Hi, woofman, and all,
I appreciate your input and realise that perhaps you have more experience at this than i and many things you have said make perfect sense, however I have no issue with the reputation of the breeder.
My original question was looking for advice on how to assist the integration of the kitten into the home, I'm prepared that I could have a bit of an up and down journey to get her to feel like one of the family. However to update, I got the dog crate, I put her in it, with litter tray, soft bedding , food bowls etc, and put the crate in the kitchen, My Bengal cat has had a look and a sniff and a wee hissy fit but nothing dramatic, the new kitten seems a little more relaxed now that she can see whats going on round about her, she's calling out plenty. I feel a little more less anxious now than i did this time yesterday, however as Lankeela has suggested when i get home from work this evening I'm going to leave the cage door open and see if she's confident enough to come out and have a sniff around, I'll keep the Bengal out of the room while this happens. I've decided that Sunday will be the day when i let them both 'meet' and we'll take it from there...
