I am very worried about my 12 year old female cat that has been desexed, but never had any kittens of her own. I have had these two kittens, now 7 weeks old, in my house. They have been separated for two weeks. Initially my older cat was very cranky, hissing, and even attacked me, the owner.
They can see and smell each other, but are separated. I have my older cat in my bedroom; she has access to the kitchen and both lounge rooms. The kittens have access to the laundry, a very small hallway toilet, and the bathroom, as well. I have blocked half of my back room that goes outside in the backyard. My older cat seem scared.
She is hissing at the kittens, as well as us, when we have the smell of the kittens on myself and my two children (one 13 years and the other 14 years). My older cat is extremely angry, hissing, scratching, and biting us. She seemed to have settled a tiny bit in two weeks. We put the kittens underneath a washing basket. She looks and hisses, but won't go near them to smell them or look at them closer. Will my 12 year old eventually like these two kittens, or is she likely to hurt them or kill them?
