Hi all! I adopted a 1 year old Snowshoe (Have always loved them!) female today. She is very sweet and when I opened her carrier up in my bathroom she came out purring...Anyway I left her alone in the bathroom and my bedroom for a couple of hours to stretch her legs and get acquainted. when I returned she was following me around feverishly. I picked her up to pet her and she started to growl and tried to bite. Did I move to fast with her. I have another spayed female DSH dilute torti that I need to introduce. How should I do this. I got her from my local humane society. They tried to schedule to spay her this week but they were full. I am taking her back next week to "Get the job done". I also have a 120 lb. Greater Swiss Mtn. Dog , a 15 month old child, a 7 year old child, and my husband to introduce to her. It seems a little overwhelming. I have a large house. Should I just let her roam and find hiding places to go when she is overwhelmed. Just some background...We lost our 8 year old MaineCoon/Norweigian Forest Cat last week when my 7 year old let him out accidently and he was killed by a stray dog. My daughter witnessed this (Thank god it wasn't her) and she has been obsessed with it. We have talked extensively about it and had a nice memorial service but with her obsession my husband and I felt we needed to focus her on a new kitty. We will never forget MAx and his sweet ways!! Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you.
