recently I was given a beautiful blue eyed snow bengal she kitten for my birthday. I already have 2 tom cats 1 is around 3 years old and neutered and the other is only about 3 - 4 months old both get on and are very affectionate.
I've had the kitten for about a week and have kept her seperate in my bedroom she is very different from my toms she is very vocal, wants to play with everything and only wants attention when shes tired and comes to you which is what I expected of her being a bengal and also a female.
However yesterday I moved into a new house and finally tried to introduce the cats in their new home, this did not go well......
The kitten seems confident about going around the whole house but she is very hostile to my older cats, to the point where my young tom hid behind the sofa and the older one under a bed upstairs and every time one comes out of his hiding place the bengal hisses, growls and chases them back to their hiding places and they are visibly terrified and shaking.
It was like this all day and by night time I decided to leave them overnight to see if they settled a little however when I got up both the cats were still in exactly the same places. This concerns me because i'm sure my kitten isn't letting them get to the water/food/tray. It is now 9.00pm on the second day and the situation remains the same.
The kitten also is very aggresive in general she seems to growl and hiss at nothing as well as at her toys and people especially when you move her or pick her up.
Anyone hve any ideas what I should do?
