    8 year old cat and 6 month kitten intro

    So the kitten has been here for 3 months, which was all slow introduction and has got us up to them eating together with relative calm. Do you think that’s a positve sign? It’s been a week now of them having more access. The avoidance is difficult to do much about as Luna just seems very scared...

    8 year old cat and 6 month kitten intro

    It doesn’t seem like real fighting, I mean the noise from my older cat is awful but she’s very dramatic. She hisses and growls and does a kind of scream meow if kitten comes near her. Generally the little one just follows her and doesn’t even get that close to her. the charges are mostly if Luna...

    8 year old cat and 6 month kitten intro

    Hi @ArtNJ I’m seeing a lot of ‘charge swatting’ from my older cat and my little one is constantly trying to follow her around and (I think) trying to play. Luna just wants to be left alone. It seems to be a step forward a step back every day, sometimes I think Luna’s making progress and other...

    8 year old cat and 6 month kitten intro

    Thanks so much, that makes sense. I think I’m just a bit anxious because my older cat is soo vocal and loud toward the kitten, it sounds aggressive but her body language doesn’t seem that way at all unless she gets close to her. she’s always very vocal so I guess in stressful situations like a...

    8 year old cat and 6 month kitten intro

    Hi me again! @ArtNJ and @kissthisangel just a quick question. At what point do you think I’d be safe to leave the cats alone in the house together while we’re at work? They’ve been doing ok with full access, Luna hisses/growls or screeches at Kallie when she comes too near and mostly Kallie...

    Thank you for the advice folks, I’ve moved to full access initially whilst I’m in the house so that I’m aware of what’s happening just in case of any full blown fights. I started today and Luna my older girl was of course very grumpy but as you guys said it’s all been either growling/...

    8 year old cat and 6 month kitten intro

    Thank you ARTnj that’s so helpful, I’m also very amused by the image of a little old lady with an umbrella 😂 Agh I’m annoyed I didn’t know that about the age difference and chances of friendship, it makes sense though. We really wanted a kitten I guess but I don’t think I would’ve jumped in so...

    8 year old cat and 6 month kitten intro

    Hi! Looking for some reassurance and that I’m on the right lines with my cat introduction process as I’m starting to worry that I’m doing something wrong, my resident cat just seems so unhappy. I’ll explain the background with my resident cat Luna first as I think this might have some bearing...
