Hey there I got my first boy about 2 months ago, so he is about 4 month old and he was kind of aggressive but never to me, I had 2 female friends come over and he would hiss and growl at them, but never at me, (I'm female too) and if I had male friends over to play games he would chill with them and cuddle up on their lap.
My Boy recently started getting a bit more aggressive with me so I read online in a bunch of places that maybe getting a second cat would help because he would have someone to play with and they can communicate better as to how much something is hurting etc. So I honestly thought I would be doing him a favour in bringing him home a friend to play with.
The kitten I ended up getting him as a friend was a bit younger then I had hoped for, and they don't exactly like each other (granted the new kitten just came home today) but my original boy is seriously not digging having a "friend"
My female friend came over today to help me try to get them adjusted but it seems to have caused some more strife, my original cat has a blanket he normally sleeps on my my feet at my computer desk so after his growling and hissing fit I put him in the bathroom and closed the door and rubbed the blanket on the new kitten then put it in the bathroom in the sink (where my first cat likes to sleep) and I went back a few minutes later and he was sleeping on it.
I want to let them both near each other but Im scared my first cat will try to kill the second cat v.v
I really don't know what to do... I don't want my boy being as aggressive as he is being right now...
any ideas?
