If you will bring a baby kitten suddenly to your home it might result in unwelcoming hissing and fights with older cat. Begin the introduction with a period of confinement. Introduction through the door will help both the kitten and cat to get accustomed to each other&#8217;s smell and presence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%A2_Trade_Items_Between_the_Cats\"><\/span>\u2022 <b><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Trade Items Between the Cats.<\/span><\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cats are animals that recognize each other through scent.
