new friends for adult kitties
We have a 6 year old female cat that we are getting a kitten companion
for. We have encountered some people that believe we need two kittens in order to give the adult a break from playtime while still occupying the kitten. Help, we need to make a decision soon! |

Adopt as many as you can take but be upfront with the knowledge that some cats are one kitty cats only. Best of luck the localshelter will love litter mates to be taken home together THat is what I think. This person should make sure her existing cat will be happy with other cats in the house. Maybe borrow or foster a cat. |

Aaack. I inadvertently hit the wrong button.
Don't know where my reply went, so if it went nowhere, I am posting again... (Maybe didn't help that the kitten ran across my keyboard around that time. How he managed to hit so many keys with only four paws...) There are some very good reasons for getting two kittens for a six year old cat. The six year old might find one kitten to be harassment, since the one kitten can't help but target the older cat for play and interaction, and the older cat is dealing with enough right now. Two kittens take the pressure off, as I wrote in this post: http://wayofcats.blogspot.com/2007/1...more-cats.html And introduce properly! Put the kittens in another room while the older cat is geting used to the idea. Don't let the older cat in until their curiosity is unbearable, and that will help override their misgivings. |
