Hi all,
I have two kittens (15 weeks old) and an adult cat (5 years old).
I've had the kittens since they were 8 weeks old and we took the introduction slowly. The process can be found on this thread:
Introducing new kittens to resident cat.
Last week, we allowed the kittens to roam in the evenings and put them in their room at night - which went well. We put bells on all three cats so they can hear each other.
This weekend, we allowed them to roam freely.
Previously, my adult cat, Buffy, would hiss and swat if they came to her food bowl or too close to her.
Now the kittens are roaming freely, they stalk her and try to play with her. She hates it.
She's started running at them and then runs off. The problem is, they run after her because they think it's a game.
We play with all the cats, but the kittens always have the energy to hassle Buffy.
Last night, we put them back into their room before we slept, and Buffy was more chilled.
Not sure how to manage their exuberance around Buffy.
