New kitten has moved in?
Good evening dear Gutefragen Community
Since Friday (01.03.24) my kitten (female maincon mix) has moved in with me.
My question is divided into 2 directions
First, there's the kitten (Korra). Even though I'm in the same room as her and Johnny (the 4-year-old male cat), I'm lying on the cat wall and doing nothing, she sometimes meows very loudly, usually in a very strange tone. She has everything she needs; she sometimes even meows while eating or drinking.
Why is this happening and how long does it last?
She is very trusting and cuddles up to me to sleep
The second question concerns Johnny (4 years old)
Since the little one moved in, he has been watching her very often and follows her from time to time. They also sniff each other occasionally, which is fine, but since Friday he has been very jumpy. If I get up too quickly, he jumps up and runs off (sometimes not always), even though nothing has happened. How long does this last?
I thank you in advance to everyone who gives me advice or general answers.
Ps the male (Johnny) neutered since 27.01.24
Hello and good evening,
The kitten is sad, lonely, misses his family and can’t start with your cat. It feels alone and insecure in the new environment, misses his mother and throw siblings, doesn’t know in your apartment that way and needs support, security, attention and compassion.
Everything looks different, everything smells different, a “dangerous” much to old cat that smells completely different than the cat’s mother.
In Johnny’s precinct, a strange animal has been set that smells differently, is perceived as a potential competitor and, since the artelossin is far too young, he can’t start with it. In addition, he pushes the kitten too much, looks more like he wants it to be gone than he welcomes it.
In addition, he now has to share the resource “loving man” with a strange cat, which is also completely deterrently calling for her mother.
Apparently both animals have not been carefully or sensitively socialized. Too bad.
In addition, the small cat baby must not even sleep in bed and enjoy closeness and warmth. It’s a baby who needs body contact and security!
Everything but a successful start in a new home where it needs to live 15-20 years.
Maybe you can put the kitten in a family where an equal kitten lives?

I sleep until yesterday evening since she’s on the couch she comes to sleep too and cuddles herself. weekend I always got free so I only picked her on Friday so she’s not alone for the first time.
If she’s with me, she’ll whistle.
She is very lively and also plays fetch zb also balls.
Now just zb she lies next to me on my poor and sleeps while johnny sleeps on the cat’s creek wall/tree.
I’m trying to treat both of them as I don’t want to give anyone the feeling that he means less to me.
I glee that she calls for her mother or hears the cats of my nightable (under me)
The cats differ from the age and temperament as well as from the sex and do not fit together. You have two single animals there.
And please don’t get me wrong I’m not greedy in the opposite my cats just get the best food that the animal recommended
It really doesn’t matter at the moment. I understand that you’re putting value on it and that’s good. But the kitten doesn’t care.
The two have been very good for over a week now
He brushes them, she brushes him.
They play together and cuddle back and forth to sleep.
The mow has completely stopped also the horrible is completely gone in the opposite it is partly vol the digging.
They eat together and drink together.
I can’t pack any videos in the comments here, otherwise I would like to show you.
Thank you so much for your answer

And a quiet Sunday afternoon
