Thanks I appreciate the advice. I love my cats but it's strange because my older cat seems so unpredictable sometimes, he's definitely scratched and bit my husband and I before which I attribute his behavior from being taken away from his mother and siblings too young before he could learn kitty...

Yes, my in-laws and they usually stay for at least a half hour each day. They might start charging me if I ask them to stay longer lol

thank you for your response, I appreciate your insights. I will keep on my referee duties and hope nothing escalates. We are leaving for a vacation in a few weeks and I'm just hoping they don't fight they whole time we are gone and we have someone checking in on them. I feel like it would be a...

They've been together now for about 6 and 1/2 months. I got our younger, female cat when she was about 4 months old. I did a full slow introduction when she first arrived and while the older cat doesn't seem to want to be her best friend, they've coexisted peacefully for the most part. I'm...

So I've read a lot of the posts about cats fighting and reintroducing cats that have had bad spats, but I wasn't sure how premature it is to fully separate and start reintroduction again. The other night (I think it was a full moon) out of my eyesight I heard my cats fighting. Howling, hissing...

I have a similar situation with my cats, my oldest (8 years old) is SUPER vocal during play and even sometimes when he's trying to get the kitten (8months old) to play. Sounds like a trill and short meows. The only thing that concerns me is when their play escalates. It's difficult to know when...

Well, my male cat was a kitten he was a pill and very rambunctious, while my little female kitten has been the total opposite. Literally the most loving, cuddly kitten I've ever owned. I tend to think it depends on the cat and how they've been socialized from very early on, but that's just my...

Hi there, dealing with this right now! I recently adopted a kitten and introduced her through a long introduction phase to my 8 year old cat. The kitten (now 5.5 months) and my older cat seem to be getting along well enough. My older cat has always been more playful than lazy so I think it's...

Thanks for your responses! I appreciate the advice, I'm hoping these two end up as best buddies. Just so confusing when they get rough, especially from the older cat bc he's never really been around other cats before

She is spayed, she's just gets a case of the crazies sometimes, which I understand is totally normal for her (5.5 months) age. I guess I just get most concerned the last time that his fur and tail were puffed up a bit and his pupils were huge. That scared me because that seemed like a whole...

So, we've taken a bit of a step back in recent days unfortunately and I'm not sure what to do. My older cat has become more aggressive with the kitten and hissing a lot more and overall seems more agitated and anxious. I think this is mostly because I've just been letting them go and trying...

Thank you both so much for your responses. I am definitely too protective (my husband picks on me all the time about it) when it comes to my cats and I want so badly for them to like each other. I'm going to take that leap of faith tonight and see tomorrow during work goes. I think just the...

My husband and I got a new kitten three months ago (she's now 5 months old) and is very sweet, playful and high energy. We went through the full introduction process with our older, 7-year-old male cat as recommended and there has been relative harmony for the past couple of months. Overall, our...

@Lauren4883 Thanks so much for your reply. It's weird because neither of them are showing any signs yet, no lesions that I can find on my older cat or the kitten. Still waiting for the culture results so at this point it feels like I'm going nuts cleaning everything for nothing. I've been...

haha well, thank you so much for your responses. As uncomfortable as it makes me, I'm glad that it's really just him trying to be helpful. I guess I just worried about him trying to be super dominant to her, but he will occasionally go for grooming her head, which is adorable. As far as her...

So we just got a now 4-month old kitten about a month ago and introduced her to my 7 year-old male cat after a few weeks of very slow introduction. The two of them seem to be doing well, chasing each other around the house and playing. Sometimes the playing gets a little too rough and I'll hear...

Hi there! I'm new on the block here and I know there are countless other threads on this topic but I'd love some advice on my case: We just got a new kitten from the shelter a little over a month ago and she's totally stolen our hearts (although our 7-year-old cat might not be totally in love...
