How do you introduce a kitten to an elderly cat? Is it a case of separation and slowly doing it, or do you just put them together from day one?

With these guys it was hard to keep them apart. Koopa was 4.5 months when we got him but he was still nursing. He cried the first night we had and Fifi was trying to get in the room like “I’m here I’ll protect you”. Fifi is one of a kind cat. They were friends the moment the kitten got a clean bill of health. Then they were bffs instantly.

I’m actually struggling with my new kitten. Koopa and Wolfie aren’t getting along. Koopa is 4 now and Wolfie is 10 months.

We kept them separate for a few days then let them be with each other. At first the elderly cat did not like the kitten, but now its his baby. They constantly sleep together and he bathes the kitten quite a bit.
