#cat - #Question about my older cat


Question about my older cat

Heads up, formatting may be off I'm on mobile.

So we have two 9 year old cats and we just got a kitten. The female older cat has never had kittens and is rather standoffish with people, only really wanting attention on her own terms, etc. When we got the kitten, she reacted as we expected, hissing, batting, growling. Recently, the kitten discovered a hole in the bottom of a bed and will climb in and just hang out for as long as she wants. The older female will now follow her and sit in front of the bed just staring, the whole time the kittens in there. She still hisses occasionally and is starting to warm up. This is very out of character for her. She won't meow or hiss when she watches, she'll just sit and wait. Nor does she react when the kitten comes out.

What could this mean? Is this her way of adjusting? Is she trying to protect her?
