Will my 2 other cats ever acccept my new kitten2007-11-25 12:33:16Answers:

I asked a similar question awhile ago and got some good answers you might like to read. If you put "we have got a new kitten" in the search for questions box you can read them. It is still open for voting, so maybe you can help resolve it - so many answers were good I would be sorry if it was deleted because of remaining a tie.

Since our kitten got big enough to go outside some of the time, they seem to get on fairly well in the garden, lying about peacefully. Inside, the kitten chases the big ones now! However, they sometimes hiss at him or box him - he is only scared for about 30 seconds! But I now feel hopeful that they will eventually get on together inside.

Be encouraged!

NEVER !

They will after some time.

If they wont accept your new kitten perhaps you should eat it yourself? Failing that, cover the kitten in Whiskers & lay it in their food bowl, it should work.it worked with my Uncle Piet.

my cat took longer than expected to bond with new kitten but now they are really close and go every where together

We have a cat that is 12 years old and very agressive, then our duaghter found two 3 day old "throwaways" that we immediately adopted. After a lot of hissing we asked our vet about how to help them get along and her advice was the best. Never leave them alone with each other in the beginning but when they are together let them set the boundaries, rather than the older cat learning to accept them the younger cats will learn their boundaries. It has been a year and a half and they live together fine, respecting the older cats limits.

Cats are funny creatures and have there own little ways. They may find it hard at first to get on with the kitten. I have one cat and I was thinking about getting a kitten. Someone from the Cat protection league told me the best way to introduce a new cat/kitten into your home if you already have a cat is buy placing the kitten in a large cage.(Yes I know this sounds horrid, was shocked when she said this!) She showed me the cage they used when taking cats to new homes where other cats were. There is a lot of room in there and they are only in it for a little while. What happens is the cat that is already there can have a look and check out the new addition. They get used to the smell and also it gives them time to know each other. The cat that has is been brought into the house also gets used to the idea there is another cat in the house and that it won't necessarily e the first in the pecking order! Hope everything works out for the cats!

Yes, I have 2 three year old cats, brother and sister, and recently found two abandoned three week old kittens, also brother and sister. I have hand reared the kittens and they are now 7 weeks old.
