Well When I got new kittens, we had a 3 year old cat. The older cat was VERY jealous at first, he wouldn't go outside he would hiss at the other cats and be angry with us. However, cats do get over things. So just be sure and show your old cat LOTS of extra love to show it that you love it still, and try and not smother the new cats with kisses in front of it. Also, kittens love pretty much anything they come in contact with as long as u spend time with it, it'll love u

Just like children, your kitten has known no other human parent and you will have all its love and affection.
Your older cat is the one who will need some special attention at this time. Put baby to bed once in a while and just have special time with the older cat. Do whatever you have always liked to do together, snuggling in front of the TV, sleeping beside you in the bed, brushing and combing.
The kitten will demand all your attention if you let it. They are very irresistible and need to be separated from you and the other cat at least some of time.

With a kitten that young, I recommend keeping it in your bedroom for a few weeks. Let her get used to the surroundings and bond with you before introducing her to the other cat.
Once she and you are comfortable with the relationship then begin allowing the older cat into the room with supervised interactions to see how they do together. Chances are the kitten will be estatic to have a new playmate and the older cat with probably tolerate the kitten.
Make sure to continue giving the older cat one on one attention from you to avoid making her feel ignored.

4.5 weeks is way to young to be away from mom cat. Please return her to her mom and litter mates if possible. She needs to stay away from the other cat until she has been to a vet.
