Answer 3

Territory lessons, playing, pay back for the kitten pestering him when you aren't around...lol like mine does to my other cats..... plus, the sooner you get the younger fixed, should help....he's coming of age and the other male senses it.  They will end up buddies....bank on it.  Let another cat come in in a few months and go after one of the 2 and the other one will be all over it in defense.

Answer 4

i think u wil find , that if there is a new cat /dog in the house  it

takes  time for them to get used  to them .

in their eyes the new one has invaded his territory,

so , give them time , play with both of them ,

and praise both at the same time ,

stroke them at the same time and talk to them ,

i know it sounds stupid , but i have actualy got2 cats that

talk .

2 of them say hello , and the one of them says [ mouse ]

when she has bought me a present in .

they are not alive , they are only little field mouses,

they die of shock more than anything else .

the 1 yr old is jealous of the other treat them the same way

and you  will have no problems , also feed them at the same

time , that way they do not think there is any favourtism.

that's the best  thing .

introduce them  to each other and spend time with the

pair of them ,

Male cats kill the young males because of territory. Just keep an eye on them and protect kitten until he grows some.
