No, really! I need some help!
We have a beautiful little house bun called Pudding. He's nearly two and neutered. He is utterly wonderful and we adore him, there's an immense bond there with hubby and I. However, our first baby arrived nearly four weeks ago and frankly, Pudding doesn't seem keen!
We've tried to introduce them, Pudding has huffed and lunged a bit. He constantly tries to eat the Moses basket and won't stop when asked like he normally would. He sulks if we're paying attention to the baby - foot flicking, pointedly turning his back on us etc. And now he's started to do loads of poops on the sofa and has weed on it three times. Totally unlike him.
He seems totally healthy (though I'll get that checked at his next nail clip) and we've both been making sure we take time to fuss over him as we normally would. He free ranges all day as normal. Hubby did mention that Pudding was upset when I went into labour - he couldn't get to me and obviously I sounded a bit distressed. We're so close that he guard me when I nap and thumps if I cry, so it must have been worrying for him.
Has anyone been through this? It is exactly like having a jealous toddler and I just want to make him feel better. Help!
