My cat is confusing. At times it seems she's getting used to kitten and wants to play, but they don't understand their languages. Resident cat isn't really eating much
My resident cat is a year old, and I brought in a kitten a month ago. He's been in the safe room, and the resident cat's hissing stopped within the first few days. We've also had them interacting through the door, and eating on either side of it. However, when we allow them to have supervised visits, they sniff each other, then the cat licks the kitten, then the cat starts biting the kitten on his neck/back. I've tried feliway, but it doesn't seem to help. I've tried distracting my resident cat with treats and toys but she keeps her focus on the kitten. I don't know what to do!
im in the same situation. i cant do all the steps because my older cat has a certain personality i just brought feliway :(( what ended up happening for you??

My resident kitty is fine with the kitten. Kitten hisses at resident kitty. Do I still,do the same process?
Christine, the kitten hissing is not unusual. You want to go gradual, so continue that very gradual approach and you will have success! :-)
Hahahaga kitty simulation...
