Hello!
I‘ve been reading up alot recently on this site since I got two cats now (I‘ve always only had one cat in my life before) and there has been so much new experience for me.
My older cat is a Persian-Siamese crossbreed, he‘s 2.5 years old and still very playful. My new kitten is a female scottish fold, she is almost 5 months old now and been with us for 3 weeks. She is very affectionate and likes playing with toys. I introduced them slowly and they‘re ok with each other in general, eat together, nose bump each other. Sometimes they start chasing each other but it never lasts very long. Once it gets physical is where my problem starts. My older cat reaaaally wants to play with her. But she always hisses and growls once they do rough play. I‘ve been watching them and he‘s very patient with her and backs off but I can also see how my cat is getting frustrated over it (sometimes he just cries and cries after in another room because he really wants to play with her).
I usually see this happen the other way around where the kitten is bugging the adult cat, but in my household it‘s the complete opposite. Did anyone ever encounter this problem? I‘d be grateful for any advice on what to do with them.
