[QUOTE="Leftychick, post: 2157982, member: 764629"] What is happening is completely normal. Your Eldest cat, who is also that cat that you have had the longest is establishing dominance. You are right when you say that your Eldest cat is territorial. This is happening because she is jealous and afraid of being left out as well. She is also putting the new kitten in her place, reminding her who is boss. The actions of rejection will lessen over time, give it a few months. If she is still that way, have your new cat checked for any sicknesses or diseases. Cats will reject another cat if they sense them as a threat to their health, they also can detect an ailment in another cat months before you will be able to without a vet check up. Good luck! Also, if you are interested read "CAT TALK" by Carole C Wilbourn. She knows a lot about why cats behave the way they do, and it's really helpful! Sorry to hear about your dog, and good luck with your new addition! :) [/QUOTE]
