I recently got a new kitten about a week ago, and I’m not sure how my male cat is taking it. He’s about a year old and not neutered and has interacted with cats before and has been fine. Sometimes he will randomly bite her (usually around the neck) and makes a growl sound. For the most part she doesn’t meow or squeak when he does this, however the way he growls when he does it concerns me. She doesn’t seem to be scared of him and is always trying to play with him. Is it maybe that he just doesn’t know how to play with a kitten or? Also I have seen her lick her bottom and is still sniffing it whenever he gets the chance. I keep them separated for the most part and let them interact a couple hours of the day until I’m comfortable with them being alone. I do plan to get him neutered before she is old enough to breed. But this might speed up the process if it is indeed aggression. Any thoughts of his behavior and how to handle it? I have a video embedded of the interaction. I didn’t stop the encounter this time solely for the video purpose.
