hi im new to the forum i got a cat on monday night a 8 week old kitten who seems quite smaller than average, on tuesday my brother turned up with another 10 week old cat forgot to tell him i had fetched one .But i said i would home her well she is agressive toward the smaller cat hisses and bites me and my husband when she isnt hiding i just dont no what i can do with her tryed feeding her by hand,she wont let me approach her in any way.Ihave been sitting with her on the floor trying to play with various toys but she wont have anything to do with any of us its like worldwar 3 can anyone help in anyway i dont want to rehome her thats not an option thank u in advance

Hi, these are young kitts who in a short period(allbeit for the best for them)have had a lot of big changes in theior short lives,so give them time to check out their new environments and get used to the new smells etc,show them where their food/water and toilet is and sit back and observe,as usually the best way to make friends with a cat is ignore them and let them come to you which in time they will..not always to sit on your lap but sometimes just to say right okay you can touch me nowShe is just probably a bit anxious as is he and they're picking up on each others nervousness and yours,bit of time i'm sure they'll be fine,for now keep their food bowls away from each other just til things calm down

Hi and welcome

I think its just going to take time to be honest - do you know anything of these two kittens backgrounds? Are they pedigree or moggies?

I would start (if you can) by keeping them apart, and work on gradually introducing them - Baby gates etc are a good example.

Try not to favour one cat over the other (not saying you are but it can happen).

They are both very young so i dont think it will take too long to introduce them. I had a 5 month old kitten and introduced two 4 month old boy kittens and after about a week they got on fine.

Are they both girls by the way? I think introducing girls can be harder as they are very territorial

yes there both girls the littlest one is brilliant have no problems at all with her she fitted straight in like shes always been here,i no its only been a short time but the second kittens behaviour is that of a wild cat it hasnt just been since shes been here i dont think she has been socialised very well at all,when my brother collected her he was scratched and bitten the lady said that she was just nervous,there not pedigree cats. They do have seperate feeding bowls just want her to feel secure i guess as she has a forever home here with us no matter how long it takes

Good on you and god bless you for being so compassionate and understanding,sounds like time is the key,she'll soon realise that her new slaves are great to be with,please do keep us updated and wishing you all the very best from here on in
