Now we have a female black cat and she absolutey can't stand any other animals, all she wants to do is kill them. But we ended up getting a male kitten. At first she was terrible, growling, hissing and creeping up on the kitten. She'd even smack the kitten with her paws! The best thing to do is keep them seperate for a while, they will adventually start to smell eachother. It wasn't long before the kitten started to chase our cat off and jump all over her, out cat began to play back. She wasn't keen but began to tolerate it. I think once they realise the new addition is staying put they will learn to get along!
Trust me, it takes time but they will be okay! Just keep a good eye on them.

Coco is jealous of the new cat who she sees as an intruder, and possibly feels that you have replaced her with Casper. Female cats are frequently more territorial than males. The spaying and neutering will not necessarily have much of an effect. You don't say how old the cats are, but especially since Coco has had a litter, she feels that Casper is invading her home. I'm sorry I can't give you any better advice, but that's the situation. It may be that Coco will settle down after a while, or it may be that they will never get along. The best you do is to make sure that they each get time with you alone, and especially spoil Coco - extra playtime and cuddles, maybe some special treats that Casper doesn't get - and see if she begins to feel comfortable again. Also check with your vet to see if there's anything else they suggest. Best wishes to you.

it may be the way the new kitty was introduced. Cats are VERY territorial and just bringing the cat into the house may have caused the sudden change in disposition of new cats in coco. Maybe separate the two for a while (so as they can't even know each other is there) if possible so that you can reintroduce Casper in a more "humble" manner. If this does not work then you may want to simply scold coco so as to show her that you will not let Casper be terrorized. If you choose this however, make sure that coco knows that you still love her but that she is simply doing wrong. In my experience, animals (cats especially) can be very reproachful of continuous scolding.

I have two cats that just don't like the smell of the other one. My vet says it happens sometimes. I have found that I keep the two of them separate as much as I can and it is ok. That means 2 litter pans, 2 sets of food dishes, etc. My vet also said that sometimes the cats seemingly get used to each other after some time, so keep the faith and have patience.

Cats can be very territorial. Coco may see the new cat as a threat to her turf and especially her litter. There's no guarantee she will accept the new cat at home even if she's fine with other cats outside.

I would persevere. I introduced a new stray to my two boys in November. My eldest (Kaplan) wasn't bothered, but my other boy (Pamuk) really got the hump. Hissing and growling etc., etc., (All the cats have been done).
It took about a month, but now things have calmed down. Pamuk treats the new one with indifference, whilst Kaplan has decided she is a good pal.
I try to treat them all the same. I used to shout at Pamuk, but it made no difference. I have left them all to get on with it, and thankfully they have.
Good luck, and don't give up.

Casper is obviously not bothered by Coco's spitting and snarling. If left to their own devices, cats will sort out their differences and learn to live together.
Coco will settle eventually as long as she is allowed to do so.

My mom told me when i adopted another cat that my boy Gizmo will either love or hate another cat. And it took approximately 2 weeks with Gizmo hissing and spitting and hiding under beds and now they absolutely love each other. They sleep next to each other, they wash each other, they wouldn't be able to live without each other. Give them some time they will come around.

They will learn to tolerate each other, but they are both quite young so they will most likly become friends. Just give it time.
I got over it by giving my first cat special treats by hand when the other wasn't around

Possibly. It depends on how territorial the cats are. Sometimes time will allow them to get on better and sometimes they will remain enemies!
