New Kitten And Old Kitten Having Problems

[cassideejustine]

We have a 4 month old male kitten, who gets along very well with our two pits. So we decided it would be a good idea to get him a little playmate. Today we got a kitten about 10 weeks, female they didn't like each other, so we are keeping them separated. But the reason for the post is that the male kitten is suddenly aggressive towards me and my fiance. We don't know what to do??

First, I'd like to welcome you to TCS! Second, this is a perplexing and interesting situation. I would recommend reading some of the Articles on the forum which I hope you find helpful:

We would love to see a pic or two of your kitten(s) and two pits. Please feel free to post one here: Fur Pictures and Videos Only!

Its just day one and your resident kitten is stressed and scared by the sight and smell of the new kitten. And a scared, stressed kitten is going to lash out at whoever comes near him. With the newcomer confined he will probably settle down pretty quickly. Give him a couple of days and he will likely be back to his old self.

Thank you for the pics, I especially love the first one with Echo and his two canine friends - so adorable! Your newest fur baby Ember is precious. Glad to hear Echo is slowly but surely coming around.
