Hopefully this is a short term behavioral problem that will resolve with time. Princess needs to get used to the kitten to get over this. You can begin by introducing the kitten's bedding or toys that the kitten plays in / with and see if the scent of the kitten on the objects helps Princess acclimate to a new kitten in the house. I would also recommend using the Feliway products, which can be easily found online, to see if these calming pheremones help. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
