How to get my older cat and new kitten to sleep together in my bed?

Question

Hello. I have 14 years old cat and a new under 2 months kitten. They are getting along pretty well in 3 days but the old one sometimes wants to play with little one, but other time he lets the kitten chase him. They have been on the same bed where one of them was sleeping and I was wondering if it would be possible to get them both sleep in my real bedroom, where the old one also spends most of his time in.

Your kitties are so cute! Yes it's possible to get Kiki to sleep on your bed, but given she is a young kitten, she may be more interested in playing at night than sleeping. When you go to bed, you can try bringing her in with you and your other cat, and give her treats when she lays down on your bed. That way, she associates your bed with a good thing, and may be more likely to lie down there. Keep in mind that cats and kittens can be finicky about where they sleep, and she may sleep there for a while, then move to a new favorite spot. This is completely normal. As she grows older, she may chose to want to sleep on your bed more, but for now, giving her treats when she is on it will provide a good association with being there and make it more likely she will want to lie on the bed. Good luck, I hope this helps!
