I have a 3 year old male who has not been neutered and a 6 month old male kitten who was neutered last week. My 3 year old is an outdoor cat and comes home sporadically. The kitten is indoor at the moment.
My 3 year old is aggressive with other cats in the neighbourhood. I've tried introducing them before and it didn't go well. The 3 year old tried to attack the kitten. I'm hoping now that the kitten is neutered he won't be so much of a threat but I'm unsure what to do next.
The 3 year old has been in and out but we keep them separate so that he can get used to the smell of the kitten. I put the kitten in a cat carrier tonight when the 3 year old came in so that he could see him. The 3 year old seemed calm, no hissing or growling. What do you think I should do next?
I'm hoping to let the kitten outside in the next few weeks but I fear that the 3 year old will chase him through the cat flap and all hell will break loose because neither of them will want to give up their territory.
Any advice would be great.
