We've followed all of the proper procedures (i.e. keeping them apart for a few days, letting them get used to each other's smell, supervising their encounters and letting the encounters get more prolonged as the days went by, etc.). The first few times the older kitten hissed a lot. Now, he doesn't hiss or growl, but he just chases the little one, traps him into a corner, pins him down, and bites his neck or stomach. The little one doesn't seem *that* upset--he only cried a few times, and we separated them, but I'm still concerned he'll get hurt. Is this normal? What, if anything, can we do differently? How do we know when they are "ready" to be alone together?
