I recently adopted two kittens, 10 weeks old. We already have two older cats, 6 years old. We've had the kittens for 3 days now and we started swapping the blankets in their living spaces. Trying to get them used to one anothers scent. My older kitties have been growling and hissing. One has started attacking her sister because she doesn't recognize the scent. So I'm slowing down the process but still I'm getting nervous what if we can't get along!!??

I've given them rescue remedy in their food before but I've read here to put it on their ears?? Which works better?? I'm also going to invest in Feliway.

I would do what works best for you. If you used it in the food/water before that is what I would continue doing.
I had a hard time getting it into my cats' ears. They didn't like the smell and would run. It was worse then pilling.

You are doing your best at this point. Some people do take a drop or two and rub it on the tip of the ears, and if your cats do tolerate that you might try that. There is also a Rescue Remedy cream which is supposed to do well. Don't drop anything IN the ears unless directed to do so by the vet.

Good luck to you!
