My older cat hisses at kittens but cuddles them. Is this normal?

Question

I got 2 Devon Rex Kitten to befriend my older Devon Rex (5y), they're all males. I have neutered all of them. Everything was fine for a month or so but then suddenly my older cat started hissing for the younger kitten a lot, ad even hitting him sometimes. Whats strikes me the most is that they still seem to be ok (they sleep together ans even wash eachother). Just a bit worried. Maybe its because the kittens have so uvh energy that the older one gets pissed off? Would really appreciate help! Pet's info: Cat | Devon Rex | Male | neutered | 5 years and 2 months old | 8 lbs

IT can be common for two cats to get along sometimes and not other just like children. The cats are working together to figure out perfect harmony in there environment. I would not be concerned unless you notice abnormal urination/defecation or you feel like the two cats are constantly fighting. IF they are having occasional disagreements that can just be normal pet behavior. If you feel the younger cat has a lot of energy I would recommend trying to increase play by hiding toys and treats around the house. Hope that helps
