is it mean to take 2 kittens when u already have 2 and try to get the new ones a better home please tell me?

Question

the new kittens are only 8 wks old and our other ones are 16wks they wpnt get along. the older ones keep trying to hurt the younger ones and we need to know if finding them a different home will be better or if we should wait and see if they get along

Answer 1

no need to give them away here is what you should do:

Prepare in advance a room for the new kitten; make sure there are food and water as well as a sand box.
When you bring the kitten put him straight in the room. You should leave him there for about two weeks, make sure to go in everyday to play with him.
Each time you leave the room let your cat smell you.
Another thing to do: take two towels rub one on the new kitten and put it under the bowels of the older cat and visa versa.
Re-rub the towels every couple of day.

After two weeks put the kitten in a carrier and take him to the living room let your cat see him and smell him they may both hiss do that for 10 minutes each day add 10 more minutes do that for about two weeks or for when they will stop hissing at each other what ever comes first. To make them feel more at ease give them both cat treats and some cat canned food.

After two weeks let the kitten go free while your at home keep a close eye of them make sure the older one isn’t trying to hurt the new. Once you’re sure the old one won’t hard the new one let the kitten run free.
It will take some more time they might not end up being goof friends.

Answer 2

The older kittens are just playing and usually won't do any harm to the younger ones, but if the younger ones are being hurt I would keep the 2 sets separated until the younger ones get a bit bigger. I rescue cats and kittens and always have a bunch of different ages together, and usually within a few days everybody gets along fine. Just be patient and give them lots of love and toys to play with. Kittens love just a wadded up piece of paper, let them all play together and they will all soon be friends. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

a 16 wk kitten will get along fine with an 8 wk kitten, Just give them a little time. Odds are, the bigger ones are just playing a little too rough for the little ones liking. It will take a couple of weeks, but you shouldn't have problems for long. As a matter of fact, quite soon you should have them chasing each other all over the house and playing

Answer 4

They are all just trying to find their role in the house. Eventually they'll settle into rank and leave each other be. Also, sometimes playing can be mistaken as fighting. Kittens tend to play rough...and make it sound worse (hissing and yelling) than it really is. If you feel better separating them for awhile until they get bigger, go ahead and do so. They will still be able to smell each other, so they won't have to be reintroduced. Best of luck to you! Sounds like you will have many cute moments to enjoy!

Answer 5

They might well be having some issues about who the 'top cat' is in the house. But if you feel like you can't take care of 4 cats- and face it, that is a lot- then it would be better to find a new home for the wee ones, preferably before they get used to your house.

Good luck

Answer 6

Believe me, they will eventually get along. But too many cats
is not so great.
Anyway cats have 9 lives.
The more female cats u have...u will be in cat hotel soon.
Cats are good for one thing and its to keep mice, rats,
and snakes out of your yard. They will give u allergies if they
are in the house.They shed hair and it gets in your lungs.

Answer 7

they will get along eventually they more than likely are just playing it usually calms down after u get them fixed at 6 mos
