    Help - has anyone successfully overcome a resident cat attacking a new kitten?

    Hi there, and thank you so much for your reply. I'm so sorry to hear that it didn't work out with your two cats :( If I'm honest I'm getting very worried that we will be in the same situation and I'm trying to figure out whether we should re-home him soon or try for a bit longer. I think by 6...

    Help - has anyone successfully overcome a resident cat attacking a new kitten?

    I'm OK with a wide berth... it's the apparent murderous intent I can't deal with :( I have been holding out hope that she'll back off when he grows a bit. She doesn't seem at all scared of him, just very cross.

    Help - has anyone successfully overcome a resident cat attacking a new kitten?

    You're not being a downer, I think this is what I'm trying to get a gage of from people. Is it a situation that others have had and managed to rectify, or is there no real hope of things improvement. We are able to give both of them attention and lots of time to explore, it's just stressful...

    Hi there, Excellent idea re the cardboard, thank you. Yes they both get around. We take it turns to shut one away and let the other have free run of the house, which I'd hope is also helping with the scent swapping...

    Help - has anyone successfully overcome a resident cat attacking a new kitten?

    Interestingly our last cat did this after her brother went missing for couple of weeks. It wasn't nearly as aggressive though, more hissing and a few swots. I'll revert back to scent swapping and hope it starts to make a difference. High posts are a good idea. we've got the feliway, it...

    Help - has anyone successfully overcome a resident cat attacking a new kitten?

    Hello, thanks for the reply. I have spoken to the lady we got him from, she had lots of suggestions none of which have worked. I'm starting to think we'll need to rehome him but my daughter adores him so it would be absolute last resort.

    Help - has anyone successfully overcome a resident cat attacking a new kitten?

    Hi everyone, I'm losing hope and wondered if there are any success stories out there? Our resident 4 year old spaed female siamese is still attacking our new male kitten. It's been almost 7 weeks now. We've done the careful introductions and been keeping them separate after each bad episode...
