Yup, my older cat does this with the kitten. Anytime she (the kitten) gets near him (the old man) he will hiss and growl at her. Well, the other day I caught him playing with her!! It has only happened about 5 or 6 times in the 6 months that we've had the kitten, but it's too funny to watch when it does occur. And it usually doesn't last long either.
