Cat problem

Hello everyone!

My uncle brought home a 3mos old kitten which he is very cute and small. Joey gets all the attention from them. I think Mickey is feeling left out, he wants to be the top cat. Well Molly doesn't bother with him and she doesn't like Joey playing with her. Mickey was ok with the kitten at first but now he doesn't seem to want the little guy around. He seem really depressed now, eats less food then before, runs away from them now and doesn't play when the kitten is around. Mickey was very hyper and use to eat like a pig before Joey came along. Should they be concern for Mickey or do you think he is jealous of the kitten. Please let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

I think the kitty that was "left out" should get some TLC. Otherwise behavior problems may result!

First thing you should've done was to put the kitten in a room by himself for a while, to help him get acclamated. Wipe him down with an old towel and let the older cats get a wiff. Do the same with the kitten. After a while, put baby gates up in the doorway, one on top of the other. How long have you had him? The kitten is still in his "kitten" stage. Once he gets neutered, he'll surely calm down. It'll take time between the kitten and the older cat to get used to each other. Just be patient.
