I have a new kitty and a old cat when I was 8 years old. I dont know if they got used to each other yet , The little kitten is a boy and his name is Little JJ. He want's to play with my older cat who is a girl her name is coco . It seems Little JJ want's to play and follow coco around , but she just hisses and swats him . I'm scared she will hurt him. What can I do to make them used to each other. I also my mom has a little dog and Little JJ wont stop hissing at my mom's dog and stop chasing him . What can I do? Please help.

You have to wait it out. Eventually the kitten will mellow and the older cat may not find it so annoying. The kitten will eventually learn that the dog is a family member and swearing (hissing) at family is rude.
You might consider another kitten for yours to play with, but it seems like you have a lot of pets as it is. Get the kitten lots of toys and try to distract most of it's rambunctious energy away from the other pets.

Coco will not hurt him, she's just letting him know she's boss. She will eventually let him get close and then they will be best friends as far as the dog, he's making sure he's the one chasing and not the dog chasing him. They are natural enemies and if the dog runs from JJ he's already got the dog where he wants him.

this would variety broadly as each and each cat has its very own character. Ive had some cats by no potential truly slot in and others that have been comfortable with a clean cat in a week or so. be optimistic to furnish the common cat plenty or affection and dont scold it too complicated for attempting to maintain its place contained in the homestead because of the fact the only cat. with any luck time will help out. in case you reside the place there's a Petsmart shop you would be able to ask somebody there in the event that they comprehend the thank you to assist this occasion. additionally i continuously bathed the hot kitten so it lost a number of its different cat fragrance.

i think for the older and younger cat you should put them to get her in a room alone and every few minutes check on them and if they are still not getting along after about 3 weeks then try getting a friend over and slowly introduce them to each other u hold one cat and Ur friend holds the other and slowly walk towards each other with the cats in front of u and see what they do and every time one of them hisses or swings a paw at one another say no and every time the do get along give them a treat.

Sometimes an older cat not liking a younger cat is based on smell. "it smells weird therefor I do not like it.." Try wiping both cats down with a dryer sheet. This way they both smell the same. I did this with my 2 kitties and now they are good friends
