Early on last year months before we got Blue a stray kitten turned up on our front step, she was so tiny, underweight & being picked on by all the other cats in the neighbourhood, i could hear her crys of a night time as the male cats mated with her & i was heartbroken she just hid under my car & was to scared to come out because of the big cats, i tried coaxing her out with treats & food & i was devastated that this little black kitten was struggling outside alone, i finally won her trust & brought her into my house, frontlined her & fed her up but every time she saw my dogs she totally freaked out & went crazy hissing and scratching everything in sight like a possessed animal :( anyway to cut a long story short i convinced my elderly next door neighbours to take her in as they had lost their cat cuddles aged 23 a few years earlier, their great-grandaughter named her cuds & she turned out to be the sweetest cat you could ever meet, they took her to the vets as she had a lump on her tummy, it turned out to be a hernia but the kitten was pregnant proberbly caught by the toms on her first season :( they agreed with the vet she was to young to cope with kittens & aborted the pregnancy & had her spayed & chipped....last summer every day she would come & lie in my hallway & sunbathe (im sure that she knows i saved her), she gets on great with Fifa & does not mind the dogs at all now she is used to them but only lets me & my neighbours hold her & stroke her she is so timid & terrified of strangers & not at all confident...so this week my neighbours have gone on holiday & left me the keys & on pet duties, i thought it would make more sense just for cuds to stay at our house so shes not alone but Blue has different ideas...he hates her, hes hissing, showing all his teeth & making it quite clear she is not welcome in our house, he is being so nasty its untrue, i have never ever seen him like this !!! So poor cuds is in next door all alone of a night & i know my neighbours usually allow her in their bed :( i feel so mean but this is Blues house & i dont want to rock the boat, is there any point going through a slow introduction when my neighbours will be home next week ??, its just so sad to think of cuds home alone :( also i was planning on getting another sphynx to join our family maybe next year, how am i going to do that when my beautiful Blue is being such a spoilt brat ?? .....

It takes a couple weeks for them to get acclimated to each other. I would just leave them separate if it is only a temporary thing.

When you get your permanent kitten, it will be easier to do a slow introduction and have them get used to each other :)

Blue such naughty little man. I think she should be fine, but you can always bring her over to your house and keep the kids separated. The furries here still don't really care for Pip, but I think Blue just doesn't want to share his attention. Blue should go back to normal once everything is back to the way it usually is, him being the center of attention. Blue should be fine once you have get his new permanent baby sister or brother. Good luck, and give him and Fifa some extra treats!

I don't think he is being naughty, or a brat. Cats are territorial and don't usually hit it off with each other at first the way dogs do.

His behavior totally makes sense! Like you said, I'm sure he would be fine after a slow introduction. Maybe it's worth doing if you will be pet sitting again or if you want her to be able to come into your house :)

Good for you that you made such an effort with this baby! Most people wouldn't bother, so you and your neighbors are heroes for this little girl. But I do agree with the others--Blue is acting like most cats will when confronted with another adult cat. You might be surprised to see that the little girl probably sleeps all night while she's alone there. Cats aren't as people-dependant as dogs, so like @Hairless Blessing says, she is probably fine staying there alone with you visiting.

When we brought Hattie home she was here for about a month until her bio sister came home. When we introduced them again they were like strangers for a few days despite being litter mates and being separated for just one month. Now they are best friends and closer than ever.

Well Blues still sulking, we fed cuds in our hallway today so she wasnt alone & kept blue in the living room, he was all over me when i went in to sit with him anybody would think it was him who had been left home alone, im going to let cuds wander in & out of my house as she pleases during the day & take her into next door of a night time, hopefully blue will get used to her scent on me & may be a little more accepting next time he sees her....when we brought Blue home as a baby Fifa was fine, no problems or nastiness i guess i was just lucky because fifa is a really good boy & the dogs just accept anybody i just kind of expected blue to follow in their pawprints xxx
