A few days ago I found a kitten maybe 3 months old in our weeds. We decided to keep her, but now my 8yr old female wants nothing to do with her. She is always hissing and acting like she wants to kill her. I keep the kitten in our bedroom. How can I get the older cat to accept her?

This is pretty typical behavior. It will take time for them to develop a relationship. Sometimes they just learn to tolerate each other. There will be many good posts on this issue on this website. If you get "My Cat From Hell" on animal planet, he deals with it a lot...and even makes you laugh about it. I do not let my cats act continually aggressive with one another. A few tiffs are to be expected, but if it gets serious I keep a squirt gun or spray bottle handy for the perps. When they see the squirt bottle come out they all head for the hills. Bless you for taking in a lost kitten.
