i think my cattes gonna have a new friend sunday night...my mom facetimed me from her heighbors house and shes got a 10 week old fully black kitten who needs a new home and it was fuckin adorable bouncing around and poo poo. i havent committed to it but i have a feeling that if the catte is chill i'll probably take it back to my place. i always felt bad leaving for work or whatever and my catte would like circle around me meowing.

if i do, whats the proper procedure to introduce new kitte to current catte. current catte is bout 2 and a half years old. what should i do about the litterbox situation? there's not really any room to get a second one, i've had 2 cats years ago when i lived at home and they shared a box just fine.

ima get one of those kickin rad scratching posts with a cubby on top they can crawl in.

oh here:

Eggplant Wizard posted:
When you bring a new cat into your household, both it and your other cats will probably be upset. You would be too if someone thrust a roommate on you. You can minimize the stress by making the introduction gradually.

Stage 0: Acceptance of terms
There will be lots of hissing. This does not mean you are doomed.

Stage 1: Seclusion
Keep the new cat separate from the other cat(s). Make sure it has all the necessities- food, water, litter, attention. Choose somewhere you can hang out with new cat and get to know it, but not your other cat's favorite hangout, either. The cats will all know the others are there, but this stage allows them to get comfortable with there being other scents around. Try switching out each cat's bedding so they can sniff at it. You might also try giving them their meals on either side of a closed door, so they associate food with the new cat's smell. You can switch the cats out to explore each other's areas and get used to scents & places that way, too.

This stage can last a couple of hours to a week or so. You will have to use your judgment on when to advance. If both cats seem comfortable and curious, rather than totally anxious, continue on.

Stage 2: Supervised introductions
Pretty much what it says. Let the cats meet. There will almost certainly be hissing and maybe even some swatting. It's okay to laugh when their tails puff up. You can let these introductions last as long as you like, depending on how the cats interact. The rule of thumb is not to separate them unless (a) you can't be present to supervise anymore or (b) violence erupts.

Violence is not swatting and hissing and puffing up, or even growling and yowling, necessarily. If blood is drawn or the yowls seem to indicate pain rather than aggression, then it's absolutely time to separate them and return to stage 1 for a while.

This stage might last as little as one or two meetings, or it could go on for weeks. If it drags beyond a week please ask and see if we can make some suggestions to make things go more smoothly.

Stage 3: Kitten piles
As the introductions go better and last longer without incident, you will feel comfortable leaving the cats alone, and from there they'll probably soon reach a level of toleration, if not immediate kitten piles. Kitten piles may never happen, honestly, and that's not your fault. If they do, great!

woah this is my same exact situation.

i let my kitten chill in a saferoom for a few days to get the smell of my house on him/etc.

then i introduced him to my older cat, my older cat is like a gentle giant and just stared him down for a few minutes. he was really upset that night and threw up all over the place.
the next day my older cat went into the safe room and smelled my smaller cat

the day after that they got along better and played alot but they are still kind of weird around each other

also: kittens only have 2 speeds super playful and sleepy so be warned about that

they seem to be becoming bros as the days go on. kittens are super playful and annoy big cats sometimes when they just want to relax

there is no relaxing for my 2 year old shes crazy.

so i ended up buying this just now http://www.amazon.com/Armarkat-Tree-Model-A5201-Beige/dp/B003BYQ13M/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1 based off the goon recommendations. i have a scratching post for her but come on, that thing looks like so much fun. if i was a cat i'd be all over that poo poo.

also, that automatic laser pointer thing in the PI thread that gyrates is freaking genius and hilarious. i mean, it takes the fun out of pointing the laser at my friends' crotches, but for lazy-time that's a great idea. it's cheap, maybe i'll get one some day.

also bought a new normal laser pointer. i broke my old one. i got a purple one for 10 bucks, never seen a purple one.

here's a question: since it'll be sunday afternoon when i meet the kitten, i can put the kitten in my room for a few hours but there's no way i'll be able to keep them apart for longer than that and i work on monday...is that a bad thing? would it be better to maybe wait until next saturday or something?

she's doing better now that we're back home from vacation, thanks! she was fighting the insulin shots when my parents were pulling diabetic duty; since we've been home, she hasn't given us any trouble.

weirdest thing happened a couple nights ago, though. Ici went into the rabbit cage and pissed. She's never ever done anything like this before. She did it in plain sight of us (while the rabbit was in his cage, up on his shelf!), and it's not like she doesn't have a litter box. Idk what the hell to think.
