Hello! It has been a while since I have been on but I am back because I will be bringing home a little rescue kitten tomorrow. I am extremely excited to be helping a little kitty but I am also extremely worried about my 1 year old cat. I have posted about Caspian before and I really have no idea how he is going to react to having another kitten around. Caspian has some problems with aggression (its more of a play aggression than a vicious "i hate everyone" aggression) and i have no idea how he is going to react to another cat. Caspian does live with a small dog and he is okay with him (except when he chases him, but that is mostly for play), but I dont know if it will be different with a cat. I have been thinking that this may be a good thing for Cas because I believe most of his aggressive episodes happen because he is bored and wants attention. I think having a young playmate may give him a level of interaction he never got from the dog or something he could never get from me.
Am I crazy for thinking that they could get along okay? I am planning to have the new kitty separated from Cas and introduce them VERY slowly. I guess I am posting this because I want to see what yall think about the situation with how my resident cat is. I honestly have no idea what I am going to do if they dont get along. What should I do if Caspian reacts aggressively even after a few weeks of slow introduction?
