• Introducing a kitten to other cats
    62 replies, posted
When our cat met our kitten, neither realized the other was there until they rounded a corner (Acute sense and all that). Cue hissing and tearing through the house in opposite directions faster than they ever have since. The older one still doesn't really like the kitten, despite him trying to win her over, but she at least tolerates him.
Just leave them alone. Eventually they'll be curious enough and start liking each other. Its what I did with my new kitten and my family's cat. Now their the best of friends.

Make them fight and post the vid.
Put some vanilla on their noses.
I got a kitten last summer, and my older cat absolutely hated having a intruder in her territory, and its stayed that way ever since, really. The older cat chases the younger one sometimes, but for the most part they just stay away from each other. (the kitten constantly trys to sniff the older's tail when she isn't looking though)
Hah, I have 2 female cats and a new male kitten, the he likes to constantly harass them, and my other 2 cats were at first extremely scared, they wouldn't come out of hiding for days, slowly they got more used to him, but still they don't really like him that much, I guess I can't blame them since he's always attacking them.
hug them at the same time :3

Spray your deodorant on all of the cats, and yourself.
Just put the kitten with the cats. They'll either like it or kill it, and if they kill it who cares?
Get a small room, prerably one with a try, bedding and food/water Keep the new cat in the there for a couple of days, and then replace it with the other two cats and leave them there for a couple of days (obviously feeding them and giving them attention) Do this for a couple of weeks, by this time they will have got used to each other's smell and scent. So when they see each other they won't be afraid and at least will know them by smell. TL;DR put the cats in a room with bedding, swap each cats over a couple of days and they'd get used to the smell of each other
We introduced our second cat to our first one by putting both of them behind different sides of a door and just slightly opening it so they could smell and see eachother but not touch. They hissed, obviously, and later on we let them together for real. A lot of growling and hissing but after a while they got used to eachother, and nowadays they're good friends. They tend to sleep right next to eachother, and even lick eachother.

Rig the material of choice on the door of the room, so the older cats can't jump over it. Now, have the kitten stay in the room (with food, water, toys and some caring attention from you, of course), and bring the older cats near it often if possible. The cats can get used to each other through the fencing, with no harm for the little kitty. Kinda complicated, but it works.

Easy. I've always had cats my whole life. Put the new cat in a 'cat carrier' (ie: cage) and place it on the floor, let the other cats come up and sniff the box and whatnot and look at the cat. The old cats know that the new cat is confined, they show dominance in their 'turf' because they are not confined. It all depends on the cat, some cats never like each other, while others are inseperable. My cat Boo hated my grandfather's cat Kitcat. They'd fight constantly (Boo'd win, cause she's black 8D) but Boo and Mellow got along great.
[QUOTE=Fentoozler;18251591]thats way to fucking complicated stick them in a 1x1 foot box together they have no choice but to like eachother[/QUOTE] Like a microwave? /badjoke
Feed the kitty to the cats. Its a good way to get him introduced.

Introduce it on a plate marinated in lemon and don't forget the salt.

Stick them in a ring with forks and knifes. The winner gets lifetime supply of tuna.

Buy a couple of sachets of wet cat food, and smear the kitten with it. Introduce the cat food covered kitten to the other cats, and soon they'll learn to associate the kitten with yummy food. Cats like yummy food, so they'll like the kitten! :downs:

[QUOTE=UberMensch;18258696]This seems like the most helpful reply so far and it makes sense.[/QUOTE] Except for the 'playing kitten noises' part. I already see the older cats thinking "IT'S BLOODY EVERYWHERE!". Just make sure you equally distribute your attention. Always feed them together. Making cats gets used to kittens is not that hard, making two older cats get used to each other is a lot harder.

Added pictures of kitteh in original post.
Put the cat in a box with a radiological isotope that may or may not kill it. If you don't look in the box, the cat is a zombie.
