Hey fags

We got a kitten a few months ago (it has nowhere else to go so we took it in), and it's settled in with our 2 dogs perfectly but we have another cat, a lot older and they just will not get on, I know it's his territory and all that but what can I do to help them get on, I feel bad for the kitten because whenever he sees him he just wants to play

Cute cats. I'm not really sure tho what would be best in order for them to get along.

But these guys will be able to help you.

best thing is to take it slow.

Either keep the kitten in a room and let your older cat wander the house/sniff through the door, or do the same thing but with the older cat in a room and let the kitten wander in the house.

Try having someone play with the kitten while another person holds the cat, this way he'll at least know the kitten isn't a threat.

Another thing is giving both of them treats in the same room/at the same time. Start off with them eating farther apart from eachother, and slowly give them treats closer to eachother. Sounds weird but worked for my older cat when I got a kitten a few years ago.

I'm not an expert, so take it with a grain of salt

Surprised they're happy at all living in a meth house

we've already tried most of that, they'll sleep in the same room but won't go remotely close to each other

I faced a similar situation when my gf moved in with me, ended up solving it while she was at work.
> Put both cats in a closet
> Throw some treats and toys in there
> Close the door and listen outside of it
> If they start fighting squirt them with a super soaker till they stop
The trick is not letting them escape - they will try. They will yowl, if it's persistent use the super soaker, aim for the head.

Only took 5 sessions of about 4 hours each.

Don't listen to this guy, it worked for him because they were gonna get along regardless. Cats that hate each other will legitimately kill each other in such a high stress environment.

Or practically rape each other... I'm not kidding. It's a dominance thing obviously.

I'm afraid this has to go into a showdown. Since you're in for a while already, I don't think having them sleep seperately or letting them size each other up through a window or creaked door will help. Dominance must be asserted until the kitten has grown up, and they'll go through different stages until then.

let them have at each other. Don't pick the kitten up unless it gets out of hand. One or the other needs to skulk off in these fights, eventually. If you protect the kitten, the older cat will get jealous and even madder.

To be honest the picture looks pretty healthy. They're communicating by watching and body language. This is just going to take patience.
