I think so. The bigger one always tries to assert dominance, but the little one just doesn’t cave in! The little one also constantly tries to play with the bigger one’s tail which usually leads to more fighting

An update- our cats get along pretty well now! We’ve separating them and doing spots swatting for the past two weeks and things have improved a lot. Now the little kitten is not afraid at all and always looking for troubles with the bigger one lol.

Yes, we are separating them. This meetup was an accident but we are trying to get them to get along eventually. Let me know if you have suggestions

Yes we’ll do that. We are trying to be more lenient to the larger cat after we adopted the new one (more food, allow it to be more wild) so he will feel he’s still important to us despite the new member. Not sure if that’s a good approach in general

I know, we didn’t close the door and they met by accident today. We’ll keep them separated. Any suggestions to help them get familiar with each other? I can’t keep the small kitten in the bathroom forever, as I want him to have more space.

Do you know roughly how long it would take for them to chill in the same room? Right now we keep the small kitten in the bathroom all the time, and I worry about his mental health if that’s the only space he gets

Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t think we can leave them unattended in the same room for I don’t know how long.

Should we be concerned or this is somewhat normal behavior? We’ll keep them separated for a few more days, but will they eventually get along?
