate.)

When I tried to console my cat after putting him in my room, she was reacting to me the same way as him. My poor girl, I backed off but then I smelled her ‘terrified’ scent. Broke my heart. :(

I want him to be comfortable but sorry, my kitty is important too. What can I do? I don’t want him to be locked up in here the whole week but I also don’t want a fight to break out or my cat to have a heart attack... she’s an older kitty

Thanks everyone
