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

Once the cats seem comfortable with each other, you can move on to the final step. Open the door all the way, allowing the cats to come and go as they please. Monitor them closely, in case they fight. Do not leave them alone for any length of time until you are sure they will get along well. Make sure there is at least one litter box per cat. This helps to prevent a more dominant cat from stalking the other and keeping him from using the litter box.

best of luck!

I had a 2 yr old cat and then brought a kitten into the house. It was great! He used to let the kitten chase him around - and he would chase her too - they would be together constantly.

Of course I've seen the opposite too, it's really a matter of their personalities meshing rather than clashing. When you bring the new kitten home it's a good idea to keep the cats separated for a few days, preferably in an area where they can still have some minor interaction, such as through the crack under the door.

if you make it easy on your 2.5 year old it will be easy. just remember to continue to give him the same amount of attention as before and it should go great

He will get upset and they will not get along for awhile. This always happens but they will sort it all out. Then they will more than likely become best friends. I say go for it. You cat needs a companion.

When you first get the kitten leave it in a room to itself for at least a day before letting it roam around the rest of the house. Your cat will probably growl at the kitten at first but as long as he is not hurting it then there's nothing you need to do. It just takes some time so be patient.
