Will my 2 yr old cat get mad if I get a kitten2007-11-25 12:33:16

I have a 2.5 year old indoor cat and am thinking about getting a kitten. My cat is very active and I think he would enjoy a playmate. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Thanks!

I have 4 cats we have added them one at a time. The others are always a little pissed. Keep your new baby in the bathroom or a seperate room unless you are there to supervise them. It always seems to take about 2 weeks for them to adjust to eachother. Consider getting a bigger kitten - tiny ones can't get away or defend themselves if a bigger cat goes after them. It doesn't seem to matter if they are males, females, or one of each. Be patient. In a couple weeks they will be all snuggled up together and chasing eachother around the house. Good Luck!!

Depends..if your cat is a girl, expect her to hiss and get upset at the new cat.if a boy, he will probably enjoy a playmate..girls are very catty..even the human kind.

My cat was 1 and I introduced a new kitten. She did not appear to like it at first. She took a few swats at it. In the morning I found the kitten hiding behind a couch cushion. Remember the kitten is a lot littler and cannot play as rough as a heavier cat, but they do catch up fast. Now they spend lots and lots of time together. Sometimes they sleep curled up together. Really cute!!

Male cats are generally much more accepting of the "stranger in their midst" than a female would be. And it not a bad age match either.
