Default Cat fights-need help

I'm assuming there is no biting, wounds, drawing blood, just lots of
noise and hissing? Is either cat retreating/hiding when this happens?
It sounds like the kitten is being a kitten and wanting to play, but
the adult cat is not interested.

I know you won't want to hear this, but I would separate them and
reintroduce them very slowly. You can feed them on either side of the
door and play with them so their paws touch. Make sure the kitten gets
lots of playtime so she's not feeling isolated. Switch the rooms they
are in, and make sure they can smell each other's scent. You might
even try installing a screen door for a while so they can see each
other but not touch.

Try a Feliway diffuser in several parts of the house to help calm
things down. You can also put Rescue Remedy (an herbal remedy) in
their water--I've had good luck with both of these. Take it slow and
things will calm down. It will just take some more time.


Yes, you are correct- no blood, no retreating/hiding.
