About a week and a half ago a co-worker of my boyfriend found a kitten roaming the middle of the street and took it in, she brought it to the vet and had all its shots, checked ect, she then brought it to work with her to find it a home, knowning we were looking for a kitten as well, so we took Sabbath in. He was very playful and nosey, you know typical kitten stuffs. We had intended to get another kitten from a rescue shelter and she was in the process of being fixed before released to us so we had Sabbath a week before Jinx came home. We tried to seperate her but she seems to have issues being away from me, constantly meowing when Im out of sight and honestly I just dont want to sit in the room 24/7. Sabbath doesnt seem to impressed with Jinx, and tho it is only the third day, Im like a nervous mom. the first two days he would watch her, hissing and growling if she came near but never has attacked, today he just seems depressed, all he will do is sleep on my boyfriends lap, I havent seem him use the litter box or take a drink, I got him to eat a little soft food just to make sure he was eating. Please, will he be ok eventually, I dont want to have to give either up as I am totally in love with both but I would hate to see him like this forever. Thanks for any advice on this, I am feeling so bad for him.

He will be fine. It will take a couple of weeks to a month for him to accept this new kitty pal. It took my Tucker about a month before he would play with Gabby. Now they are the best of friends. Just give it some time. He is so young that he will adapt quickly to having a playmate.
