I completely understand it being emotionally difficult, sometimes it still is when I see my two roughousing 😅 But they are both young and that goes in your favour, give them some more time 😊
I very recently went through something similar to this myself. It sounds like they just need more time. My older kitten was exactly the same when I started face-to-face introductions, just desperately wanting to play with the new kitten and he would completely fixate on her when they were in the...
Of course, I'm not getting rid of the third one haha. I have moved two close together so we shall see what happens 😂

Hello, just wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on this for me. I have two cats, and three litterboxes that I have spaced throughout the house. One of them is quite small, but it's a good size for my youngest kitten. She has used it since she arrived home, no issues. Since they...

Oh wow, I hadn't actually considered that perspective- separating them making his obsession worse. I think that is probably the next thing to do, leave them together for longer and see what happens after they tire each other out.
That does make sense, making the obsession worse and the...
Thank you for the reassurance! I can definitely see how rough they can get, sometimes I get nervous watching 😅 That is one thing I've been trying to do and haven't successfully yet. I can distract the younger kitten with a toy, but my older kitten isn't interested in any toys or treats I offer...
Long post to give some context, so bare with me! I have a 9 month old, 5.3kg desexed male kitten called Atlas. He's very friendly and outgoing, very playful. About 5 days ago I rescued a 10 week old kitten Feyre and am hopeful they will be close companions.
