Introducing kittens to pet rat
Hi there,
Would you be able to give me tips on introducing two 6week old kittens to my pet rat as friends and playmates. I have done the introduction with a dog successfully but do not know much about cat behaviour. My rat is fearless and owns the home but i am adopting two male kittens and am unsure of how to go about integrating them with minimal stress or injury to my rat. I know it can be done with patience. Any tips?
