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.

I have two kittens and there mother. The mother and the older kitten are fine when they go to the litter box and even cover it up. The youngest kitten is abnormally potent though. I have been feeding him kitten food since he was old enough to eat it. But about two or three months ago the kitten started going and when he would get out the smell would spread through the entire house very quickly and linger for an extremely long time. We clean the litter box daily and we even got more than one little box and then got covered littler boxes. Yet, no matter what whenever the kitten goes the smell just dominates is all i can say. I feed the mother adult indoor cat purina and the ktiten well, kitten purina food. Is there anything i can do to try and make the smell stop at the source? The kittens are almost eight months old so not really kittens anymore could it be related to them not being neutered?

Have you considered feeding your cats premium food? Commercial cat food can be affordable, but premium foods found at pet stores or vets are nutritionally dense. Cats/Kittens fill up on premium foods faster.

I buy my cat's food from the vet. It's more pricey, yes... but my cats are healthier for it!

We recieved a kitten 12 weeks ago from my mother (she walked in through her dog door). Luna is now approx 24 weeks old. Thursday an approximately 12 week old kitten walked through OUR doggie door. The kitten is skittish, and though not afraid of Luna per se (Luna sniffs, hisses, jumps back, rolls on her tummy etc around the kitten) but the kitten hides under my bed most of the time--she'll come if I bring food to her and call her, but she doesn't really come out. Am I introducing them correctly? The kitten really isn't afraid of Luna and has pawed back at her when Luna gets hissy. I've never done this before, help! Kitten hides and I have to pull her out to eat (though the food is always out)...help!
I have put up signs for the kitten's owners, but I figure if no one comes to claim her we will probably keep her. Our cat Luna is such a snot! She's bigger than the other one! I just want to make sure kitten gets enough to eat....

This article will help you! Remember to give your cats some time to get adjusted to one another!

Faylina M asked:

I got this new kitten a few weeks ago, we took him to the vet because he was sneezing all the time, vet said he had a small kitten cold and we had him on antibiotics and it seemed to go away. For a couple of days he was running around playing with our other aniaml (a full grown 3 year old cat).Now my kitten is very depressed looking, doesn't want to move, eat, drink, or go to the bathroom, he has urinated once but thats it. In the past my cat had a problem with hair balls (my other one) so i gave me kitten a teaspoon of veg oil to see if maybe he had a hairball but to no avail he STILL won't go to the potty.

The other problem is my 3 yr old cat is now sneezing a good bit, like my kitten was when she was sick. Other then that shes fine, playful and otherwise normal.

How long should I wait before I take my kitten to the vet, should i do it immediately? Hes also from a animal rescue if thats helpful.

Should I worry about the minor sneezing of my other cat?

Please help!!!
More info:

My kitten two days ago vomited a few times but we figured its because he gorged himself on food (which he WAS doing)

My kitten was neg for feline luk when in the animal shelter and my other day is vaccinated but was at one point around cats who were FL positive.

Should there be concern for this that they both might have FL?

My kitten was also gaining weight until the day he vomited and now seems hes back down to where he was two weeks ago when I got him.

Hes about 15 weeks old.
I decided to call my Vet while I was waiting for responses. I am taking my kitten to the Vet today. My cat doesn't need to go to the vet but will take her in if she doesn't get over the sneezing.

It sounds like your cat has some health issues. Your best is to take your kitty to a vet for a full check up.

My neighbor's niece works at a toll booth on the toll way and last night a trucker threw a box in her booth while she was working and inside was a kitten. So they brought the kitten to me because I have a cat that is nursing kittens of her own. My cat's kittens are on the older side tho (About 6 weeks)and are not nursing as much anymore. This little kitten doesn't even has its eyes open yet. My mom cat has taken to the new born kitten but the kitten I notice doesn't know how to suckle that well. So I gave the kitten new born kitten formula because we do not know the last time the kitten ate.
My cat has been stimulating the new kitten to go potty and all... but mom cat doesn't seem to know what to do with the kitten.
So my question is... Do I let my mom cat just do her thing and not worry? The mom cat takes the kitten out of her box with the water bottle that I use to keep her warm and walks around with the kitten in her mouth and leaves her in the middle of the floor.
So I am scared the kitten will get cold and die. And I need to get some sleep...
Should I just bring the kitten in my room with me and forget about the mom cat taking care of her or like I said ... Should I let my cat just do her thing?

When the kitten cries the mom cat goes right to it so I am not sure she is rejecting it. She is cleaning it. I have been feeding it and the info I got about feeding the kitten is to bottle feed it every 4 - 6 hours.
The kitten is very strong and she is doing wonderful this morning. I just left her in the box and mom cat was cleaning her when I woke up to check on her. I feed her again and then handed her over to mom cat for cleaning and stimulation for going potty.
I will call my vet this morning and take the kitten in for a check up, just to make sure...

tisayski asked:

We have been taking care of an adult female stray cat for over a year now. She has had 2 pregnancies already but her kittens die when they reach a certain age from sort sort of a seizure.

She had 2 kittens from her 1st pregnancy and 4 kittens from the 2nd pregnancy and the kittens all died from the same mysterious seizure. She gave birth to her 2nd litter about 3 or 4 months ago and everything seemed ok until last week when one of the kittens had a siezure and hid in our attic and eventually died. two days after another one had the seizure then followed by another one. the last kitten just died yesterday from the same thing. they all seemed healthy and i am just wondering what caused it.

I was thinking that maybe the mommy cat carried a gene or a virus that is passed on to the kittens or something like that. when they have seizures it usually lasts for an hour and they die. Please help me find out what it is..thanks

There mother is getting spayed as soon as the kittens are 8wks.

They'll get fixed when they are older,if we keep them.

gennatay902 asked:

I have kitten that is now 7 months old. I adopted a 7 week old kitten on Sunday. I keep the 7wk old in the bathroom and the 7 month gets to roam the house. The first day there was hissing from the 7 month. On Monday I put the 7 wk in the bedroom and left the bathroom door open so the 7 month could get the scent of the new kitten. I've had them trade places several times since then. Fast forward to today and I left the bathroom door open and let the new kitten roam. The 7 month growled at first and then just started following him around sniffing the 7wks tail. Then the 7 month kinda grabbed the new kitten and I saw teeth so I separated them. Was the 7 month old trying to play with the kitten or trying to hurt him?
