Our normally very well behaved and loved 9 yr old cat HATES our new 10 week old kitten.
The older cat is mostly a indoor cat but also is allowed free range outside when she wants to go. When she is out side she almost always brings us home a "gift" of another animal she has killed, from mice to small rabbits. She is most definitely a hunter.
We have never had any other pets since having her. She is fixed (in case that matters).
We got a 10 week old male kitten Labor Day and she wants to kill it.
She sneaks up on it and does everything she can to get to it and the 1 time she did get to it she went right for its throat. Thankfully I was right there and got her off him with no damage done.
We have had 4 new born (human lol) in our family since we got our older cat and she has never behaved badly to them, so we thought we would be OK with a new born kitten.
What do we do???????
