I have a 2 year old Male Cat called Hades and have just adopted a 7 week old female kitten called Maia.
We have given Maia her own room with all of the things she needs. At first Hades was scared of little Maia and wouldn't go near her. She kept hissing at him. After 2 days they were both sleeping on the lounge together and everything was fine. But when Maia wakes up and starts to play Hades starts chasing her around the house. I think that he is playing because he doesn't hiss or growl at her, after about a minute Maia will start to hiss at him.
Maia is a very noisy, playful kitten and does not like to be left in a room by herself. If she is awake and by herself she will start to meow until she falls back to sleep or somebody come to see her.
When she is quiet Hades will come and sniff her and then leave her alone, but as soon as she meows or starts playing, he wants to chase her.
Sorry for the long post, but should I let them play like this or should I be seperating them?
Thanks.
