My cat is growling and hissing after given a new toy?
I have 2 cats, both neutered males. My original was Tigger, I brought home Patches a few months ago. Tigger is a little over a year old, Patches is about 2 I believe. They get along perfectly fine.
I just came home from work and brought one new toy home for them. Tigger immediately started playing with it. As I was drinking water in the kitchen, Tigger began to growl. He was staying still, crouching, with the new toy in his mouth, Patches was a foot away staring at him. Patches wanted to play with the toy too. Tigger will let me take it from his mouth and let Patches play, but he snagged it back and ran under the kitchen table with a hiss, and began growling again. When his growling started getting nasty I took Patches into my bedroom.
I don't know what do to...should I take the toy away? Did I make a mistake getting only one?

you have a kitty with a high prey drive! It would probably help to get more than one toy. I have 8 cats, and only a few of them will respond like that to toys, but only if they have feathers on them, Just make sure you have plenty of cool toys for them to play with and they should be fine :)
