    This whole process was extremely stressful for your kitten. You should have waited to get her acclimated to her new home. Gave her some time alone to destress before introducing her to your dog.

      this is so true. I found a Russian blue kitten outside my house one day in the bushes. She's a little over 1 year old now but very loving, cuddly, a little shy and veryyyy sweet. She sleeps between my legs every night and follows me into the bathroom or whatever room I go into. They have such a sweet personality and the most beautiful green eyes and a soft, silver coat. She doesn't like loud noises and get scared easily which is okay, def not an outdoor cat though.

    I just adopted an older Russian Blue kitten. I think she's nearing a year old. Sadly, it's day 3 and she is still hiding under my bed still and creeps out when she thinks I'm not looking to eat/drink/use litterbox. The poor thing was abandoned by her original owners and the neighbors took turns feeding her. She's very traumatized and withdrawn. She did reciprocate affection a couple of times. But then she'll decide that she's had enough and go back into hiding. I long for the day I get a nose boop to welcome me home. But I feel I'm months away from that. Hopefully I earn her complete trust because she's here to stay!

      @@alexathome She has blossomed into a loving master for this hoomin slave. Now that she's discovered the window by my bed, that's where she perches. She has now decided she wants to eat 2 cans of wet food daily and is very lovey dovey until, almost perfectly timed, she will glance in the direction of her food bowl. Lol. She loves chin scritches and lays fully stretched out on her side with just the tips of her paws touching me. She likes to snart me awake and stare at me indignantly as if I caused her to sneeze and fart at the same time. There's never a dull moment with her and my apartment is filled with laughter!

    A piss poor way to introduce your 2 pets in your home? Next time, try and put the kitten in a single room for a day. The following day, let your dog in that room (w/o) the cat... to become familiar with the cat's scent? Then gradually introduce them... way less stressful on the 2 animals! Cheers

      Hi Harley. Sorry to hear your experience. We adopted the baby girl from my local Petsmart, which had the pets adoption events. I did have a carrier with me. But she was so lovable and wanted to be with me in the car and kept crying. that was why I took her out and put her in my arms. There is only 5 mins from petsmart to my house. That was why I was kinda feeling ok to let her out in the car. I hope you will adopt a cute kitten soon!! ;)
