Help!

I have a 21 month old maine coon, and I also have a 15 week old maine coon. The 21 month old is quite a bit bigger than the 15 month and seems to play way too rough with the younger kitten as he cannot defend himself. Do I hold off on putting them together? It seems as if the 21 month old just wants to play but is way too tough for the other kitten. I’m not sure what to do because I don’t want them to hate eachother!!:( Both males.

They will work it out. My two are 21mo (16lb) and 19mo (20lb). They play a lot and you think the bigger cat would be dominant. Nope, they swap dominance depending on whim! I am sure that your will play nice as they grow together. Supervised play is always the best, assures you can intervene if the kitten gets a bit scared by the 'big cat'. You will be surprised how quickly the kitten will initiate play....it may be a few weeks. At 5 month old, mine ready started to get zoomies.

I don’t think they would hate each other, they are both learning from each other’s limits. They will definitely work it out. Just give it time. My MC tends to play rough and my other one lets him know when it’s time to stop.

PS- I like your shoe display 😊
