After my little kitty, Kelsey, died I wanted to give her brother, Bailey, a companion. I brought home Gracie and she kept going up to Bailey, he would hiss, she would retreat, then start all over again. this kept going on all day then that night she was curled up next to him and both were sleeping soundly. Bailey tolerated her for some time but now they are as close as ever. Bailey is 17 and when he dies, I don’t know what I’ll do cuz Gracie is the meanest ketteh I know! Now, introducing my puppies to my kitties was an experience I NEVER want to go through ever again!
That’s what happened with Mr. Boots and Scout. There was a heated confrontation, then they were inseparable.
