Daily Kitten Chat Forum » Introductions

1. 

   My name is Danielle. Ill be turning 31 on Wed. I have a 7 year old, Mina and just found a kitten at less than 1 week old. She’s now 7.5 weeks old. I’ve named her Destiny. She was in a 2nd story parking garage under a van. Now that I look back at the situation I wonder if she was put there as a ploy to get someone over to the van. I was with my mom at the time. I tried to take her to SPCA but they didn’t have the staff to feed her because she was so young. I had always thought of getting another cat for my Mina to play with. She is an indoor cat and seems lonely sometimes. I just don’t know if she'd get along with another cat. Well now I guess I’m forced to try. Destiny is going for her shots today and I hope I can now introduce the two of them. They have had little contact until now. They are both females. I was really hoping Destiny ended up being a Destin (male). Only time will tell.

   hehhe jsut like any two cats.
   1. spend load sof attention and time with the older kitty so they don't feel left out.
   2. make sure they have each others scents on them
   3. let them take the steps needed to bond
   4. get a large crate of some kind or playpen so they can see eahc other and smell each other and even paw at eahc other
   after that and they are showing no fear of each other let then out in a small area together supervised to monitor and referee if needed.
   5. toys toys and treats

   in time they will set their own order of whose lace is where in the household and then in time they will become either friends, or jsut tolerant each other!

   actually yes and no! Most times a kitten to an adult is jsut as easy as the opposite sexes. Also easy is different for each perosn hehhee. Some cats are jsut plain stubborn and will make it difficult others are very calm and relaxed and will jsut accept the newbies coming into the home well invading the home heheh!
