Hey everyone, so yesterday me and my dad made a pretty spur of the moment decision to get a new kitten. We already have a 4 year old neutered bengal who come to live with me and the kids when my dad moved in after my mum passed away.

We all just felt a new addition would be the little uplift we were all needing and she really is perfect, oh her name is Pixie and she's also a bengal. Anyway I digress, admittedly we probably or haven't went around the introducing both cats slowly or in the best way and I feel like a dick now so don't come at me, but we only have a little flat anyway.

Tbh my cat is curious but unsure and hissing a little which I read is normal. Its this little madam she's hissing, ears back and making crazy drill like noises that you wouldn't believe possible from something so small lol. I've got them seperate feeding trays, water fountain, litter tray and toys. Will they eventually get used to each other? I was crying last night as felt so bad for our cat as I don't want him feeling neglected or unwanted. We never expected them to instantly be besties, im not sure what i was expecting lol.

Has anyone got any advice on how I can try make this as smooth as possible or any tips on how you went about bringing a new kitten into the home with another cat or even dog already there? Thanks so much in advance, sorry I prob wrote way more than I needed to.
