Introducing a kitten to an adult cat

[tikeyas_mom]

Thanks for the input..
We don't have a spare room, BUT I will just use the bathroom as the "spare room".. hopefully my son wont leave the door open.. If that fails I will put new kitten in our bedroom and hopefully Raven will adjust. New kitten is really used to cats, because my brother has three... all unrelated, so I think it'll more so be Raven with the "issue".. I'm sure she will get over it tho, she was a mama before so maybe the instinct to snuggle the baby will kick in

I wouldn't worry too much if your son leaves the bathroom door open. One of them will probably just hide, possibly the older cat.

First order of business - FELIWAY SPRAY!!!! Spray the room. Leave the carrier in the middle so they can both see and smell each other. Wipe towels down, one for each to smell. There will be hissing. That's normal. Put new kitty in bathroom. They'll smell each other under the door and play footsy.

I have two baby gates I use stacked in the doorway. Eventually, you just take down the gates, keep a spray bottle of water and a spray can of Feliway handy AT ALL TIMES!!!! As long as there's no blood shed, just let them work it out. Kittens are far easier to incorporate into a household than two older cats.

Always feed them together, as it will remind them of a happy experience. Food is a wonderful motivator. That's what brought out Lucy and Puff.
