Hi there and thanks for posting! Sounds like Pretty kitty has a lot of pent up energy or it may be frustration towards the new kitty. If this has been a one time event, I wouldn't worry too much. If it continues to happen, then it may be signal a potential issue between the kitten and Pretty kitty or a signal that Pretty kitty may need to be exercised a bit more. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
