I had two older cats. One is a female Siamese (fixed) who is eight years old, and the other is a male of unknown age as he just walked in our house one day. A few weeks ago I brought home a seven week old kitten.
The older male first ignored the kitten completely but has been more accepting. My Siamese hates the new kitten. She is very upset with the kitten. I make sure that I give her plenty of attention, but that isn't helping. It has been a few weeks and the kitten has made it herself very much at home but I am worried about the older cat hurting her. Usually my Siamese just hisses at my kitten and heads for the door so she can go outside and get away from her.
However last night she darted after the kitten. Another problem is that the kitten is not afraid and tries to follow her everywhere when she sees her. What do I do so that my older cat can accept the new kitten?

The older cat is very is not excepting the younger. They may be both female. If they are not of the same family there is the term cat fight. Pay more attention to the older cat since she sees the younger as a rival. I have raised cats for 50 years. Bringing in a younger rival is always a problem with the older cats. Feed them in different bowls. Once the older cat sees that she doesn't loose your attention things should be ok.
