Old Cat Meets New Kitten

we have 4 cats in our household and even now a puppy too.. each of our cats were introduced at seperate times as we got them, and its rough for a while, but they do get used to each other with time. just keep an eye on them and make sure they dont hurt each other physically.. if the kitten gets too rambunctious give your other kitty a break by you playing with the kitten or what not.. ive also found that it helps when the cat who was there first, has a safe haven in the home from the new cat. anyways what your experiencing with the cats is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. just give them some time and all will be well :) no need to get rid of the kitten :)

You need to keep them separated for quite awhile. One locked up in a bathroom, the kitty. They need to get to know eachother slowly, as they are territorial. If they are together, they can fight and get hurt. Brush one cat alone. Then the other, so they can smell eachothers fur. I have a 9 year old, and brought a 6 month into the house. The both are fixed and different genders. That is what I did, and all is fine. Good luck honey. Call the vet for more advise if you need it.

Cats are very teritorial. They will work it out in their own time. Dont push the situation or interfere. Give them about a week, by then they should be a bit civil.

I have 20 odd cats, most came in at different times. I lock them up in my bedroom (as compared to other rooms) because its one we keep closed off. then the old cats can smell the new cats under the door &, honestly, some come in. the new cats leave the room when they are ready - most take a week or so, some left in a few days, I've got a couple that have been here for over 4 months that still spend a good bit of time in the room but have been coming out for a month now.
