how long should one wait before allowing kitty out of his room to explore the rest of the house?
my kitten is about 10 weeks old, he just came home today, and he already playing and looking bored with his room...
he has toys laying around... any more and i wont be able to walk in there without hurting my feet......
he is still a little shy, but if i sit on the floor for about 5 min, he creeps out and begins purring and playing and being affectionate....
i know each cat is different, but what is the avg. wait time?
i also have 2 resident cats that need to be introduced...
they both have wonderful temperments, they have never fought or shown signs of agression
infact, the female has already had an interaction wiht the kitten today...
she darted into his room when i opened the door... he was hiding under the futon and she made a bee line for him...
i was scared to death, but nothing happened... she just stood there sniffing him, and he just stood there (probably scared)
i tried to tug her out of there, but i couldnt really reach her....
i guess she sensed that i wanted her out from under there because she left a few seconds later on her own free will.....
given the loving nature of the resident cats i think the introduction will go off without a hitch...
im just wondering when is a good time?
thanks for the help
(and be on standby for many many more quesitons... this is my 1st time raising a kitten, my other 2 kitties were shelter rescues)
