Hi everyone!
I have a drama queen bengal (female, spayed) cat who is 1.5 yrs. I adopted her when she was just shy of a year old but she's been very affectionate! Unfortunately, I work all day and it seemed she was getting very antsy and lonely. We recently adopted a kitten (also female, spayed, 3 months, non bengal) and we've been slowly introducing them for around a month, starting with scent swapping, and moving to feeding on opposite sides of the baby gate.
They seemed to be doing great! They were eating and playing pawsies through the gate with no hissing or growling. We then decided to do a slow meet without the baby gates and everything went aggressive really fast. Our bengal immediately went on stalking mode and she ran and started attacking the kitten. Sometime when we hold the kitten, she also tries to jump attack onto us and the kitten.
I'm not sure what this means and how to keep going....it seemed fine with the gates, but once the gates came down, it seemed to get hostile really fast. Anyone experienced this before? Any advice would be great! We would love for them to get along.
