hi ive just joined


i have a problem !!! i have a 14 yr old male cat,ive recently got a female kitten,ive had her since she was 6 wks old she is now just over 3 mnths old.

how long will it take for the 2 to get on,she's getting better at leaving him alone, but still pushes it,i feel sorry for him,he makes such a fuss even if she isnt even touching him.i end up shouting

wot can i do????

I hope the link helps. Wizz is lovely and helped me when I was having trouble introducing Bernie into the house. It took 6 months for Eva to finally accept him, fingers crossed it wont be as long for your two xxx

i did try in the beginning confining her to a dog cage i have when my dog was wee,but she worked out with in 4 days to climb up the bars n get out a hole at the top,i would feel cruel confining her now,as the only room i have free is a junk room,i did for a while in the day time and at bed time,have her in the bath room,but one day she decided she'd had enough n cried to get out

she gets on great with the dog

We dont have a spare room but we do have a large kitchen, so we set that up as Bernies room. We put a cage in and Bernie was able to wonder in and out of it while being confined to the kitchen. It was his safe place, we covered it over with a blanket too. At feeding times, we would feed Bernie inside the cage and Eva at a comfortable distance, gradually moving them closer. If we had a set back we would go back a stage and start again from there.
We also tried to create more territory with in the house by creating hiding places and leaving the odd shelf free for a cat bed.

i kept her litter tray in the bathroom,and i feed her in my room.but now as she is getting more able she can jump up on the stool and then the work top to get at the other cats food,i cant close my bed room door as i have a gate,to stop the dog geting in my room,i had the gate B4 i got the kitten


she is a very confident kitten,was from day one,she didnt freak in the car home.just lay on my knee n went to sleep

Hi Niki, welcome to Catsey!

I hope your 14 year old cat and your new kitten accept each other soon ......... it usually takes a little time for them to get to know each other and settle down.

Looking forward to hearing more about them!.
