Need advice from mutiple cat owners. We have a 6 yr. old male neutered cat. We have had him since he was about 8 weeks old. Indoor only. Never has even seen another cat. Semi-everything. Semi likes to play for about 1 minute. Semi likes to be petted for about 2 minutes. Likes to near you, but really a semi-lap cat. Not friendly to strangers, will sniff and walk off. But we can pick this cat up and do what we want with him, my 13 yr old daughter picks him up and carries him around like a baby and he just looks like a limp noodle. She can jump at him and tussel with him and he takes it, no problem. He loves to only cuddle at night in bed with us.
We got another kitten last weekend but brought it home took to vet and found out it had ringworm, hubby said no, he didn't want anyone of us catching it and especially Abby and could not let this 8 week old kitten be confined by itself for 6-8 weeks. I called the lady we got the kitten from and she offered to take the kitten back and so we let the kitten go back. I have disinfected EVERYTHING in the guest bathroom where we kept her for a couple of days. Abby never saw the kitten.
We so much want to get another kitten for all of us and we have the opportunity to adopt another young cat...it is a female about 1 year old and is spayed. She is being fostered right now. After reading several post on here about introducing them, i feel we can do that. My question is...is a 1year old o.k. to go with or should I look for a younger kitten taking into account Abby's personality? The 1 year old has been with other cats and gets along good with other cats and children. What is anyone's opinion on this?
