If you take a kitten into the house, sooner or later he will feel himself the master of the situation, the main and only cat in this apartment. But the situation changes radically if there are two or more kittens. Inevitably, the struggle for the championship will begin, most likely with fights and stress. In this case, not only animals will suffer, but also their owners. To prevent this from happening, it is better for newly-made kitten owners to listen to the advice of experienced breeders who have long understood the intricacies of cat psychology and know how to make kittens friends.
Instructions
Step 1
If you brought a kitten into a house where one animal already lives, it is likely that the first cat will feel offended because of the fact that its territory is invaded. He will do his best to protect his property, namely the room where he used to sleep, a bowl of food and even a tray. To make it clear that the new kitten is not a threat to the first one, provide the newcomer with his own tray and bowl, and ideally - isolate him for several days in another room. During this time, the kittens will get used to each other, even if they hiss through the door. Mutual understanding between two cats can also be helped by mixing their smells. Put the little kitten on which the youngest slept on to the older kitten, let it get used to the smell of its new flatmate.
Step 2
If you took two kittens at the same time, for example, for breeding, or simply could not resist both when choosing, but the kids are not yet familiar with each other, first of all give them the opportunity to introduce themselves to each other. Leave the kittens in the room, let them sniff. Place bowls and drinkers of water side by side for them, even if they only eat and drink from one. Give each kitten the same attention so that both feel loved and needed. Buy simple toys for them, such as a ball or a fake mouse, so the kittens can play with each other.
Step 3
It happens that kittens treat each other with pronounced aggression, especially if some are same-sex. If the fights have been going on for more than a month since the horses began to live together, this is a reason to think about their compatibility. As a drastic measure, harmless cat sedatives can help. In the case when any one kitten is aggressive, it must be pacified by spraying it into the muzzle from a spray bottle during an animal's rage attacks. Another preventive measure is to install a mesh barrier between the kittens, for example, pull it in the doorway. If for some time they will see and hear, smell each other, but will not be able to fight, then in a few days the need for aggression will pass by itself.
