Kitten hisses and growls at my older cat help/advice

[catsmom21]

I strongly urge you to take this kitten to your own vet and find out her health status for yourself. Bring a fresh stool sample.

Both cats will do much better on a wet diet.

Here's a good place to start learning about feline nutrition.

Ok thank you. I'll look into getting her to a vet soon I just hope I can spare the cash. Don't worry I'll make sure she gets to a vet one way or the other. I'll try shifting their diet, the only issue there is my older cat is picky at what he will eat so I'll have to try and find something he would eat.

Just an update I added a second box and I am seeing immediate results. Thank you all for the advice this kitten wouldn't be this comfortable here without you.

Glad things are going better. Sometimes, if we're lucky, the solution to 'cat problems' can be rather simple. I think most everyone here on the forum would agree- happy cats make for happy humans , and are glad to help if we can.

I would still advise you take a stool sample to your vet, just to make sure she's worm-free, and try to get her on a wet food diet.

Yes, try to change over to wet food. It took a long time to transition my Callie from dry to wet, but besides being more healthy, I didn't need a gas mask anymore when scooping her box ... wow, I didn't realize how stinky the "deposits" as a byproduct of dry food were until dry was eliminated from her diet!
