Hello There,

There is an existing cat in the household. She is a elderly female cat about 15

years old. It was decided that a second cat (Kitten) should be acquired. The kitten is a female about 9 weeks old. It was hoped that the older cat would welcome the new addition to that feline household. While the older cat doesn't openly attack the kitten it does have very little patience with the kitten. And

INSISTS that the kitten respects her personal space which seems to be about 8 inches. But the kitten (Being a kitten) has a hard time doing that.

It should be noted that the older cat doesn't have any front claws. Which limits the damage when she decides to give the kitten a slap upside the head. It is hoped that in time the older cat gets to be friends with the kitten or at

least tolerates/ignores the kitten. But I imagine only time will tell.

The kitten also seems to have a appetite for trying to eat toes. <g> She has confirmed the existence of her claws and her teeth on numerous occasions. For me it hasn't been as much an issue as I have limited feeling in my legs and feet. The scratches show up but I just don't feel them.

Kittens are so great :) Did you pick a name for her yet? What color is she?

Take care,

Kittens are so great :)

Yes they are. I get a chuckle out of the look that the older (Pandora) cat gives the kitten. As is 'Like really, you little brat?'

Did you pick a name for her yet?

I suggested the name "Dammit". But I fear that I will be vetoed. <g>

What color is she?

White with black splotches.

I have already realized that it's better to NOT be wearing shorts when she decides to suddenly climb up my leg. <g>

Lol... That's better than the look the older cat could have given her :)

Did you pick a name for her yet?

I suggested the name "Dammit". But I fear that I will be vetoed. <g>

haha :)

What color is she?

White with black splotches.

How about "American Cat", America for short hehe.. those colors are so typical.

We had one similarly colored once, but under the nose there was what appeared to be a small mustache. So I named that boy Pete.

I have already realized that it's better to NOT be wearing shorts when she decides to suddenly climb up my leg. <g>

hahahahaha :)

Take care,

I think that's just a time issue as well. They will get used to each other (hopefully)
