You fed it, now you own it. (or it owns you)
We had a simular "adoption" almost a year ago. My 12 year old cat was not happy about it but they co-exist. He hands out a can of whoopA$$ now and again to let the young whipper snapper know who is still king of the roost. Nice lookin kitty by the way.

Whenever we got a new cat we always put it in a separate room away from the other cats and introduced them slowly......it always works they get used to each other fairly quickly

They littermates? That'll make it tougher to introduce the kitten. Don't leave them alone with her until the adoption is complete...give the kitten it's own room, own litterbox.

Yep, the big ones ( 14 and 18 pounders ) are brother and sister.
We had an old cat that died a few years back. We brought these cats along when they were kittens and they harassed the old one... KT

Thought so from the pose...we recently adopted a pair of littermates from the local no kill shelter. They both big cats too. It would have been criminal to separate them.

They are definitely neat critters...as soon as we realize who is boss, they adapt well.

Was not their fault that they were abandoned, found mutilated and starving outside work, tossed out a car window in front of me or that their owner passed away. They needed to be cared for.

Hard to tell about how everyone will get along, but I can't recall having a situation that didn't end up in an eventual truce for all involved. Noses will get bent out of joint, but generally it is just hissing and posturing. Just watch for anything bloody.
The biggest issue would be to have the new cat get shots and de-flea it. You don't want to introduce any diseases into the house if you can avoid it. That said, my cats haven't been to the vet in years. They are indoor-only, and never have exposure to the outside world. They are happy and healthy with the oldest going on 13 years or so. Don't know exactly as I adopted him as an adult. |

Lots of good advice here Trekkor. Tested and shots before introduction to the community, seperate room and litter box, and it's also a good idea for a separate feeding area at first.
Gradual introductions have always worked for us (we have three as well), and sure there will be some noses bent out of shape at first, but once they realize that they're all passengers on the same gravy train, it all works out. We just introduced this one from the shelter to our 10 year old & 6 year old, and things are working fine. Good on you for saving one!
