Hi all! I have a 2-year-old cat and am adopting a 12-week-old kitten. Or, I want to, but I'm not sure about the compatibility of my schedule. For the next month or so, I'll be out of the house for 12-14 hours once a week (only away from home a couple of hours a day otherwise). I could probably rearrange my schedule to be away for two 10-hour days instead (factoring in commute time and the days of the week under this option), but not really sure if that would be better or worse.
Intermediate-term, I'm hoping the kitten and my cat will get along - my cat used to live with other cats and reacts in a neutral/calm way when she sees cats outside - and wonder if that would help mitigate any issues, once they're on good enough terms to be left alone together? (I know that won't be in the first week, probably not even the first couple of weeks.)
Any insight or feedback? Has anyone else had this kind of schedule and made it work with a little kitten?
