Thank you, she’s beautiful. I don’t think Nala would be bothered by it. I’ll have a look on Amazon. You’d think they would try n make it smaller.

My cat just loves to door surf, his balance is impeccable

Mine begs to be put on the door then cries to be helped down, as if she cannot jump quite easily
this sounds so minor, but how do I stop my 16 week old kitten attacking (not exaggerating) my head and back to get to my hair. I'm currently sat with a beanie and my hair tucked in so she can't get it. I'd appreciate any tips at this point. I have a back full of holes and scratches from her claws, she fully pounces and then climbs my back whenever I'm least expecting it and I can't wear a hat/beanie 24/7. PLEASE HELP 
I'm laughing but I don't actually find it funny it's painful.

I'd suggest calling a vet, just to ask what your options are. I used to have a half-feral cat who was violent and aggressive, I called the local vet and he was given a series of medication to help him calm down.this sounds so minor, but how do I stop my 16 week old kitten attacking (not exaggerating) my head and back to get to my hair.

Is your kitten de-sexed? That could be part of the problem as well although it's usually a male cat thing. It could be you just need to re-train her not to go near your hair. Gosh, I do sympathise with you, kitten claws are sharp as hell!
A gorgeous cat I had years ago my beautiful Ted had a thing about my hair,he lay at the back of my pillow whilst me in bed,he’d lay nearly on top of head and do his biscuit making.Didnt always hurt but bless his purring.
Awwwww. That just made me smile.A gorgeous cat I had years ago my beautiful Ted had a thing about my hair,he lay at the back of my pillow whilst me in bed,he’d lay nearly on top of head and do his biscuit making.Didnt always hurt but bless his purring.
I’ve had feral cats as well and they did grow out of it but I can’t remember how long it took . How about scooshing her gently with a water filled plant spray? Although not much use when she’s in stealth mode now I come to think about it .this sounds so minor, but how do I stop my 16 week old kitten attacking (not exaggerating) my head and back to get to my hair.

Looking for some advice on introducing cats.
My current cat is 3,5yo and always stays indoors. She hasn't lived with another cat since she left the litter to come live with us (and I always felt kinda bad about not adopting another sibling too).
New cat is a kitten of about 3 to 4 months old, we don't know much about her, but she's supersweet to us humans and even to my 1yo daughter.
They've seen eachother through a glass door and were mainly interested in eachother, new kitten growled and hissed a little bit, but all in all, they stayed civil.
After a while my cat even turned her back to the kitten and started cleaning herself. The kitten did the same after a while.
Current setup: kitten in the bathroom and cat in the living room (glass door is between the hallway and the living room). I've exchanged blankies between them and my cat takes her time to smell me carefully when I come back from the kitten. She also still naps on my lap. She's a bit crabby at times, but then I just give her some space.
So it's actually looking surprisingly well.
Vet told me to switch cat to bathroom and kitten to living room a few times, so they can inspect eachothers smells without the other cat being there. And eventually they'll hopefully hit it off? If not, the kitten has another potential loving home already lined up. I just really hope she can stay.
Do you have any other tips? Anything else I can do to help them get used to eachother?

It sounds like you're doing everything you possibly can! There's no reason the kitten can't stay, the occasional spat is completely normal even if they usually get along.
If the older cat is happy to clean herself in front of the baby cat, I think you're most of the way there
Exactly this, I have two cats of similar age gaps and they often fight and growl (little one is a typical annoying younger siblingIt sounds like you're doing everything you possibly can!

) but even so they do often play together and I am glad they do not have to be alone when I am af work
Have a look at feliway friends
Yeah, I'm making sure original cat still feels loved, don't want her to feel like she's being forgotten. She's majorly food motivated so giving her some extra snacks too
If anyone has any naming ideas btw, do let me know.
Our OG cat is called Penny (not named after the Big Bang Theory
). For the kitten (who we're currently lovingly calling "The Intruder" ) I was thinking Artemis, Athena, Pompon, but none of it is really working. She's a brown/grey tabby, heavy on the black. So nothing too sugary sweet.I can also imagine calling her after a kitchen utensil though, so suggest whatever you want
