I have a 2 year old female, Lilly and I've had her for about a couple of months. My sister also decided to get a cat and she ended up getting a 6 week old kitten. My sister lives in her own apartment and she doesn't live with me. But we decided to introduce them and noticed some territorial behaviors such as hissing when we introduced Celeste (the kitten) to Lilly. Now that my sister has gone home with her kitten she has been acting strange and she wouldn't cuddle like she did before. I'm quite sure she is angry with me that she thinks I might replace her with a kitten which is not the case. Should I maybe give it a few days and see if she returns to normal or what else should I do?

Sorry we all missed your post. I would give it a few days. Don't try to force yourself on her. She will come around. Try throwing her a few treats now and then but don't go over or look at her.
She will remember the cuddling and come back. She is probably just giving you the treatment. Crash does that to me if I go away for to long.

I'm sorry too, for missing your post. Is everything okay now?

My cat Lucy would give me the treatment if there was so much of a hint at another animal coming around. Or even if he smelled one on me. He had such a severe dislike for other cats, that we were unable to get another, ever, while we had him. The few times we did bring another animal home, he would snub us for days afterwards. Until all traces of that animal were gone and he was certain that it wouldn't be coming back. But that was an extreme case, with very clear reasons for his feelings. Probably, once the smells are gone, your kitty will come back around, I would not try to reintroduce them any time soon. Or if you do, be in a place where your cat will not be too territorial.

The PH boards were a little glitchy at the beginning of the week and I missed this post too.

The others have given you good advice about just trying to wait it out and using Rescue Remedy or Feliway if she dosen't calm soon.
