I'm feeling really guilty but I really need help. I had cats for many years but made many mistakes with this introduction. I had a oldercat for 18 years and got a Holy Birma named Minna when she was 4 years old. She is from a cattery and had kittens there 4 times. She is very clingy and always...
Hello all!
My partner and I recently adopted a female kitten a month or two ago (she's just about 8 months now, and spayed), and while she and our older male cat Jinx (who is about 8 or 9 years old, and is neutered) have been doing well acclimating to one another and we've been introducing them...
Hi all! Lots of helpful forums already about this topic but I wanted to seek some more advice!
I have had my resident cat, Odin since he was a baby and he’s now nearly 2 and he’s neutered.
he used to be an outside boy and would always befriend cats in the street and try to play, now he’s been...
I brought him home 10 days ago now, he's a 10-month flamepoint siamese mix and his previous owner rehomed him to me because he's on a wet food only diet she could not afford anymore, and he was apparently too energetic and annoying for her older, mellow cat. Needless to say, I think he's...
Hello guys, we recently got a newkitten as a buddy for our fixed 2 year old boy. They get along quite well, despite our worries that Sammy, our oldercat, might be jealous as he's super affectionate with us and maybe wouldn't want to share. Milo is 14 weeks old, affectionate and playful. We...
Hi guys
Myself and my partner have had our cat Prince for about 3 and a half years. We got him from a shelter, he was already about two years old and had been re-homed due to his former owners getting a newcat that attacked him. He's settled in extremely well with us, he's so loving and has...
My fiance and I have just adopted a newkitten who is 5mo and is a playful and energetic kitten. We have a 5yo Siberian cat named Percy who has always been extremely social and playful as well. Percy, lately, has been playing VERY rough with the kitten. The kitten will even whine and cry out...
So our oldercat is nearly 7, and a very sweet cat. We recently decided to adopt a 6 month old kitten to add to the family, there's obky 2 adults in the house. We've had the kitten in the bathroom for nearly a week and have started the process of showing her to our big cat in a controlled...
Good morning!! You guys were really helpful when my cat was a kitten, I'm hoping you might have some insight into our newkitten!!
We brought a almost 4 month old home on Saturday. He is very, very friendly and loves people. He has been living in the downstairs bathroom and spare bedroom, he...
We’ve always had a multi cat household. G (now 12 yrs) was rescued at 6 weeks with her litter mate and they joined my adult cat. Her litter mate died 3 years ago and we were heartbroken to lose our other cat 3 weeks ago. G was our only surviving cat. She is gentle and one of the sweetest cats...
Hello! I am looking for opinions and advice on my oldercat, 5 years old, and my newkitten I got a little over a month ago (he just turned 8 months old). Both are fixed and both have been around other cats before. My oldercat I took her from my best friend and her husband as they were moving...
Hello. We have a 2 year old female bengal cat who is very needy and a scaredy-cat. She was obsessed with our 11 year old male cat, who passed away few months ago. She became depressed after his passing, so we decided that she needed another cat to cuddle and play with. We adopted a 4 month old...
Hi - I am in the very early days of introducing a newkitten (8 months old) to my household. For the last 3 years, I have had an older rescue cat, who I love. She was 9 when I adopted her, so she's almost 12 now. However, she has always been... difficult. She will often bite or scratch very...
I have a 3 year old maine coon siberian mix male cat and he has always been the biggest baby, showed constant affection and love towards us but now that we have a new 3 month old kitten, he isn't as affectionate to us anymore. He does like the kitten, he plays with her and chases her, he doesn't...

At the beginning of December, we purchased a 2 month old kitten for the household. He was a birthday gift, but also somewhat of an opportunity for companionship for our 8 year old female who has lived alone her whole life. We read up on how to introduce a kitten to an oldercat, and carried out...
Hello, I am really looking for some hope more than advice here... but I'll gladly take the advice. I am quite experienced with cats but this one is tough.
So, I have a calico cat, Ori, 3 years old. She is my boyfriend's cat. She was always an only cat.
I am trying to introduce a newkitten...
I have read some posts here about this situation. I have a 9 year old female and two years ago I adopted a kitten who grew into a large cat who wanted to play and dominate her. She managed to get along with him as long as we distracted him with play toys but I just adopted a newkitten with...
Hello everyone!
I know this is common and there are MANY with this problem, but I think each one is different so I wanted to share my issue.
We had a female cat, and, worried that she'd feel lonely, we brought home a kitten for her. It was hard at first, the oldercat didn't like the new one...
Hi everyone,
The other cat intro thread was so helpful I thought I'd reach out. I wrote a little bit about the situation here: Older and younger cat but it's not necessary to read that to get this.
The cats:
- BC: 6 year old female tabby (fixed), with the exception of her first year in a...
