The big cat bites the new kitten on the back of the neck to assert its sovereignty and tell the kitten that it is the boss here. This behavior is completely out of territorial awareness. If a new animal invades its territory, the cat will be on alert and bite the back of the kitten like a mother cat with her baby cat, letting the kitten know how powerful it is. Will also look for opportunities to drive away kittens.

The correct way for big cats to get along with new kittens

1. For kittens that have just been brought home, don’t rush to meet the aborigines at home. Big cats have a strong sense of territory. If a kitten suddenly competes with them in the house, the big cats will be very unhappy and may even hurt the kittens.

2. It is best to keep big cats and kittens separately so that the two cats do not see each other. If there are no suitable breeding conditions, you can also choose to keep them in two cages respectively.

3. At the beginning, the owner should not be too partial to the kitten and neglect the big cat, otherwise the big cat will become jealous. The owner should treat the cat as usual, and also comfort the big cat.

4. After the kitten is familiar with the new living environment, you can exchange the living environments of the big cat and the kitten so that they can become familiar with each other's smell.

5. After a few days of familiarity, the owner can let the big cat and the kitten meet. At the beginning, the two cats will smell each other's scent, and the owner should not disturb them. If they confirm that there is no threat to each other, the two cats will get along peacefully. If the owner finds that two cats are fighting, they should separate them in time. Repeat the above steps until the two cats no longer fight when they meet.
