Little fly - LOL! I had no clue that's what it meant. Thanks for telling me! We called him Mush sometimes...he was a great cat, though...lived til the ripe old cage of 19...*Sigh*
Anyway, keep us posted on what you decide to do! They are both so cute!!!:D
OH MY GOSH, adopt them both. That way if the Mishka doesn't want to be bothered by a kitten they can keep each other company!!!!! If I'd had the sense to do that when we adopted Jazz I think things would have been better.
Just to give you my experience, I had Ripley as an only cat for 10 years before we adopted Jazz at 14 weeks old. He took it very hard and was miserable (and deathly sick because he caught her URI) for months. Once he healthy again he began to tolerate her and then I brought Scout home. That made Ripley and Jazz kind of bond in the sense that they were both ticked at me.
Anyway, none of my three are buddies. They don't cuddle, groom each other or sleep together and sometimes we have some harsh spats but some how it seems to work well enough that they seem happy most the time and I've got my wonderful babies (and sometimes brats).
Agreed! Go for it, I have heard of FAR more successes than failures when it comes to cats learning to live together.Quote:

Personally,I think that getting a Cat,preferably an Older Cat,about two,would give your Kitten,someone to play,with,and a calming influence!
I have just takeing in one of my grandkitties from my daughter . The 2 adults here already and the new additon all have very different personalities. Winky (the old guy 14 yrs) Knew him (moose the new addition) as a kitten and just looked at him and said Oh no your back. (another story all to geather) The 3 year old female Ebby is still slinking around and hissing. Moose of course thinks he owns the place (at 16 lbs he doses generally get his way. The others are about 5lbs. ) I figure this winter when every one has to be in the house is when we will have the problems.
Yes I let them outside , I have a fenced yard and a lot of sr apartments that do not allow pets (so some one always comes home smelling of tuna) I have even been calling the kids in at night and had one of the sr. ask if the cat could stay to visit longer . I had to put a sign up in their landury room with pics telling them the kids have to be home by 9pm for dinner and be in for the night.
I say get another kitty .
