Hi,
I've posted before about my problems introducing my cats. But as I've progressed with introductions, it seems as though the situation is different.
My original cat Mow still loves the older cat who lives here and hates the kitten I've recently got.
Initially I thought she wanted to eat him but as I've let them see each other it seems as though she is simply terrified of the kitten. The kitten would love nothing more if she would play with him and constantly tries to interact with her, but she hisses and generally acts like he needs to go away.
I think it might be because the kitten has discovered she is all bark and no bite. Today she was hiding in the closet and the when she came out and he saw him she hissed rolled on her side and tried to hide against the wall and let out an awful noise then ran away.
Is this absolutely bizarre for a cat to scared of a kitten? or is it something else?
Is there anything I can teach the kitten to leave her alone?
