I have 3 cats! We had a rescue & when he was 5 years old we got another rescues that was also 5 years old! They get along OK! No fighting & a little socializing, all seemed to be going well! Then We went to a cat show & fell in love, again, with this tiny Burmese’s kitten all by himself looking very sad! I had to have him! He was 10 weeks old when we got him & he just turned 2 on Christmas Eve 2018. The problem is this sweet little fellow wants a cat friend! He constantly tries to sleep with one of the older rescues! That lasts about a half hour,first, with a lot of licking that seems to be enjoyable to both! Apparently not! It always gets aggressive starting with the older cat & sometimes, cat swatting & occasionally wrapping their mouth around the little guys neck, Then ends up with a lot of hissing! The Burmese just seems to want a friend to cuddle & sleep with & he tries so often but keeps getting rejected! He does sleep in our bed taking turns sleeping on my husband then me, but the minute one of the older cats gets on the bed,he wants to cuddle & sleep with them! Then it ends up a scuffle in our bed in the middle of the night!
My husband & I kinda think he may have been taken away from his mother to early because the owner wanted to, more or less get rid of him, to breed again as soon as possible! When we bought the kitten we felt so sorry for him & felt as if we rescued him to! He is just the sweetest little guy but we feel he is lonely & wants a kitty friend! He usually ends up all by himself! He does act like he loves us but we think he would just prefer a kitty playmate!
My husband and I have been thinking about getting a kitten! One that is about 6 to 8 months old but under a year! Can any one give some thoughts on this situation & on adopting another kitten? Is this a good idea or could we end up the same way! I know anything is possible but we are not sure what to do! We want the “baby” to be happy & he just doesn’t seem like he is! We’ve had lots of cats over the past 43 years and only once did we have one, our first cat, that hated every cat we brought home her whole life! That one never got along with any of the others at all & was mean & nasty to them, but they were able to live in the same house as long as they went to their neutral spaces!
Does any one think a new kitten would be a good or bad idea! My husband & I would appreciate any & all the help we can get!
Thank you all!!!
