Hey! I didn't realize you were tryingto bond your bun with your kitties, or I would haveresponded! Sorry 'bout that!
To tell my story thus far...
We have two 2yr old kitties (brother and sister from the same litter), and our Maisie bun is four months old.
We brought Maisie home just over two months ago. The kittieswere fascinated with her at first, but have gradually become used toher. At first, they were extremely interested and would getreally offended when she would come right up to sniff noses withthem. As time has gone by, we've noticed them actuallysleeping while she was out (and when they knew she was out, no less),instead of watching while hiding behind things.
Here are the things we did that made things easier for everyone:
- We got both kitties Soft Claws (feel free to ask anything about themif you like) so we wouldn't have to worry if they decided to swipe ather, or paw at her in curiousity.
- We made sure to give all three loads of attention and love so no one would feel left out.
- When we let Maisie out, the cats are always around, so they all getused to each other. Also, when she's out, we don't restrictthe cats' desires to go up to her, sniff her cage, etc. so they don'tfeel the need to do it when we're not around.
- We give the kitties treats after Maisie's visits if there weren't anypaw swipes. This encourages the good behaviour.
The only trouble we have anymore is with Sunny (our female kitty) beingjealous in general of Maisie, but it's slowly going away.Hobbes (our male) is happy to see her, and is even starting to playwith her a bit when she's out! It's been a pretty slow (andsometimes really frustrating) process, but it's coming along, and hasmade some great progress since getting the kitties the SoftClaws. (I admit, we should have done that from the get-go,but there aren't a lot of people that have both kitties and bunnies, sowe didn't have a whole lot to go on as far as advice.) Wefind both kitties having the desire to stick their paws in her cage,which we allow (unless they're doing it while she's drinking, eating,etc.) because if you try to staunch the curiousity, it won't satiate,and will just build. Not to mention they start resenting youif you don't let them do what they need to understand your bun.
I've had many, many cats over the years, so maybe I can help as far asyour kitties' personalities as well! So, what are yourkitties' ages, genders, fixed status, and personalities?
Also, what's your bun like (as far as the same factors)?
I hope all this helps! I should be able to help even morewhen I know those things about your kitties and bunny.
P.S. Feel free to check out my posts thus far about them.
