I have a 2 year old spayed Norwegian forest male. He's very cuddly and playful and since I work a lot, I thought of bringing him a friend. I chose a mellow playful 4 month old Maine Coon mix. Brought her in yesterday and put her in a separate room.
He spend some time staring at the door, then went around his business. I showed him the kitty and he hissed and ran away. Now he doesn't want to cuddle and hisses at me cause I smell like the new kitty. The little girl cries for attention in her room and I feel sorry for her, but I know I should be spending time with my boy so he doesn't feel abandoned. But the hissing freaks me out and he doesn't purr when I hold him and wants to get away from me.
What do you think I should do next? I want them to get along well and be each others company...
The male is not trying to scratch me or anything, he just hisses and growls and is generally pissed
