Advice for adopting a kitten with a cat already in the home
I know this is a foster thread, but I feel like you guys give the best advice so I'm posting this here.
I'll be adopting a kitten at the end of August. I have a female spayed cat who's 8 years old. I want to choose the best kitten for her and I'm thinking it will be easier for her to adapt/not feel intimidated if I get one that's very young/small. Do you think it would be better to get a male or female kitten? Or do you think the gender won't affect her?
I will have about a week and a half after adopting the kitten to be at home 24/7 and not have to leave for any obligations.
Also, I would like tips for a proper introduction. I live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment.
I will also be buying a separate feeder and litter box for the kitten. Is it safe to put the litter boxes next to each other?
My cat also has a large climbing cat tower. Can they share it or should I buy another one?
