Why is new kitten so mean2007-11-25 11:44:15

i have had my kitten for 7 months now, and recently got a new kitten. the older kitten is excited and keeps trying to play and lay with the new kitten. but the new kitten hisses and swats at Him and wont let him near her. is there a way to help the new kitten get along with the older?

Answers:

New kittens/cats are always nervous in new surroundings, your older cat's playful-ness is probably too much for your new kitty to handle at the moment, its already overwhelmed being in a new place. Give your new kitty time to adjust without being bothered by your older kitty. When he gets comfy in his new surroundings, slowly let them spend more time together. It will take the new guy some getting used to the old guy, and if your old cat keeps badgering her and trying to play too rough, she won't be able to adjust and will keep being aggrivated by your older cat and will never come to like him. Give her the time and space to explore without distraction, when shes comfy then she'll be ready to socialize with your older cat.

They will work it out on their own, it might seem at times they are fighting, but they will sort out their roles in the household. Just be sure to give them both lots of attention both together and seperately.

You just have to let them get used to each other. The new kitten is probably frightened and intimidated by the older one, especially in a new enviornment, so it may just be being adapting to changes.
