Sad kittah Anonymous
Hey /an/

My family recently adopted a tiny gray kitten with a bit of a sob-story. She's probably not even 9 weeks old, they found her wandering alone by a factory, ect.

Anyway, we adopted her and took her home, expecting our 9month old calico to really warm up to her and be a great playmate. The calico likes playing with the dogs, so no reason for her not to warm to another cat right?
Turns out the calico is actually quite angry at us for adopting this ball of grey. She'll bat at the kitten, and show her teeth.

Anything we can do for this ball of fluffy sadness? Will they get along in the future? This kitten could really use a playmate...

Something else that link didn't mention. In a case like this, you want to be paying as little attention as possible to the new kitten for awhile, even if it's the cutest little bastard on the planet.

New kittens are adaptable. If they don't get enough attention from you, they will go try to pal up with your other cat. The same is not true in reverse - your cat has gotten used to a nice predictable home routine, and the more attention this little crap gets that she does not, the more intruded upon she'll feel, and the more hostile she'll be towards the kitten.

Paying most of your attention to the older cat will reassure it that its place is safe, and the newcomer isn't a threat. Once they start getting along, it'll be clear to play and snuggle with the kitten more.
