Hi all,
I've been debating on whether I should adopt another kitty however, the trouble is if my cat will get along with the newer addition.
My cat came from the local shelter; he was put in there because he fought badly with another cat: he's an alpha and wasn't neutered then. The shelters' personality profile described him as ''menacing'' and recommended that he be a solo cat. He's extremely cuddly, good boy, has never growled or hissed at me, although he has bitten during play.
If I was to adopt, I would have to get a female kitten so as to ensure a submissive pairing, but I don't know how Figo (3-4yrs) would react. My family cats (mother and daughter) never got on, so I know what it's like to have feuding cats - not nice.
I would really like to give one of these kittens a home and new start, but I don't want to upset Figos environment or have an injuried, frightened kitten.
I think I've answered my own questionh here, but what do you guys think?
