Also, give the older cat lots of love any time the new kitten is around. If you can associate the new cat with pettins and love, it may make the transition easier.

I was very concerned about my 16 year old neutered male when I got Mozart, but Tinkerbell stunned me beyond my wildest imagination. He still gets cranky when the kitten attacks, but he actually seems to like the new baby! I've caught him licking the kitten before, and then, well, nothing but to show you.



Good luck. It'll take time, and don't force them together. Don't get onto your older cat when they get angry, just talk gently, and pet, show them that good things happen when the new one is around.
