I have cats that do exactly the same thing.....my older female gets "tackled" each and every time she walks (runs) through the front door....its kinda like watching your teenage son tackling his grandmother. I m pretty sure the new cat (whom is also fixed) has species recognition issues, and thinks she is a giant mouse....but anyhows the only solution that we have found is that the older brighter cat is mainly an outside cat, and the new(er) cat is usually only an inside cat.....its quite funny to see them...one on each side of the screen door eyeballing each other wishing they were the other cat......otherwise when she is inside......"hello it's football season" yet again.......good luck

The adult cat will view the kitten as an intruder on her territory at first, but don't worry, they will work it out.
The most important thing to remember, is YOU are in charge.
When they start fighting (and believe me, it is the adult fighting, the kitten is just trying to stay alive) stop it immediately by saying "no" or stop in a firm voice.

Well, if the cat is male, there won't be a problem.
Also, to keep the kitten from getting on the other cat's nerves, youshould provide something to drain the kitten's constant energy. That way he'll leave the older cat alone unless she wants to join the fun.

Not a lot! Just let them sort it out. they won't fight to the death or anything.
That is rubbish about males and females. I have an eight year old female and she hates my five month old tom kitten. She growls and swipes at him all the time, and has done so since he was six weeks old. She will eat from the same bowl of food as him though, and she has never injured him. he thinks it is fun and chases her!
You don't need to know how to stop them, what you need to do is allow them to sort it out for themselves. just let them be.

I'm not joking when I say this. Get really sweaty and rub the new can in your armpit. This way your odor will be on the new cat and the old cat will be less inclined to fight the new cat. The old cat will think the new cat is ok because it smells like you

the grown cat and the kitten will work things out..the adult cat will teach the rules to the kitten, so be patient and let them work it out on their own

Two of my cats do this also. They got used to each other in about a month, and sometimes they sleep together.

Make sure they're both fixed. Adding a male to a female is better than adding a girl to a girl. Girls can be so catty..

THEY WILL GET ADJUSTED TO EACH OTHER.. OUR CATS WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING WHEN WE BROUGHT HOME THE NEW ONE..
