So yeah, the one female cat at the barn where I work had kittens last winter. Both were female, and both stuck around, and none of them ever get fixed. So this spring both had kittens and my husband and I decided that it would be nice for Nickel to have a playmate. Sometimes he just gets really clingy, and we assume it’s because he is feeling neglected, so a new kitty might help that!
So we brought Copper home when she was eight or nine weeks old. (Though she’s tiny.) Nickel’s first reaction was to hiss and growl at her whenever he smelled or saw her. Luckily he’s too much of a coward to actually attack her. And with some supervised play time they have gotten used to each other and now chase each other around, playing.
So this is Copper and this is Nickel’s reaction.
