Hi,
I have a 14 year old neatured, female cat(Cherry/Puss). She has a bit of a temper but she always has but is very kind to Mamma(Me!)
I bought a 12 week old kitten on Thursday. She keeps hissing at the new kitten, nothing scary or harmful but I'm worried my older cat will think she is being replaced. I have been giving her treats and petting her a little more than usual.
The new kitten(Nala) is very playful and takes no notice of Puss hissing at her and his very care free and is not stressed at all. They can eat together but if Puss see's Nala playing or getting too close she will hiss and growl at her. I have Puss in the bedroom with me and my partner one night then swap with the kitten so they can get used to each others smells.
As they are eating together I'm guessing they will be fine in a few weeks or so? As my cat Puss, if she REALLY didn't like her, we would 100% know it. Just want some clarification really.
I am going to try the sock method also!
Thank you so much
P.s. no arsy, sarcastic replies please!!
