Close this if it isn't appropriate.
So I recently got a new kitten. Well not kitten but I would say "teenager" since she's fairly small. She use to be a street cat that I seen neglected on the streets(getting kick at etc) so I adopted her. Took her to the vet and everything and she's very sweet. She loves to get pet and tries to sit on my lap to sleep. I had her for about 2-3 weeks now hidden in my room. I separated her from my current cat of 2 years. I adopted him also so he has 0 feline skillls. I started to do the slow introduction process of keeping them seperate and swapping scents. I would put my current cat in the seperate room and swapping the girl out. I finally brought them close together and of course the first introduction isn't always a piece of cake. I seperate them again and tried the process 2 days later, the girl cat just hissed and growls at him while he just arches his back and runs. I was at terrified that he was going to pounce on her cause he's much bigger but it seems like he's getting bullied. It's to the point that he's always in "caution mode", eyes dilated, and he's flinching at every little sound.
I know the process can be slow so I was just wondering if anyone here has tips? I already did a little research but nothing that would seem the match up for them.
