IMO it was harder to introduce the kittens to my house than the older cats.Originally posted by weniki30
I think Baby will be less threatened by a kitten than a cat that is a year old or older.
So, I am looking for young cats that Baby might take under her wing, rather push them out of her territory.
Personality is more important than age to ensure good friends.
Also a proper introduction...that means placing new cats in an spare room with food, water, litter tray and toys.
Then when they are settled which for some cats will be days and for others weeks.
Slowly swap scents from the spare room to the rest of the house by swaping items from one area to the other.
Start by swaping toys, then swap soiled litter, swap cats and finally supervised playsessons.
A slow introduction will allow your cat to slowly adjust to the new cats/kittens.
As you are not set on a tiny kitten and cats are kittens up to 2 years.
I would look for a kitten between 9 months and a year old, as many unsuitable owners start to give up their kittens at this age.
All the best
