Two kittens,one 8 weeks(boy), One @10 weeks(girl).When we brouight him home tonight, she almost immediatley started to, what looked like,beat the the livin' crap out of him. Is this normal , I mean, shes got him cornered behind the toilet. He's pinned up against the litter box and won't fight back.Is she big enough to cause any real damage or does he just have get use to it?I suppose he'll get big enough soon enough to return the favor. Anybody have any thoughts?

Hi Andy
Welcome to Pet Talk!
When the big kitten has the little kitten cornered, does she have her ears pinned back and is she growling and hissing? Is her fur all puffy? This will help others understand if the little kitten may have a problem. (This was why I was worried in my own thread earlier; they were exhibiting anger behavior.)
Also, I'm an adoption counselor for a shelter and we recommend keeping new cats separate for a little while. Were they first separated a while so they could get used to the idea of each other?
Cats International has an article on cat introductions:

Hopefully, some of the other pet talkers with more kitten experience can help you out with your specific question.
Good luck
