So I'm attempting to bond Charlie (6) and Bobby (8/9). Charlie is pretty much perfectly healthy, Bobby has spinal arthritis, blocked test ducts and ears that accumulate wax.
I've split Charlie's kitchen in half with a mesh divide, disinfected the whole kitchen
Charlie has one half, Bobby has the other. Bobby only came home on Friday so 3 days ago.
Initially completely ignored eachother, will now sniff nose to nose through the mesh. No aggression but Charlie does stamp his feet, do a little run, stiff and stamp his feet again. The he gets bored and they go back to ignoring eachother.
First time meeting on neutral territory today, Bobby basically barely moved, Charlie mounted him.immediattly and kept.going back to mount his head. I stopped she head mounting each time each he got a nip on his genitals.
Aside from the Charlie did try nuzzling his head into him and they were both happy for me to give them ear rubs (well Charlie was happy, Bobby was fairly frozen)
I assume the mounting is fine, just dominance. And the nuzzling I'm taking as a sign of affection?
Any tips? What body language am I looking out for and how often should I be putting them together?
