Thread: How to integrate a second kitten

Freyja’s hiding away must be very unsettling for you.
A cat whose territory is being invaded can feel upset and threatened. But the newbie is far too busy checking out her new home to be bothered by any hostile behaviour. They often act as if they don’t even notice the other one’s hissing and growling!
I get the impression that Freyja, for all her playfulness and sweet antics, is in fact a far more timid kitty than she seems to be. You said yourself she wasn’t all that affectionate at first. Possibly Freyja is the insecure one whilst Wicca is the confident one – different personalities, just like people.
But if Wicca really is the outgoing and affectionate type, she’ll be looking for a playmate soon. And then she could very well start making advances toward Freyja and try to win her confidence.
I think you’re doing well by giving Freyja lots of attention in the meantime. Also some extra-special food, treats, or a new toy might help her feel better.
Hang on in there and keep us posted!
