Hi
Recently my girlfriend and I got a kitten. We have had the kitten for 5 days or so and it is adjusting very well. We were also asked to take a 6yr old cat from some friends as they could no longer keep it.
The 6yr old cat is a great people cat and was just walking around sniffing things until he we brought the kitten down to meet him. Since then he has been very hostile and will try to swat us when we walk by(he will chase me and swat me). He is also growling and hissing. Will this go away or is it a lost cause. It has only been 12 hours or so so I still have hope. What should I do.
I have been thus far just bringing his food to him where ever he is and have tried some treats(I believe he ate one of the treats but I didn't see him do this). I even put out some milk which I know is a no no but I know that cats do like it.
Thanks for any help you guys have.
