Aggressive Kitty w/older cat
 

I have a 1-1/2 year old, female blue russian cat. She is very mild
manner and friendly.

I also have a 9 week old, female siamease kitten. She is somewhat
aggressive and has a big appetite.

How do I keep the kitten from eating the older cat's food. I'm afraid
the older cat isn't getting enough food since the younger cats seems
to keep her away from her food. We have the kittens food upstairs and
the older cat's food downstairs. Everytime we see her eating the
wrong food we take her up to her food and she starts eating but we are
not home during the day.

The cats seem to get along and play together but the kitten is already
turning into the alpha cat.

thanks

The only advice I can offer is set feeding times.
