Ok, I have a 5 week old hand reared kitten (so unsocialised) that I want to introduce to my 5 month old male un-neutered kitten.
I've had my female since she was 3 days old. And since then my 5 month old has HATED her. The first time I let them be together (just to see how they would go) he beat her on the head with his paw. So we separated and thought to try again later.
About a week later when she could walk a little we tried again - This time he grabbed her around the neck and I was afraid he wouldn't let go. So I got her off him (she wasn't hurt) and left it at that.
Now she is five weeks - They have basically been separated for the entire time. He has smelt plenty of things that she has been on, and I don't think she even realises his smell is on things!
So I tried again and again he went straight for the kill shot around her neck. She just goes limp and I separated them.
What do I do? I can't get her socialised without him but he just won't have a bar of her. He stalks outside her room looking for an opportunity to punce.
HELP!!!
