can someone help

I want to give it more time before I decide, but its more of like her hissing at the older cat and tensing up with her hair on end and so on. Is something that is normal play of a kitten as well.

My current cats are both around 20 months, not really kittens any more but only just adults. The female loves to play with the male's tail, and keeps pouncing on it until he gets annoyed and swipes at her, then they chase each other around the house. He gets her back by creeping up on her when she is taking a nap and jumping on her. They're just playing, but like any "siblings" they can rub each other up the wrong way, they do hiss at each other sometimes but this gets less frequent the longer they are together. They have lived together for 2 months now.

Ok well I will give it more time, just concerned don't want my older cat to get hurt or anything like that.

I also hope you don't take the kitten to a shelter. That would be sad. If you find you can't keep the kitten hopefully you can find a good home for it close by and you can visit!

I do plan on keeping them seperate for awhile due to the fact the kitten is only 7 weeks old and my older one is already a year. I want to wait till she's a bit bigger and older. Does your sisters kitten get jealous too. Well like she gets jealous when the older cat gets a treat and she gets none. Prob best to give her a treat when she's not looking. But thanks for the response.

haha, my cats Todd and Fish always try to attack the other one, Luna, while she is looking outside or taking a short nap, Luna hisses and try to scare them, but later they get good again, they seems to take it as a game, and they are getting along well.
Just be paitent, I think your cats will get along well eventually.

Yea, that's the point.

You should not advocating declawing. This is a procedure that involves amputating the ends of the cats toes. It's both painful and distressing for the cat, and it leaves it defenceless and unable to climb to get away from an attacker. Most vets will not do it anyway, but the procedure should be banned outright.

i agree with farrimond, declawing a cat is cruel and painful, cats have claws for a reason, the need them to climb and defend themselves, the vets here refuse to do it any more, too many complaints from other pet owers, cats have claws for a reason and should be left alone.

Id have to agree with everyone on this one. I adopted my older cat from the shelter and they most definitely stated that it would not be good to declaw them. They never suggest it and if you were to do so that the back ones at least. My husband had suggested because we have done this to our older cat. He suggested that we buy the soft claws and just file down her nails. We did that to the older cat and she was perfectly happy and she looked so happy with her soft claws and during that time she was not hurting us at all. That is something that I am considering but possibly when she is older if we keep her. Put some soft claws on him

hi elic, i think that if she puts the little one in the bathroom, i think she should also keep the toilet seat down, i heard once that someones cat drowned when it fell down the toilet, i am doing this already and my kittens haven''t learned how to climb yet, but i am getting things ready just incase, they are very playful at the mo and it won't be too long before they are all over the place, so the toilet seat is down already....lol....3 weeks old today they are...how time flies...

Yeah, I guess I assume she's got a brain to do that. Tho I also am thinking this kitten is getting bigger - oh well.

Hey Tatty - great news on the kittens, now they really start getting fun!

That is something I have been doing although I haven't tried the whole bathroom thing. She's been confined to the cage and the older one already seems attached and trying to get to know her and maybe want to play but the younger one, well she's about 7 weeks I want to say hisses at her and I guess this may be her way of playing I truelly don't know. She did so last night and then hopped back so she may be playing I'm not sure. But I've been watching her closely. But still kind of keep them seperated especially at night when its bed time. And we wake in the morning and we find the older cat which is a 1 yr and 3 months laying down watching her on the other side of the cage and 7 week old watching from inside the cage. They did quite well when I left them alone in one room all day but once again the baby in the cage.

A 7 week old kitten shouldn't be able to hurt a grown cat, so since the older cat seems to be doing well, she'll probably just pin the kitten down and give her a bath to keep her from attacking her.

The only exception to that is if she is a really tiny cat - I have a year old cat that is the size of a 5-6 month old kitten.

That is something that my husband and I were wondering cause she is so new and trying to be the dominant one over the cat whose older and has been here longer. I believe as she gets older and we keep her then she probably will turn out to be the dominant cat because she frightens off the older cat although the kitten is younger and smaller. Although I wonder if she is just playing I'm not sure. But I do hope that things get better.
