My 3 month old has been living with me for 6 weeks, is it too wait to introduce another kitten?

Just let them be.Trust me they would never seriously hurt each other.Sometimes one of them wants to play whereas the other one doesn't.Then there comes the fight.If they both agree to play then they just play.That is the way it happens.You may like to supervise them for a while since 7 weeks old cat is too young to be left alone all the time.They are going to be just fine...

They'll get used to each other on their own, both are young enough to be ok. If they were several years old each, then it may be a harder problem but with these ages it won't take long to smooth out.
A 'fight' involves fur tufts left on the floor, some blood from a bite, and two cats screaming at the top of their lungs. Anything else is play or a squabble.

They are not playing. They are displaying boundaries and using tactics of fright to threaten the other one. Dont worry about it, all kittens and even grown cats do this. They will eventually get use to each other. Give a few months. It took mine awhile to get us to eachother, they didn't get along until they both were the same size.

reckoning on their age youthful kittens will play combat and older kittens will do a mixture of the two. My cats are a pair of million twelve months each and each and that they nevertheless playfight. Somtimes it gets out of hand however and we would desire to consistently destroy them up. lol I rather have a woman and male to the two spayed and netuered. Wach your kittens thog

When my cat had kittens they hissed and fought with each other ALL the time and they're brothers and sisters.
Unless there's blood, it really looks like they're hurting each other, or when you go over there and try to separate them you are unable to, they're fine.
They are just playing and being territorial. Don't worry about it.

Cat/kitten play can look and sound ferocious, but as long as there are no actual injuries or blood, then it is just play.

they are getting to know each other..they are fighting when there is contact and fur flying and its hard to get a grip on one of them to tear them apart. Keep them apart for a few days, then open thier area to each other a little each day..

see if the are actually scratching each check and see ith their claws are out if so try spraying them with a spray bottle if they are fighting. this happened before to me and the spray bottle theme worked.

listen for the hissing. they will play fight probably most of the time but it's bound to step into some real fight once in a while.
