7 month old kitten not reacting well to two new 7 week old kittens

Got a new, young, furry love in your life? This is the place for you to ask all of your questions - big or small! Just remember that you are receiving advice from other cat owners and lovers... not professionals. If you have a major problem, always seek the advice of a vet or behaviorist! Most important is to remember to have fun with your new fur baby.

Hi there,

Maple is now 7 months old and we've decided to get a friend for her.
Well we ended up getting two new friends for her, however all she does is hiss at them if they come too close.
Any hints on improving their relationship? Should I put them together or wait for them to do it of their own accord?

Thanks,
Ella

Well, Maple has been an "only cat" and she probably is not happy with having TWO more cats in the house to take time away from her with her person.

Suggestions I have seen here on CATSTER include, 1) Taking an old towel or t-shirt and rubbing it first on the two new kittens. Then take it into the room where Maple is. Just let her get used to their scent. Introduce them gradually......a few minutes a time at first.

With kittens this young it should take no time until they are running and playing all over the house. Know you will get more suggestions from other CATSTER members.

Good Luck!!!
