Stressful kitten/ cat experience this morning
We got a 10 week old kitten last weekend and after a week of keeping her separate from my current cat, and doing the scent swapping and sniffing under the door, today was the day of the first visual interaction.
The kitten was in a cage borrowed from the vet, and my other cat Gizmo was at the door of the room the kitten was in. There was a bit of hissing, and the poor kitten was so terrified she was sick and then had diarrheoa. She has been suffering with diarrheoa all week so I feel like I've just made things worse now! What do I do now??? |

Poor kitten
If he has had the runs since you brought her home it could be a change of food. Give her a bland diet for a few days - plain boiled chicken breast is good with some of the liquid as a broth. if there's no improvement get a vet to check her over. When you register with a vet you usually get a free check up anyway.As for the introductions keep them apart for a little longer and when you let Gizmo see her be with her stoking her to tell her it's okay. Talk to them both very softly and keep calm yourself. You can expect some hissing and growling to start with but I doubt if her reaction to Gizmo caused the diarrhea.
