i need some advice , I have a 13 week old female kitten , on Sunday I decided to get her a play mate I thought I was buying a 8 week old male who was crying out all the time & would only settle when I lay him on my lap but after a trip to the vets it turns out he's only 5 weeks old .The first 2 days the female kitten just hissed & growled she wouldn't let him play with any toys use the litter tray even though I'd brought him his own the poor little thing would freeze in the middle of the floor & cry out shaking so I started to tell her off with a loud clap or a smack on the bum I even tired a spray bottle but nothing worked s,I thought she's just marking what's her & making sure he knows she's the alpha . However today the hissing had pretty much stopped & he seems a lot more confidant but now she keeps jumping on his back & biting scratching him & hissing right in his ear he is now trying to stand up to her his the odd his or swat back & I though it was time I left them to just make friends so to speak. He is so small she's 3x the size of him so when she jumps on his back he's stuck on the ground she bites his ears legs & tail while he is screaming out making a howling noise sometimes he will just get back him & follow after her so I assume his okay but other times she continues to jump on his back & the howling gets louder she won't stop until I clap or pick him up its gotten to the point were my 6 yr old daughter has been in floods of tears cause of the noises hes making , It's not a non stop thing she will now let him eat & doesn't try to steal his food or stop him using the litter tray she even lets him sleep sometimes on her lap as you can see in my picture . I'm just wondering if anybody else has had this before & is she trying to hurt him or just simply playing & his a little to small to match her ? They are only together when supervised please help me i don't know wether it was a good idea to bring in a second cat ?
