Hello there,

One of my friend would like to eventually adopt one of my kittens when they
are ready to go to new homes (8-12 weeks, right?). She already has a male
cat (neutered) that is almost 2 years old, and 2 females (spayed). If she
adopts one of my male kittens, (that she will have neutered too) will she
end up with territorial problems between the males? Will they spray more?
Can other problems occur? Should she adopt a female instead?

Thank you,
Mia, Misha and the bunch


It depends on a couple of things, IMO. The specific personality of the resident
cats, and how careful and slow she introduces New Kitten. My boys are very
accepting of interlopers. Bootsie's not, but it never goes beyond hissing and
swatting. It takes her at least a month to accept the newbies. Mine never have
sprayed over a new cat.
