Hi. We have had a cat for about a year now (6 years of age) always been alone. Today we brought home 2 new kittens 2months old, and he has been hissing for hours, he isn’t eating nor drinking water and even hisses at us. He is now refusing to sleep on the bed as he has been doing the past year. I am hopeful that things will work out but I can’t bare to see my cat this sad. What can I do? Thank you! Mari.
