Beautiful kitty…beautiful view!!
This is the hope I need that (almost) 6 y.o. female will accept 3 month old male kitten. I want them to be friends!!
We’re not there yet, but on they way! I didn’t know about the spots on Leopards!
Usually when they are small, it works out. When they are both adult, it becomes very complicated. Good luck, keep us posted!
When he acts kitten crazy she hisses. And he jumps on her. She bats him away, but always with no claws. So…she is irritated with him, but zero aggression. So…I have great hope.
First I had Toffee (1 year old approx), and after 3 months I adopted Moka with 2 months, because Toffee was basically hiding behind my couch 24/7. She did more of less the same in the beginning; ignore him, hiss at him, bat at him with no claws, and wasn’t too amused about all this. But after some weeks they became buddies, and now they play together. They are not inseparable, but get along really well and like each other’s company. I hope it works out! For how long have they been together?
Two months! But there was another kitten until 2 weeks ago. I was keeping her until my son was settled in his new apartment. I do see improvement. I’m glad your babies are getting along. I’m sure it will continue to get better.
If happiness were a colour, it would definitely be YELLOW!! Happy Schimanski Cat!
You know them best, if you see improvement, that’s a good sign. Fingers crossed, I’m sure it’ll work out fine in the end! Looking forward to those happy family pics!
Beautiful view!
FYI - They don’t change, of course, that’s the point, yeah!
Lesson of the day!
How long have you had them both?
Do they both have their own area in the house to call their own, where they can get time out from each other?
The older cat sounds like she is setting boundaries,and also sounds like she is not threatened by the kitten as she is not ‘fighting’ (using claws and teeth)with him.
I sometimes dog sit my sisters Pomeranian.
Although they don’t love each other, Daisy cat and Bella put up with one another and sometimes even play fight, chasing each other about the house.
You just have to be patient and be responsible and present if things were to turn ugly.
Best of luck
Aaawww!!
I’ve had my older kitty for almost 6 years. She had a littermate brother who she adored. We tragically lost him to illness in October. I had no intention of getting another cat…at least for a while. To let her grieve and learn to be on her own. But…didnt plan on a mommy cat bringing 3 babies in my back yard. I found homes for two and kept one. I’ve had him since November. They definitely have their own space. She has the bonus room upstairs which is off limits to the dogs and is her space. The kitten is allowed up there now because she let him. He has a large crate in the family room where his box and food and bed are. He goes night night at about 10, and she sleeps with me. I think we have done well taking things slowly. She is setting boundaries, but he is a clueless little kitten and it is taking him a while.
Thanks for all the info.
It sounds like you have done all the right things; it’s just a matter of time now🤞like you say.
Good to hear that Ol’ Mama Cat has her own space - as it causes stress/anxiety when they don’t !
It’s good that she is not giving up her position in the home-she’s showing that she’s still the reigning princess by sleeping on your bed!
They will sort it out eventually, l think!
All the very best
How cute! The one in the front is the one that hopped in the bathtub?
