Ripley and Kitten update

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to my previous thread about my worries of introducing a new kitten to my 18 month old big fluffy scardey cat, Ripley. Without your advice the little kitty would have surely gone back to the rescue centre as I felt I was keeping her for selfish reasons.

Kitty was in the cage when first introduced them and this was it;

And she ran upstairs and stayed there for days, barely coming down to eat at times just sitting on the stairs, staring and running back up if anyone came near

After just under a week we began to see progress when Ripley ate for the first time next to Newt

Resident cats really do surprise you sometimes when you foist a new kitten on them. My Burmese girl has always been a bit of a bully and played roughly/fought with two of my other cats, who lived in constant fear of the Grey Fighting Cat. So, when I got my MC boy last week, I was certain that there would be problems for the little guy and he would get injured by Abby. First she was scared of him, then she was wary of him, one week later they are tear-arsing around, chasing each other and having a whale of a time playing.

I guess you never can tell how things are going to turn out, but they usually find a level of co-habitation that suits both.

Just so so pleased for you & Ripley to think you could have missed out on the fun & Ripley the companionship....just luv the videos.....xxxx
