Meh, typical kitten look. That's not even the cute model. I think people have scripted responses when they see a "OMGWTBBBQ NEW KITTY" thread.

I have a new kitten (well not so new anymore). I also have an older cat that is about 5 years old. When we brought the kitten home the older cat hated her.. but NEVER even went to hurt her.. He just kept his distance and as a curious kitten does, would hiss and arch his back when she came near him to scope him out.

My older cat still would rather not have anything to do with her and its been 4 months now, but occassionally I catch them playing together :)

You shouldn't need to do this more than once, the new cat being a kitten will probably naturally submit to the older cat's dominance in the household.


Seriously???
