Nita, first of all, welcome to Pet Talk. And being from Spain, perhaps you are the first Spanish member?

I think whenever a person brings in a new kitten, with another cat already in the house, there is always the possibiltiy of incompatibility between the two cats. But if they are kittens then they can more easily learn to be with each other, play and live together without much disagreements. It is the older cats that may have trouble adjusting to a newcomer. So, generally I'd say get another kitten, and I don't believe you will regret it. If problems occur you may have to keep them separate for a while. Yet, when I brought Snow Tiger home, I turned him loose with the other kittens, and he adjusted in about 7 days with no other behavioral problems. The most significant problem I had with him was his constant hissing and threats against those who wanted to eat from the same bowl. This is probably due to those who had him before I took him in, did not feed him much, if anything at all! Remembering the first thing he did was to eat up half a bowl of dry cat food after I first let him out of the carrier box. Hungry kittie! He was probably afraid of not having enough to eat and therefore hissed at the others at their special feeding time.
