After two weeks, we have let our kitten out of her safe room after our adult female has gotten use to the smell. When the kitten comes out, the adult is fine unless the kitten invades the adult space or attacks her on her back. The adult is layed back and does not want the agravation in this point in her life. I think she was happy enough with just me and my wife. We got the kitten as an addition since we loss a 13 year old in January. We have two units of feliway running in the house. We put the kitten in her room at night.
She just will not leave the adult alone. We have used some water when the adult hisses to try to reinforce the message.
they do however eat treats within a foot of each other, but when the adult is eating, she is growling at the same time she is eating... it is a funny sound.
Our thoughts are, we made a mistake.. The kitten is so full of energy,,,like she is on speed. If the kitten does not bother the adult, the adult just watches. It just that we believe the adult has earned her respect and love in the house after 13 years. The kitten has to earn her respect in the family.
How long do we torchure the adult before we have to consider giving the kitten to another family. We love her to death and this would be the last resort.
