Just keep them apart - simple as that; this is fairly standard behaviour in both cats and dogs - especially when they're that young!

I've seen that before with 2 female cats. It's pretty normal. No, it doesn't mean that the kitten is a "lesbian" that's just how they act. Dogs will try to hump human arms and legs - what does that make them????

The first question might be...are you sure she's a female? It's an oft mistake with kittens... I've had lots of cats, and never seen a female do this, although female puppies often have this behavior when their hormones are raging during their gangly teenage phase. If you're sure your kitten is a female, then this is probably just sexual confusion during her development...it won't last forever.

She probably saw an older cat do it and is emulating the behavior of the older cat. Among animals same sex mounting is not so much a pleasure thing as much as it's about control and establishing their place in the pecking order.

All cats are one to there own. They will never take the blindest bit of notice of you. Are you absolutely certain its a girl? sounds silly but with animals it can be very easy to mix them up.
You will just have to wait and see whether it grows out of it I think. Maybe ts just a lesbian lol.

Given her age it sounds more like pouncing (predatory play) than mating behavior. That said, mounting behavior can be induced in many female mammals by pheromones - in fact, this is how farmers detect estrus in cows. See if it goes away after the adult cat is spayed.

She's just confused. Leave them to it and they'll soon sort it out between themselves.
Hope this helps

She is just immature - the other cats will sort her out to it!
