Why does my cat still growl at my new kitten after introduction?

Question

Unfortunately it's very common. It means you need to rewind a bit and introducing more slowly. It can take months to fully integrate a new cat (and sometimes it doesn't even work at all). If eating in the same room was fine, go back to that for a few weeks, but no free roaming.
