    Kitten Agressive With Senior Cat

    I'm growing quite concerned about my older cat, Angus. He is 13 and he's very reserved. On occasion our kitten, Grizz, has knocked him over and Angus has had to defend himself on his side. But Grizz is also very sweet and cuddly. I think he's dying to get outside, he's like an ping pong ball...

    Senior cat and kitten introduction attempt

    My older cat Skittles is 9 years old and spayed, and she's very mean to say the least. We are not allowed to pick her up and can pet her for short periods on her own terms, and she's the type that will aggressively bite or scratch if she's mildly annoyed. Recently we got a 70 days old kitten...

    Success stories of senior+kitten families?

    Hello! I have 14yr old male cat who's always been a solo cat since I adopted him when he was 3 months old from a shelter. The reason I had never adopted another cat was because I was underage at the time and could not afford nor was I allowed to have more than 1 cat. Now that I'm an adult and...

    Resident Senior Gently Rejecting New Kitten

    15yo cat thrives with a companion but lost his mate in February. He’s aggressive with adult cats but loves kittens. We adopted an orphaned kitten that didn’t make it.

    Keeping my kitten from pestering our senior cat

    My 7 month old kitten was being mean to my senior cat when I had her on my lap today (jumping up and boxing her in the face). I tried that 3 different times and happened every time.  I'm not sure if that was jealousy or if he was unsure how to fit himself on my lap too?  Any thoughts one how I...

    Bobo the kitten maniac vs. Lulu the senior pacifist

    Hi cat people. I've been reading through the boards - and am beginning to feel reassured from other stories that me and my cat family are actually doing better than I give us credit for. But - I'm going to reach out to you experts anyway. Because I'm a crazy overprotective cat lady!  In early...
