We currently have a 4 yr old cat who will be moving in with us in one month, but we would like to introduce a kitten into our new apartment before bringing our fat cat into the house.
Our cat, Buddy, is strictly an indoor cat. We were hoping that the kitten would learn his great trait!
We want the kitten to feel at home first, before introducing Buddy to his new home.
Any suggestions? Anyone have a kitten looking for a home? Let us know!
Love and paws, V,J,Buddy

Re: Loving couple seeking loving kitten...
I know Marymoon has some cats she is looking to find homes for... I don't think they are kittens though.
I read somewhere to place the new kitten and the cat in seperate rooms but where they can also smell each other. Like the kitten in the bathroom and the cat roaming around. Just for a day. Of course this is hard when little meows are screaming thru the door. YOur cat has been with you so it is he that gets priority or else he will feel left out. the new kitten is just happy to play and run around. YOur cat buddy might reject the kitten at first but you have to make sure that you give buddy ALOT of attention when the kitten is around. Cats have their own personality but they are also very territorial. I'd play with Buddy and at the same time call over little one. See how buddy reacts, if he seems to get upset, seperate them, but still where they can smell each other. If the kitten is on one rooom and buddy in the other see if either of them are hanging around the door, they are trying to smell one another. Buddy might go under a bed or hide for a while too, not just because of the kitten but because of teh new home. Make sure you have something of buddy's from the old place and bring it to the new place. Maybe a favorite blanket or his scratching post or his favorite toy. I'd call your vet too. Good Luck! I'll ask around if anyone wants a kitten too.
