I rescued a stray female kitten from a storm drain at McDonald's about 2 weeks ago. Had her vet checked, surprisingly healthy, but just shy of about 5 weeks old. (Unsure where her mother was). She also prefers water over kitten milk replacer so I am assuming she had to adapt where I found her. My 9 year old female cat has smelled her and seen her through the little crate that she sleeps in in my bedroom. She is very energetic and becoming bored of my bedroom and the crate, so I decided to try to let them meet (in hopes that all will go well and she can have full roam of the house as the other cat does). She tries to play and get my adult cat's tail, but the adult hisses and swats and acts as if she will hurt her. The kitten is very curious about the adult. How will I ever get the adult to accept the kitten ? The adult has been an "only child" for 6 years now. She has been very jealous of the kitten, even showing "cattitude" towards ME. She acts like she doesn't even want me to touch her.
