I'm sorry to hear that Nala is having a hard time with the introduction of a new kitten. It certainly sounds like she is experiencing some anxiety as a result of having a new kitten added to her household. Since it sounds like you have done a good job of introducing Simba gradually and Nala is still not tolerating him, you might need to find some ways to decrease her stress. One option for decreasing stress is to add a Feliway Diffuser ( https://www.feliway.com ) to your house. This is a calming pheromone that will work for a month and may be beneficial for both cats. I have also had luck with Rescue Remedy ( http://www.bachflower.com/rescue-remedy-pet/ ) which can be added to the water. You could also consider calming music specifically for cats ( http://throughadogsear.com/tace/through-a-cats-ear-1-music-for-calming/ ). If Nala continues to hide in your bedroom, it may be time to take her to your veterinarian for a physical exam and discussion about possible anti-anxiety medica

Nala is a lovely girl! Her cheek could be swollen due to a dental problem such as a tooth root abscess, or a broken or rotten tooth, and the discomfort from that could cause her to scratch her chin a lot. She could be vomiting from unchewed pain; she won't be chewing her food properly due to dental pain. This isn't contagious, and Nala should see a vet in the morning for her symptoms. The vet can diagnose what is causing them and how best to treat them. If she does have a dental problem, she would likely benefit from a cleaning, scaling, and polishing.

I actually think that Dusty likes Nala, but Nala does not understand that Dusty wants to be friendly and play. Over time they will understand each other. If Dusty did not like Nala, he would either be running away from her all the time or there would be stand-offs and cat fights and hissing matches in the house.

Poor Nala! It sounds like she really needs to be examined by a veterinarian to get this issue resolved. Nala may have an intestinal parasite so it's important that you bring a fecal sample to the veterinarian to have it checked for parasites. I'm concerned hag Nala may end up getting dehydrated if she does not receive treatment for the diarrhea soon. Your veterinarian may prescribe medications to treat the diarrhea or a prescription bland diet to get Nala feeling better.

Wow! Nala is beautiful and very photogenic! I would suspect that Nala has a natural "part" in her fur there (like humans can have a natural part where their hair falls). It is just in a very obvious location, so it is more noticeable than if she were to have it in another location. I suspect it will remain the same throughout her life, so just enjoy her unique part. Thanks for using Boop by Petco!
