Okay so I rescued 2 kittens 3 weeks ago, everything was going great until about a week ago, the kittens started rlto fight with each other then both fight with my adult cat to the point that my adult cat's eye is scratched, so now I'm gonna take him to the vet on Monday, I'm pretty much Fed up.

I'm rehoming one kitten, my plan was to keep them both but I can't deal with it, I'm afraid to leave them alone and come home to find one dead, not to mention vet bills because of the eye of my adult boy.

I don't know what to do if things don't change...

Did you do introductions for all the cats to meet?  This can take from a few days to weeks to months depending on the temperament of the cats.  Here are some articles and a video on cat to cat introductions.  I do believe if you follow the guidelines you can restore peace.

Yes I did, the weird thing is that they get along when they eat or sleep, cause they all sleep together but once awake it's a terror in my house. At first I thought because they are kittens they have tons of energy and yes they do, but I don't get why the two brothers fight so much, I mean they both were rescued together, from the same mom.... They will be okay for 10 mins but then the really bad wrestling starts, I also noticed one of the kittens is more aggressive than the other one, and he's the one who attacks my adult boy.

The kittens are 12 weeks old so I don't know...

Are they fighting or playing? Kittens can be pretty rough with their play.

Hi, so I had to give one brother to my sister and I kept the other brother, but he is still very hyper and always biting my older cat, I play with him and everything but after we are done playing he goes and bites my other cat's tail. My older cat seems very frustrated with the kitten.

On the 25th he has a vet apt to be neuter so I don't know if that will help..

Well my older cat doesn't do anything about it, he just have a very unhappy face all the time. I feel sad for him, I always try to teach the little one to be nice but he is very wild lol. I'm even afraid to put up my Xmas tree because I know it will be destroy....
