Hi, I got a kitten (named Pedro) this week-end and I need a little
advice. This week-end's story: Maya has his own room with his
enclosure in it. Well by mistake, when we bought Pedro home, not long
after we arrived he went near Maya's enclosure (Pedro didn't see the
Iguana). Well Maya litteraly freaked out! He went crazy in his
enclosure when he saw the cat. After I picked him up, went in the
bathroom for a soak to calm down (because I know he feels safe in the
bathroom)and talk to him to reasure him. Maya even peeled his nose a
little (minor injury). Anyway for the rest of the week-end I put him
on his basking shelf in the living room and he's just looking at the
cat. Saturday he was stiff like a board and didn't move much. He
didn't eat alot either (I forced him by putting greens in his mouth).
Sunday was better..he was less stiff and was moving around in his
enclosure. And at a time he was pretty close to the cat and didn't
freak out, he just doesn't move and is in weird positions (I know
that's normal). When the cat is in his room near the enclosure, he
doesn't freak out, he just looks at him. By the way, the door of
Maya's room is closed during the night and when we are not home for
now. I would just like to have some advice on how to proceed by
someone who had the experience. The cat didn't see Maya yet. Or he
doesn't care really. Maya even interested sometimes or enjoying the
entertainement by looking at the cat play from his basking sheld in
the living room. Maya will eventually be relaxed and start eating
right?

Thanks Helene
