Alot of work with Lucky (my older cat). He barked, pawed, bit at her, and so on. It took months to get him to relax around the cats. And so my older cat doesn't really have a good relationship with him. She never gets close to him, but will lay on top of my lap when ollie is near.
Odin (pictured kitten) came in after he became friendly with cats. Since it was his first time actually being allowed to play with the kitten (Lucky didn't let him play) it was rough in the beginning. Because he played too hard. After correcting whenever he was too rough (pawing, pinning, or biting too hard) he got used to his limitations.
Now the kitty is bigger (about 7 pounds) and has claws. So he does the corrections himself.
