But, my cat (Tiger) is scared of everything and everyone new. I have friends round? He hides under my bed until a few hours after they leave.
Now, we recently got us (and him and his sister) a kitten. The kitten is (obviously) not allowed to roam the whole house, but rather has his own room.
Tiger, for the first few days would avoid the kitten room like the plague.
Then, he would stare at it through a gate from the other side of the hall
Now, he sits next to the kitten and lets him have some of his dinner (which kitten is NOT allowed and I have to spoil their fun)
But, in a few weeks we went from Tiger fleeing at the mere room the kitten was in to the pair of them being comfortable.
Now, Tiger is still terrified of guests. But, he’s not scared of the kitten. We gradually introduced the pair and now he has a new friend because he worked up the courage to say hello.
