Why is my older cat so aggressive towards my kitten
My older cat about 10yo was a single cat all her life. I recently moved out for college and ended up rescuing a kitten that was found behind a dumpster. I plan on keeping him but when I’m back home for this summer my older cat HATES him. She’s not one for change and when we got new dogs she would hide for a bit but always come around. My kitten wants to be her friend so so bad and trills at her and shows his belly. But every time he goes anywhere near her she gets so incredibly angry and literally screams at him and swats. I read this is her teaching him manners but I’m scared this is too aggressive. We got feliway diffusers and the older cat is on some medication. (She’s on anxiety meds for more than just this) I have tried all the introduction stuff for like a while now. Right now they are being kept away from each other by a gate. He does EVERYTHING in his power to reach her though. She doesn’t care about him as long as he stays away but he refuses to stay away
