    10 month old wanting mums milk… (they don’t)

    I don't think you need to. She is setting limits with teen kittens. Saying "I decide when we interact" As long as no one seems scared most of the time and you have no cat fights let them be. They are working out grown up communication.

    Cat intro. Need encourgament and how to interpret body language

    The different energy/personalities is a big issue. I'm not sure how you deal with that since you can't change their personality. Rc might be better off with a calmer companion. Maybe a few years older and a little lazy.
