new kitten
Yesterday I got a new kitten. I already have one cat, female, she had a litter about 4 years ago (spayed now)and lived with one of her kittens for 3 years. (always got along fine)she was an awesome mom. I know it is natural for her to be territorial with this new kitten, but she is growling and hissing all day. just wondering how long you think it will take her to warm up to the new kitten,male, and anything i can do to speed up the process

I dont really understand your question--so Ill answer both ways it could be asked.
If you meant the Female wouldnt let anybody near the kitten:
You just need to slowly get closer to the female. When my female had kittens, she let me play with them and such right away because she trusted me. But my friends had to slowly get closer to the cats. What I had them do for the first week was just sit in my room and watch. I would talk and interact with the friend so my cat (female named Saint) would trust her because I did. the 2nd week I had her start calling the cat over, and reaching her hand to saint's nose. this seemed to work because by the third week Saint allowed my friend to touch the kittens and interact.
If you meant your female is hissing AT the kitten:
You need to basically do the same thing, the kitten being the friend. The kitten just needs to be in the same room ad your female for a week or so, might take longer tho. When I kept the kitten my Saint had, My older male cat Thunder hated his guts. the kitten(foggy) would jump all over thunder and play with him, and by doing this they started to get along better. it has almost been 2 years and they act completely normal together now. Thunder is 117 years old!!

Hey, my name is Faith42 and I think I can help you
My cat Gizmoe he moved in a year ago and my other
cat that lived with my family and I for ever was so
jealouse she didn't stay in the same room as Gizmoe!
It took about 4 weeks or half of a month intil
they got along. You can't realy do much to speed up
the process they have to get along on there own!
I hope I helped
Faith42:)

my cat STILL makes my older cat hiss.. shes three and my odler cat is 13. my younger will jump over her and try to play... it still gets her to hiss and growl. but they are also the best of friends and sleep together. dont interfere..the older cat needs to let the kitten know that it is domonant in the house. unless you see it get out of control attack the kitten.. it should be okay.. and im sorry i have no idea how to speed it up cause my cats still get irritaed with eachother.
