I had this very same problem when I brought two new kittens into the house with my cat Lilli, she is not one to like anyone. It took a lot of time and the three of them actually get along very nicely now, your older cat will grow accustomed to the new one but it does take a lof time and patience on everyones part. It isn't easy, the best thing to do is try to seperate them in the house, make a spot for your older one and then one for the younger one elsewhere and try to convince the younger one to hang out in that area.
Good Luck, it does get better!

Your question doen't explain what exactly your young male is bothering the older female about.
Your question really isn't clearly stated so I'm going to have to guess on this.
It sounds an awful lot like your kitten wants to play. I've got cats now and have had for years. It sounds a little bit that your older cat might be a little jealous of your kitten.That's normal.Try paying her more attention.
Just about all types of pets go through these stages when new pets are introduced into a new household.
Try putting down a small box, or pen, that's barely big enough for your older cat to get into where your little, younger guy can't get at her so easily. That might help.
If your little guy is a real pain in the ***, pen him. Not for to long, just for a couple of hours to give your female a break.
If she's like most females she might even start looking for him if he's locked up. Mine have done that repeatedly. It's like all of a sudden they than become the kittens mother.
If she's just growling or hissing at him just do your best to ignore it. Even if she's smacking him a little, apparently she's not hurting him enough to stop him. It should eventually wear itself out.
Best advice, lavish as much attention on your older female so she doesn't feel threatened by your new adoptee and other than that try ignoring it, as long as it isn't actually violent( which in my experience would be very unusal) as much as possible.

I had the same issue with a 15 year old cat and a kitten. Unfortunately, that is the nature of a kitten. They want to play 24-7. The kitten is now a year old and he is finally calming down. It takes time for them to grow out of it.
You can try playing more with kitten and giving him another outlet for his energy. The older cat may like it more than you think. My older cat got a little energized by the kitten, but grew tired of the play after a while....and let him know it.
Bottom line, the older cat will just have to kick a little butt if she wants to be left alone. Unless the kitten is hurting the older cat, I would just let them work it out.

If it's a new kitten, then just let them be. Let them kill each other until their friends. You do need to put some what of an eye on them though. If it's a kitten that's been their more than a month then you should talk with your vet. It's also a good idea to try to teach the younger one to calm down. You know what they say. Kittens will be kittens.
Bye the way, your the first person I gave an answer to.
Congrats!

get male kitten fixed. After that, he may still pick fights, but will gradually stop as he matures. He is just a kitten, and is still learning. He will eventually learn to stop. Big cat knows this, so lets him get away with it. But soon big cat will say STOP, and swat him away. Then little kitten will stop. It is normal. This may take quite awhile, maybe a year. But eventually they will at least get along well enough to stay in the same house.
Just fix and wait. Not much else you can do. Nature will take care of the problem, when kitty grow up. Don't worry. It's normal.

Hopefully your old lady cat will get sick of him and give him a good swat and put him in his place. If she goes after him, I would let her, so that he learns a lesson and will maybe leave her alone in the future.

Just leave them alone and your old cat will take care of it her self. She will put him in his place for you. Dont punish her if she swats him or scratches him sounds like thats the only thing that will work.

He's rambunctious and full of energy, a kitten. He should figure out soon that doing that is not a good idea, or just get bored of it.

maybe you should separate the two for awhile. If that does not work call the vet and ask him for advice
