Feline Rivalry, What Should I Do?

blueyedprincess0406 asked:

7 week old male kitten and 6 year old male cat.. I just got a 7 week old kitten and my older cat doesnt like it. He hisses and swats at the kitten and goes in the other room and wont come out for the day. I bring them together 3-4 times a day but it seems like my older cat wants nothing to do with the kitten...Also...my kitten wont stop meowing!!! He meows when u walk away, when ur in the same room or when he is eating, going to the bathroom or just laying there...what can I do to get him to stop?? I've tried a spray bottle with water and that only makes the kitten run and hide and meow more...I havent gotten much sleep cuz he meows all the time!!!! GRRRR!!!!!!

Give your cat time!

Cats think they are kings of their jungle. You bring another cat into his territory, and there's gonna be kitty hell to pay!

Don't worry, they will adjust in time. But it's not a bad idea to separate the two for a couple days to get the little fur balls adjusted.
