What do you do when you have a new kitten brought into the house and the other cats get jealous?
the answer is a bit complicated. these two things simultaneously: 1. SEPARATE your older cats need a proof that they still matter. The new kitten should sleep and eat apart of them. The places where they are 'the boss' should for start stay reserved just for the older cats. 2. Bring together pet them together. take both cats into your lap and pet them. if your older cat gets agressive, turn from it (not for weeks, for a minute or so) and just pet the other cat. Also pet your older cats on these 'premier' places where they like to sleep, and show them that your affection is not becoming smaller. The new kitten will be fine with a little less attention, don't you care about that. What matters now is to form a healthy cat household.

Can a cat live in two homes?
So, I'm thinking about getting a kitten, but my parents are divorced and I don't really want to leave my cat at one house. I'm only at my moms house two days a week, and from past experiences, I can see that cats don't really bond with you when you don't see them too often. At my dads house, he doesn't really put up with indoor cats, and I hate it that we have my other cat outside (a few years ago we tried getting a kitten and he got hit by a car). I was thinking, maybe if I got a kitten that was all my responsibility and my dad would hardly know it was there, I could keep it with me at like all times. If I brought this cat with me to both my dads and my moms house, would it be too much for me or the cat? And do you think it would work? Btw this probably won't happen but I was just thinking
Will the mother cat take a kitten back after it spent the night ithe house with two oher cats?
That is a good question. It may but first you need to remove the other cats scent from the kitten. Give it a short bath in kitten shampoo. After the kitten is dry, rub the kitten against the mama cat without the mama seeing the kitten. Doing this puts mamas scent back on the kitten and will make for a better meeting.
Which is better to get first a kitten or puppy if you intend to get both?
I'd say it's probably better to get them both at the same time. That way they can bond and grow together. If you get one before the other chances are the first pet will get jealous of the attention that the new pet is receiving.
Can a kitten be brought into a home with a dog?
Yes, kittens and dogs get along very well. I have two dogs and a cat. Please go to my bio page by clicking onto my name and you will see them. Put the dog on a leash in the house until the kitten investigates the house and the new owners. This should take approximately 1/2 hour. Then gently bring the dog over to the kitten. The kitten will hiss and arch it's back, but this is a normal instinct for them. Don't let the dog chase the kitten and keep a watchful eye on them. Pet the dog and then pet the kitten (putting the smell of the dog on the cat and then pet the dog putting the smell of the kitten on it.) No matter how large your dog is dogs generally learn very quickly that kittens are becoming a part of the family. Once you are fairly certain that the dog is gentle let the dog and kitten settle their differences. The kitten may get a crack or two with it's little nails into the nose of the dog and most of the time the dog will back off no matter how big they are. Before you know it they will be buddies.

Is a kitten good to a home with 1 cat 2 children 1 husband and 1 wife?
It depends on the type of kitten you are planning to get as well as if your current cat is generally friendly towards other cats. If you do end up getting a kitten, when you introduce it to your home leave it in its kennel for a little bit while you let your other cat sniff the kitten. The kitten will probably become a little scared, but trust me, it is much more overwhelming for them when the kitten is not in the kennel. After both cats get a sense of who the other cat it, you can let the kitten out of its kennel. Other than that, a kitten should be fine. Also, make sure you spread your time equally to both cats or else your current cat will get jealous and most likely act meaner towards the kitten. Good luck :)

Not nesesarily, if you play with your kitten or give attention regularly, you don't need another kitten, but if the kitten is alone a lot, it might be a good idea to get another one for it to play with.

What to do when a visiting cat is jealous of your cat's skills in touch pet cats?
I believe this is so because when another another cat enters the house the currently living-there cat is wondering Why do you bring another cat here? I am your cat! So I believe that the cat is jealous that another cat is in the house or you have recently touched another cat. Your cat has picked up the scent of that other cat. I know this because of experiences with my cat. Your cat is jealous that the other cat interacted with you.
