Well, after toying with the idea for months, Nick and I finally decided to get Lyra a sibling.
Tonight we picked up Lex, an 8-week old male kitten, adopted from our local Humane Society. We brought him home, in Lyra's old cat carrier.
When we brought him in, we did set him down (in the carrier) so Lyra could see. She took one look and hissed and growled like I have never heard before. Immediately following that, we put Lex in his own room, closed off from Lyra. Nick and I have been taking turns between making sure Lyra is ok and that our new baby Lex, is also ok.
How are we ever going to get our beyond spoiled one-year old Lyra Bean to accept this new, teeny fuzz baby?? Since she really is a "Mommy's girl," after seeing me hold Lex, she hisses and growls at me now
Any advice would be appreciated. If Lyra doesn't adjust, we are afraid we will have to find a new home for Lex
