Please help! A cat and two kittens not getting along!

[ilafa]

I've raised two orphan girls Coco and Voodoo and about two months ago we introduced them to our early desexed 2 year old female cat Ajci. We followed the steps described by the lovely people on this forum.

We've had a problem with Ajci being afraid of them, which has passed without any aggression besides a bit of hissing and growling. After almost two months, my girls still aren't getting along. but the dislike is coming only for Ajci's side

She swats them often when they come near. They don't show any aggression towards her and sometimes it even seems like she wants to chase around with them.

The last few days I felt absolutely devastated and felt the need to ask you lovely people for a piece of advice. When Ajci was napping on my bed and I came to pet her, Coco came with me. She stepped up to Ajci and STARTED GROOMING HER AND PURRING! But poor little thing got swatted for return

It has happened for three times now

I beg you for at least a bit of reassurance if not an advice

thank you

Everything is ok. Its just been 2 months since you introduced them, they are still working things out. Swatting is actually not very serious and could even be interpreted as an invitation to Coco to play.

Try not to get too stressed about it because they can pick up on your stress. As long as they are not fighting and drawing blood, you are actually having a successful introduction phase.
