Hi there,
I have one kitten who is almost 3 months old male who was found abandoned at about 4 weeks of age. I have recently got another kitten about 6 weeks old female who was given away by someone who found a litter with a dead mother. (I know it would have been ideal if all kittens could have been kept together to socialise properly but this wasn’t manageable).
So now I have two unsocialised kittens and the older one is “play fighting” with the younger one relentlessly, but also won’t stop when she begins hissing etc. and it turns into aggression. He is fine with eating near her and they don’t hiss or growl if they see each other across room etc. but I’m not sure how to get him to stop running and biting her neck every time she gets on the ground. He won’t just stand around her and be non-aggressive and not attack her unless it’s feeding time, playing under the door or they’re sleeping together on the lounge.
I tried socialising them slowly over a week but it’s been almost 3 weeks and no improvement. Any suggestions would be welcome.
