Just curious question: While it's obvious cats are not pack animals and would take some time accepting a feline newcomer. Dogs it seems if *raised properly for the most part will accept a new dog at any point in its life, being socially conditioned for it.
Question is: At what point (age) does a cat no matter how much conditioning (Separation, Scent familiarization, site swaping) reject a feline new comer? 5YRS, 10YRS? I've heard the first the first few weeks (4-12) of a cats life are important because if socialized around a lot of different people, other animals, other cats will determine if its a skiddish or social cat.
