Jealousy is a human emotion. It sounds like they are just communicating in their own language and they need to sort things out for themselves. When they do, their social space will be respected by each other.

It sounds like you didn't properly introduce the cat to the kitten. The kitten should have been segregated for a while to give your cat and the kitten an opportunity to become aware of each other's presence, followed by a gradual introduction of the kitten. Usually, with time, the cats come to at least tolerate each other.
Many older cats don't want to be bothered by the kitten and the kitten's high energy. Your cat is telling the kitten to "back off" and leave her alone. (Perhaps you should have given your resident cat more consideration?)

Maybe you should consider just letting time take care of it. Sooner or later, everyone will relax. You cant force them to be friends, and interfering will just add to the stress...

My older cat was like this with my kitten when I first got her a year ago. She was always a cat that would rather be alone than bothered by other cats. She now grooms the younger cat, eats wit her, and even plays with her as shocking as that is (Garfield is her idol therefore playing is not on the priority list but eating is)
