I let new guy Buddha out to meet his new stepsisters for the first time yesterday. Then he let himself out two more times. He's strong and smart. I couldn't believe he pulled open a swinging door that had a book jammed in at the bottom and later a pocket door.
Fay the big girl stalked him. When he cornered himself once out in the pool enclosure he laid down but when she moved in he threw some paws, nothing connected. I stepped between them.
He lays down every time she comes near him.
Mia, half his size, follows him but is terrifed of his size. She was under an Ames Chair ottoman when he hopped on top. She hissed and threw a paw up. He bopped her lightly, almost playfully, on the head.
When Fay chased him behind the couch Mia came to the openning, hissed and he threw another paw at her.
So, I invested in some baby gates and he's in the bedroom now. He stays away from the gates Should I try introducing the others 1 at a time into HIS safe zone?
Is this start a bad start a sign.
I'll probably keep him gated in till next weekend when I have 3 exhausting days to monitor them.
How much should I interfere?
