Hi everyone! I'm looking for some advice about introducing a new cat into the household.
I currently have a very shy but sweet 8 month old guy who was a rescue off the streets when he was 2 months old. My issue now is that my tenant has asked if she could bring her 9 year old guy to live with us. Her cat is very sweet and completely uninterested in most things (he stayed with us for 6 months last year until she had to travel and is currently living with her parents).
I'd love to have him but I wonder what the implications could be by bringing in a much older male cat into the household when my cat is a very shy and timid boy.
I've done plenty of research regarding the right process of introducing them safely but I can't really seem to find anything that relates to our situation. Any advice or thoughts would be so great as I'm a first-time cat owner and I don't want to cause any real trauma or drama for both sweet guys.
