My kitten and my moms cat...

noahthekitty Mar 27, 2005 01:48 PM

What is the best way to introduce my 6 week old kitten and my moms 2 year old cat? I brought the kitten over today for a visit but my moms cat didnt like him one bit. His tail got big and he was hissing at the kitten. I need to know because my mom is going to be passing away soon and I will be taking care of her cat after that happens.

I am sorry about your mother. The best thing to do right now is to take things over to her house that have your kitten's smell on them - like blankets and toys and let her cat get used to them.

When the time comes, then you must keep the two cats separated a very long time. You can gradually introduce them with supervised visits and also by putting one in a carrier while the other has free run of the house.

Good luck!
