Teach your kitten proper play: Multiple short, positive interactions during the day (about 10 minutes long each), as well as scheduled playtime, will strengthen the human-animal bond with your new family member. During these play sessions, it’s important to teach your kitten how to play properly and to work on eliminating play-related aggression, since a kitten’s idea of play may involve unsolicited scratching and biting.
Introduce the kitten to other pets: It’s typically the existing pets that may pose more of a problem during introductions, so it’s important that intros are done slowly and properly.
Keep the kitten safe at night: It’s preferred to keep kittens confined at night, even if they have access to other parts of the home during the day. Their initial “safe space” area can serve this need.
