make sure you give your older cat plenty of alone time without the kittens -with you. your older cat may be feeling replaced with a newer version of herself. I had a Siamese who would hide under my bed until i locked the kittens out of my room for the night.
Cat = kat, or if it is a female one: Poes Kitten = kitten
Well, it seems you might have already messed up the introductions.The first step should always be setting up a separate room for the kitten, where they can explore their new world without getting into too much trouble, and, here's the benefit for your older cat: You let the older cat get curious about the kitten, and WANT to make their acquaintance.If you just came home and dumped a new cat into the middle of what the older cat thinks of as their home, you've created a little intruder. Cats don't like intruders.It might not be too late to separate the two cats and start over. This will give the older cat some breathing room to sort out how they would like to react.Generally kittens can melt the older cat's heart, but there are some circumstances that can cause difficulties:* The cat is too old for the play appeal to take hold. Cats vary, of course, but once a cat reaches double digits, they might be more interested in refining their nap technique than to be chased all over the house by some young whippersnapper. * The cat is not social. Some cats are simply not cat oriented. If your older cat is shy or not playful, they will find a kitten's overtures to be annoying when they want to be left alone. * The cat has a deprived background. A kitten can stir up all kinds of difficulties, from flashing them back to bad times to bringing up the hidden truth that they are not very skilled at inter-cat communications. They will find themselves unable to establish good cat relations if they do not understand the signals.No matter what the cat's problem might be, starting introductions over is a good first step. Make a fuss over checking on the kitten when you go in there to play with the kitten, and come out to let the older cat smell the kitten's scent while they get a treat. When the older cat hangs out at the door and sneaks around to see you go in and out, the older cat is letting their curiosity overcome their annoyance. Don't rush this process. Have the older cat hankering to see the kitten.Try to make good things happen when the kitten is around, from treats to toys. Point out the tremendous advantages to your older cat of having their own kitten. Pretend they asked you to get a kitten.And be honest; how much of this is your own fault? Have you fussed over the kitten and neglected the older cat? Have you changed beloved routines for the kitten? Do you laugh at something the kitten does that the older cat isn't allowed to do?Give the older cat a reason to like the kitten, not a reason to resent them.
You can't tell if they will be fluffy or not. As the kitten gets older it will get easier to tell if the kitten is longhaired or shorthaired, but in very young kittens it is very difficult to tell.
Your older cat may be hissing at the kitten because she smells different after being at the vet, which can trigger territorial behaviors. Your older cat may need time to re-establish familiarity with the kitten's scent and readjust to her presence in the home. Give them gradual, supervised reintroduction to help them rebuild their relationship.
Kitten is a baby domestic cat. Cub is a baby big cat.
older cats dont go well with kittens,the older cat wants to relax...the kitten wants to play.....then that leads up to a fight
An older cat may pin down a kitten to establish dominance or discipline the kitten for inappropriate behavior. This behavior is a way for the older cat to assert its authority and teach the kitten proper social boundaries.
An older cat.

Cats are not pack animals, they only tolerate each other in our homes because we feed them. You older cat sees the kitten as invading it territory.
They will get along fine. Cats are easier to adapt to a new kitten - compared to dogs. You can bring the kitten inside and maybe put it in a room with the door closed for a few hours. The indoor cat will sniff around and get to know it before you put them together.
It's better to get a young cat, although if you are a kid, you would probaly want a kitten, they are wild, and playful. An older cat would be suitable for an older person, they are more relaxed, and calm. If you get a kitten or a young cat,they bond to you, and are more closer to you when they get older.
Yes and no if the older cat has been treated for worms it would not happen but if older cat had not been treated yes it will Hope this help
The kitten may not leave the older cat alone because it is seeking attention, playfulness, or companionship. Kittens are often curious and energetic, and may want to engage with the older cat for social interaction or to establish a bond.
The don't have to hate at all! It very much depends on the cat and kitten. My older cat treated my new kitten as her own.
I dont quite know what you are asking but it is unusual for a cat to just have one kitten, however its not uncommon
To address a situation where a kitten is playing too rough with an older cat, you can separate them when the play gets too rough, provide separate play areas, and redirect the kitten's energy towards appropriate toys. Additionally, you can supervise their interactions and intervene if necessary to prevent any harm to the older cat.
