Integrating a new cat: part 2

Hello, this part two of my article about bringing a new cat to the family. If you followed each step correctly, and the older cat still mistreats the younger cat you have to take considerable action. My older cat, Duke, still mistreats Earl. However, when he does growl or strike Earl, we simply snap our fingers or call his name firmly. After that he stops and doesn't continue. Sometimes Earl starts it be violently playing with Duke. That is also unacceptable. You must train the kitten to learn to play gently by slapping him gently when he claws at the other cat, and small things like that should correct the problem. My next article will be about, why do the older cats let the younger cats beat them up? Stay tuned at AEC Smarter Economics.
