[Siouxsie]

[Sunny_01]

I would leave them to it - they will suss each other out soon enough and decide where the other sits in the pecking order

[Siouxsie]

how long will it take my cat seems unhappy its getting me down

[lily.]

How old is ur cat?.. I had 3.. at 6 month intervals.. We had initial probs.. but nothin major.. usually settles down after a week or two.

[Siouxsie]

my cat is 1yr 3 months and the kitten is only six weeks

[lily.]

we introduced a kitten when ours was about 8 months... it will be fine.. give them time.

Are they ignoring each other or fighting?

[Siouxsie]

[Siouxsie]

you could try and play with your kitten and then your cat might get jelous and then don't play with your cat until it learns to get along with your new kitten, hope it helps!
