What a Hnasome Cat Kenya is!
When I first saw the nmae Kenya I was thinking of an exotic Cat , but Kenya you are such a Precious Persian.
A Big MEEOW to you from the Found Cat Hotel Nine

Thank you smokey the elder and Catmandu.

Tonight started the intro's..Spike is still in sick bay but he saw what went on.
Kewpie hissed, two or three times, Kenya was in the carrier..she walked up to the carrier in slow -mo, sniffed the kitten and the carrier for a few minutes then left..Rocky and Kenya met, nose to nose with no adverse reaction from either..Kewpie then went in my room, where we had a long (45 min) cuddle and she slept..she left again, and then came back and is now sleeping at the bottom of the bed after a little play with her wand.

Time will tell. I got the impression Rocky just wanted him out to play.

Kenya has made himself comfortable:

Thank you!

I thought I would update on the introductions.

Today was meet and greet, in the living room/dining room.

I brought Kenya down from his room in the carrier and placed it on the floor...Kewpie Rocky and of course Spike in his crate observed the carrier..

After no one showed aggression, I let Kenya out of his carrier and he began to explore..as soon as he moved in Kewpie's direction, she hissed twice and left..and watched from the top of the stairs..while Kenny went over every square inch of the area..Rocky just watched, then I got out the laser and they both played side by side, according to Rocky's reaction, it seemed like Kenya was always here, Rocky was relaxed and unconcerned. Kenya went up to the crate Spike is in, they made eye contact and nothing again, (considering spike hisses and growls at me while he's in the crate and cant move away) that is remarkable to me. Neither were concerned with eachother after that.

Tomorrow I increase from one hour, to 1 1/2 hours, I'm told it's ok Kewpie left and that she is just afraid, but with more exposure should lessen and then subside.

Thank you everyone again, for your nice comments and advice, it's really nice to have some support.

Hi sweet Kenya! What an adorable furball!!! Hope all will go well with Kewpie. It's never easy with females, they are very territorial inside their home with new kitties.

^that is his, new noise face..

Thank you, I believe it's all working out.

They spent 6 hours in the same proximity today..no incidences, Kewpie was a little hissy at first, but she stuck it out she didnt leave, just made sure he kept his distance. He and Rocky ignore eachother for the most part, he hissed at Rocky once, but it didnt faze Rocky..

I'm so glad things are coming along so well. Welcome HOME, Kenya!
