Answer 1

OK this is how you introduce a new cat. First put all of its stuff food water litter box in a small room he can not get hurt / in trouble in. Keep her in there until she is about 2-3months. Now to introduce the cats get a cat carrier put the kitten in there (not for too long the cat will have to go to the bathroom etc) let the older cat come in and look at it. I have a feeling the older cat is trying to establish its dominance over the new cat. If you do it this way the older cat can do it by hissing . They will get used to each other sooner of later. You need to be the judge if you think the older cat will hurt the younger one keep them separate. I have used this method for many cats and it always works.

Answer 2

What is the matter with you? That kitten is a helpless baby. Separate the two cats! That should be obvious.

It will take time for him to accept the new arrival. Until she can be perfectly safe, it will be necessary to keep them apart. Gradually introduce them to one another when YOU ARE PRESENT. Do NOT leave them unattended.

Yes, this will require a little more effort on your part, but pet ownership also requires responsible behavior on the part of the owner.

Answer 3

Keep them separated when you are not around to supervise. When you are around and he tries this, spray him with water. It will teach him not to try "humping" her. The spray bottle method is, in my opinion, the best training tool for cats.

I'm also curious as to if Tiger has been neutered? If not, getting him fixed should also help.

Answer 4

Stop him. Get a squirt gun and shoot him with water when he tries. He will get the message..
