How do you get two kittens to get along?
I just gave my close friend my 2-month-old kitten named MOOMOO because she wanted him. The problem is, she already have a 4-month-old kitten named BUTTERS that she’s been having for about a month or two.
I gave MOOMOO to her yesterday and she is wondering how she can get BUTTERS to like MOOMOO. Butters is the hostile one. Moomoo seems very okay with him.
Butters haven’t attacked Moomoo yet but my friend have to keep them in seperate rooms and she don’t want to keep doing that. Butters would hiss all the time and when he smells Moomoo’s scent on my friend, he would hiss at her too.
I didnt say keep them seperate, I just said give them seperate spaces so they can go to the litter box without worrying about each other… and dont leave them alone with each other until you are sure they will be fine… Again… if they have enough space from each other to retreat to they should be fine… just keep an eye on them and dont force them to be together if they dont want to…
Generally the cat that lives there will be more hostile (this is something that is invading his space…) they are young so chances are they will be fine. Just introduce them slowly. Give them seperate areas (litter boxes, sleeping spaces etc) till they get used to each other. When I tried this, my vet suggested putting the new one in an enclosed cage or something so the older cat can approach him and just give them a couple of minutes to smell each other and what not. Over time increase contact but never leave them alone together until you’re completely sure they get along.
Eventually Butters will get used to the other kitten. It takes a little time, but if they are kept separate, they’ll never learn to get along. Allow them to get close to each other, they might hiss and paw at each other, but usually the more agressive cat ends up just walking away.
Butters needs to learn that MooMoo is there to stay.
This is normal cat behaviour. All my cats displayed it as well, and I have 5 in the house right now.
Keeping them separate for a few days is smart, as a 4 month old kitten is about double the size of an 8 week old kitten…But this doesn’t have to be for long…they are both babies…She just needs to be sure and protect the tiny one until the friendship gets started. A week from now, they’ll be playing together.

I just adopted a 10 week old kitten and introduced him to my bully cat - 5 years old. After a few days, the cat actually took the kitten under his wing, which is what I was hoping for since he doesn’t typcally get along with other “cats”. Well, since that went so well, after 2 weeks, we found out the kitten’s brother had still not been adopted so we adopted him and brought him home. I thought they would remember eachother but they don’t and are hissing and pawing at eachother. They are both 12 weeks old now. How long do you think it will take until they will start being friendly with eachother?
ok and what if they scratch the sh*t out of each other like what BUTTERS JUST TRIED TO DO.
I don’t think keeping them seperate would be a good idea…
Give them time and make sure they are treated equal. But don’t hover over them watching give them space and time and they will be fine.
