Get each cat's scent on things that they each usually walk past, smell, or play with. After you've had the new cat for a week, introduce them face to face. They will most likely hiss. This is normal. Separate them again and keep doing this every day until they don't hiss at each other.

Cats can or can't get along with each other depending on the circumstances. One example would be if Cat A met with Cat B in Cat B's territory and they are mature, in that case, the two cats aren't likely to get along. But, let's say Cat C and Cat D both knew each other since they were kittens and live in the same territory, they are likely to become dependent upon each other. It really depends on your circumstance such as how long the cats knew each other, their age, territory, and relativity.

Sure. You have to allow them to get used to each other, and keep a close eye on them to make sure they are getting along, as the kitten will be much more playful then the cat.

The bigger cats do not like kittens because they feel offended, you need to keep an eye on bigger cats who will mark their territory.

No way!

Even if the cat didn't eat the mouse, the mouse would be very scared and run away.

Why do kittens cry while you are giving him attention?

How can you make an old cat get used to a new dog?

Well,you have to give your pets time to get use to one anouther they probley have not seen any thing like it before.You need to start kepping them inthe same room so that they will get time to know one anouther then they will be use to one anouther and no more running around the house like mad. So follow the tip i am sure it will work. ** Never put a kitten in the same room unattended with a dog. The dogs instinct is to chase anything that runs. This will endanger the kitten. You need to hold the kitten while the dog is in the same room and make sure the dog will not harm the cat. You do not push the kitten on the dog but let them sit quietly with you in the room. A little closer and longer each day and they will get used to each other with your support. When your introducing a kitten to the dog (or the other way around) Don't put them inside the same room. you should block the room with something that they could see through and put them in separate sides so they could look at each other and you should just give them time to get use to seeing each other and eventually they might become friends


How do you sex a kitten?

Young kittens are very difficult to correctly sex. The genitals only start to visibly develop once the kitten is at least two or three weeks old. The best way to tell what gender a cat is, it by looking underneath the base of its tail. A male cat that has not been neutered will have two furry testicles right below the anus, and a penis right below the testicles. Spayed and intact female cats alike will have a genital opening (vulva) which is a tear-drop shape located right below the anus.


How long do you keep a kitten indoors before allowing it out?

Do not let the kitten out until you are satisfied that he/she will be able to cope with the various dangers that the outdoors presents and that he/she will be able to find his/her way home (we were advised not to let our cats outdoors until they were at least six months old). Make sure the cat has had all its vaccinations, been neutered and been microchipped/is wearing a collar with an id tag. Try to introduce the cat to the outside slowly- accompany it around the garden as it explores and discourage it from leaving until it is used to it, call it back frequently and reward it with a small amount of food or a favourite treat. If you have a conservatory, you can accustom the cat to that first as an intermediate, where they can view the outside but be safely confined. We bring our cats in at night as they are less visible on the roads and therefore more likely to be injured in the dark, if you decide to do this it is a good idea to start from the first time you let them out and make it a routine- they should come in quite happily.

How do you get a cat to like dogs?

The best way to get a cat to like dogs is to raise it from a small kitten (6-10 weeks) with a dog. Being so small and still learning about the big world around it, the kitten will not discriminate against the dog and see it as a companion (friend). As the kitten grows to an adult, it will not see dogs as a threat, but instead, as a new friend

If you had a kitten for 3 month how old do you think they are?

The best way to figure out a cat's age is to take it to your veterinarian and ask for his/her opinion. I got a kitten at about 6 months of age (it was found abandoned in a corn field), and based upon when she got her full size we estimated that was about the one year mark.
