We have a cat that is now 14 months old and we have had her since birth. She is a great, friendly loving and always greeted us at the door. Very playful also. The problem is this; we adopted a new kitten, about 6 weeks old. The meeting went very well, my older cat kind of took on the "mother" role. They played together and followed each other everywhere. After 9 days of having the new kitten, the older one runs and hides everytime she sees him. If and when she does come out from hiding she isnt growling or mean with any of us, but when she sees new kitty, off she goes. We have not changed any of our behavior towards her so we dont understand why this is happening. We feel very guilty. Should we? Does anyone have any suggestions?
