So the title does sound pretty bad. But let me clear that up. So my housemate is moving away and will be taking her two cats with her. Because my cat is used to playing with one of hers during the day. I thought it’d be best to get her a companion so she wouldn’t become lonely when they leave. However since I’ve brought a kitten home (8wk female) my sweet girl is hissing and doesn’t want to come near me or cuddle/snuggle at night which she has done since she herself was a kitten (she 2yrs old). Now this kitten is so affectionate and I’ve already fallen in love with her. But the reason I regret it is not because I don’t want her. But because the stress it seems to have put on my older girl (OG). I’m worried that she won’t become her old loving self and will stay as a hostile cat. Is there anything I can do to help them bond? Issue is housemate hasn’t moved out of her room so there isn’t a room I can completely isolate the new kitten unless I shut her in the toilet room (extremely small only contains the toilet and has no air circulation), so that’s not an option. So she has to be “out”. Kitten herself has gone up to OG to play/say hello but she doesn’t have a bar of it. OG can be in the same room now but will stare at her and hiss/carry on if she moves the slightest in her direction. I don’t want OG thinking the new kitten is taking over and I don’t want her to feel left out. But I feel like my cat is showing resentment towards myself and isn’t happy. Also it’s only been two days, I know that’s not long but I miss seeing my happy cat. So reddit what do I do?
