I am trying to introduce two 4-month old kittens to my resident cats: 1-year old mother and 5-month old daughter. I isolated new kittens for a week, and did the towel trick with scent, switch rooms for them, and put up a gate for them to meet face to face. Now it's the 9th day, and the resident cats are still hissing and trying to hit the kittens any chance they get. I tried to put them in the same room for the second time now, and 10 minutes into it the resident cat start hissing and slapping the kittens, and the kittens are very frighten.
Should I keep trying?
Can anyone who had tried this before tell me how long it took?
And how long should I keep them in the same room per day?
If they start fighting, should I "observe" or should I stop them???
Ah.... breaks my heart =(
