    HELP Introducing kitten to our senior cat - Need some specific advice!

    Will our two cats ever get along well enough to leave them alone together? Right now we have them out whenever we are home. The older cat will be on the bed, under the bed sleeping, or in a chair in the living room sleeping or sitting. The kitten will try to play with him on the chair (and get a...

    Also at dinner tonight we prepped and fed with both of them out and they briefly touched noses with no badness. I have no idea.

    HELP Introducing kitten to our senior cat - Need some specific advice!

    Hello again. So it’s been some time. Still have our 17yo and now 10(?)wk old. We did separating, feeding together, the whole shebang. They could care less about each other if there are food or treats to be had. So we’ve been trying to simply let them share space. We try to keep her out from...

    HELP Introducing kitten to our senior cat - Need some specific advice!

    Another update: Yesterday seemed good. Our older cat was sitting in what's now "his" chair in the living room while my wife played with the kitten on the floor. He was relaxed and was watching the action patiently. He got a bit growly when she started to play with his tail so we ended the...

    Thank you! Lots of great information here. Just to clarify, our older cat isn't under the bed because he's hiding. It's just his favorite place in the house. Since he's old he just spends most of his time there! Any thoughts on him following the kitten while growling? Getting close and going...

    HELP Introducing kitten to our senior cat - Need some specific advice!

    Thank you! Yes, our older cat is very healthy for his age. No real health problems to speak of; he jumps on the bed, plays with our phone charging cables, has a very healthy appetite. Overall, he seems more wary than stressed. He comes out at his usual times, looking for breakfast and dinner...

    HELP Introducing kitten to our senior cat - Need some specific advice!

    My wife and I have a 17-year-old senior cat (M). He's been on his own for about 5 years now. Previously we had 3 other cats who have since passed away. One of those he absolutely loved (cleaned, cuddled), one he essentially ignored, and one he completely hated (he'd scream and chase at any...
