Hello
My mum and dad are mid moving house and have asked me to look after their cat - Puss (male)! The house they are moving to isn't ready yet so they are having to stay with friends/relatives in the interim and mum is really concerned not to upset Puss any more than necessary as he is quite old now, 14 years. He has never lived anywhere else and only knows me, mum and dad. As such, I have taken him on a temporary basis until they move into their new house and come to take him back, saves potentially constantly moving him. Should only be a couple of weeks.
I already have a cat, Stanley, and both Stanley and Puss are very friendly loving cats individually. I introduced them earlier, a supervised introduction. Puss wasn't fussed and seemed disinterested. Stanley on the otherhand was very intrigued and went over to greet Puss but did "growl" a couple of times. He never hissed and his hairs didn't stand on end. I separated them after Stanley "growled" for a 3rd time.
What should I do next? I don't want to upset Puss as he has had so much upheaval already but equally I don't want to upset Stanley as this is his house. Has anyone got any advice, should I just let them get on with it or try and keep them apart?
