ok i bring home the new kitty in 2 weeks, how to introduce her to the existing queen kitty?

Question

how do i get these two to like eachother?

we have a 12 yr old, and i just adopted a 2 yr old both females, spayed, with claws

Answer 1

First couple of weeks keep them apart, but gradually let them smell each other's stuff and then let them see each other from a distance for a few days, and then let them smell each other. Expect the older one to hiss at first, and the small one to make the first step. Never leave them alone together until you are sure they get along. The old one will probably beat the kitten up for a few days, to establish her domination, but as long as the kitten is submissive to her, she willprobably accept it.

Answer 2

Female cats are less territorial than males, so they usually don't mind having a new kitten in the house, especially if there are already multiple cats in the house. I suggest just putting the new kitten down on the floor, and seeing how the cats react to him. If they start sniffing and licking him without hissing or acting agressive, then you should have a pretty easy time of integrating him into the family. If they do act frightened or agressive, then you're going to have to keep them seperated for a little while. Let the kitten use the food bowls and litterbox while the other cats aren't around, and hopefully the other cats will eventually get used to his scent and not mind him so much.

Answer 3

The queen is jealous, leave them be, they will work it out....i brought home a kitten with a 1 1/2 yr old very finicky calico, she batter her a few times, now they are the best of friends....don't worry, they will work things out in their own cat ways -)

Answer 4

they probably wont get along the first week.My female was 2 when i brought home a baby,She hid under the bed the first week.It will take time for them to get use to each other.

Answer 5

Let them smell each other. Let them get used to each other. Give it a few weeks. Don't be in a hurry.
