How to Introduce a Kitten to a Cat in 5 Easy Steps

Best video i have watched on this subject. I am getting a new Kitten for my 8 month old kitten and i shall be taking this advice.

Good video. I would add one step: Early on, after letting the newcomer explore a room remove the newcomer and let the older cat go into the same room to get used to the newcomers smell.

“You don’t remember, but this is your child. You’re a parent now, congrats. Goodbye” That’s it.

I using ur step and yeah it works 100%,on 1st day my old cat hissing and the other is puffing then i separated them for a days but they did a contact beetwen the door and after 3 days i try to face to face them and yeah they r sniffing each other and my old cat always follow him as she really excited about the new cat.let them roam free and finally on day 12 they r playing chasing and.. best budd :)

Why am I watching this? I just have a dog

Ah yes Human, i see you have brought me an apprentice.

Can confirm it works. Our old cat is real aggressive towards other cats but we wanted another one so we tried. And after keeping the kitten in our bedroom for 10 days they now play together. I think the most important thing for our old cat was to be able to eat soft food right beside him. After that she was kinda fine with him. Just follow the steps and don't rush it. :)

When you watch this straight after you've already introduced your kitten to a cat- The kitten was super brave honestly, and we moved them apart if the elder one showed signs of having enough. They can sleep and clean next to eachother fine now and they have no problem sharing toys, we only have to pull them apart sometimes when they play because the elder cat is fat and squishes the kitten-

Kitten- hello I'm kitten, love me! Cat- no no no, repeat after me, "I am Cat, and YOU will obey ME" Kitten- Hi I'm Kitten, will you play with me?

the happy music is probably to hide the hissing and screeching

Great video!!! I have a cat about 5 yrs old & there is a homeless feral kitten that lives under a shed across the street from my apartment. She/he has warmed up to me by feeding & im gonna bring this kittie in! It brakes my heart that she/he is alone & cold at night so I MUST DO SOMETHING!

I have a 1year old, and I want a kitte to add to the family. Best introduction ever.

Within next 20 years I will be not surprised if a video will be made instructing how to introduce one human to another.

This is a good and well thought out introduction. Thanks for posting However....for better or worse, I took a slightly different approach when my Maine Coon kitten first came into the house. We had a 17lb bruiser of a Tux-cat, big and burly, and the kitten could have bedded down comfortably in a child's cereal bowl with room to spare. So after a spell in solitary (the downstairs bathroom) to get acclimated, I brought her upstairs and released her into gen-pop. I watched as she entered the dining room from the kitchen, and Sox-the-Tux entered from the living room. They spied one another and froze. The kitten puffed up all her fur, got up on her pads, danced over until she was nose-to-nose with him, and hissed in his face. I expected him to bat her out of the park like vintage Hank Aaron....but he just looked at her, kinda nonplussed, and appeared for all the world like he was saying to himself: "Hmm....well, I guess you could call that a cat....technically speaking..." I'd SWEAR he was laughing.... They staked out territories at first, and spat at one another occasionally, but it wasn't long before I'd find them together, batting a ball around, or curled up together on his favorite chair for a nap. Never had any bloodshed or fur bits flying,....he quickly grew to treat her like an indulgent uncle with a beloved but rebellious niece. Like so much else in life, these things have a way of working themselves out.
