I brought home a new kitten (11 weeks old) about 2 weeks ago. My 2 sons are attached already. My 10 yr old female cat has hissed and growled since we walked in the door with her. We tried the slow approach and kept the kitten in a separate room, short outings in the house without the other car, exchanged towels with each scent etc....for about 10 days. The older cat was somewhat curious but saw the kitten as more of a pest I think. Now my sweet older cat is acting strange, growling and licking her lips. She usually drinks out of the sink and she will not go near it. Freaks when I put her up there. About the same with food. I gave her favorite and she still refuses. Her eyes look clear but she seems a lot lazier than usual starting this afternoon. I will be calling the vet in the am. But until then, any suggestions?
