They are pretty irresistible at that age. I'm bringing along a feral male that showed up 3 months after the vet killed my female Himalayan. This guy won't be able to live in the house because he will and does spray. But whereas he wouldn't come within 6 feet of me 4 months ago, now he won't stop rubbing on my legs.

Well, a bout with ringworm and he and I don't associate too intimately nowadays, but I will brush him down with a cat brush.

On your cat: I don't think you need to keep them separated for weeks. Two females will get along or they won't. It's just the way it is.
