My partner and I are getting two kittens in a few weeks. Ideally we would have liked the kittens to have been from the same litter but unfortunately it wasn’t possible. One female is a full Ragdoll and the other female is a Ragdoll x Birman x Persian cross. Both are within a week off each other age wise. In terms of their character, neither seemed particularly dominant in their litter when interacting with their siblings. We also have a border collie.
We wanted to be as prepared as we can be for the kittens’ arrival and wanted some advice regarding bringing the kittens home. The kittens are currently 5 weeks old. What age should we aim to bring them home (8-10 weeks? Closer to 12 weeks?)? Should both kittens be brought home at the same time or should one be allowed to settle for a few days before we introduce the second kitten? Other than that we have been reading about the best way to introduce the kittens to the house and the dog to the kittens and vice versa.
We would appreciate any other advice as we want to do this right. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
