Hi,
I have had my cat since birth and she has always been around other cats (we had 3 others when she was born). She has never loved other cats and has always hissed or yelled at them (she is very vocal anyhow). She doesn't like other cats near her.

However, I just got 2 kittens (3 months now) and we had them for 2 weeks and then moved to a new place and they are all around the apartment and have free rein (they were in their own rooms for the first week and sniffed one another's stuff). The kittens could care less that she yells at them but they are very curious with her and follow her around (which she hates). She now sleeps in my closet so they can't find her. She does come into bed though at night and purrs. She has her food in our bedroom and her own litterbox but the kittens use it to.

She doesn't physically attack but at night when we are all sleeping she will get physical if she thinks one of them is on her. The other night it was my hand unfortunately and she felt very bad after.

Does anyone have any suggestions other then the things I have already done? I don't know if she will ever accept them but I just wish she wasn't so stressed about them because they really could care less.

- Kandace
