Do you think Oreo will give the kitten a problem?
I should be getting the kitten the end of Oct or Nov.
I know the other 3 cats will be ok with it.
Sasha did his at Oreo at first but they became good friends.
Sould I seperate Oreo at first and go slowly with her?

It can take a month or more to introduce a new cat into the household. The newcomer needs to be separated for quite awhile. While separated, encourage positive associations between the cats by doing pheromone exchanges, having them eat treats on both sides of the clothes door, but near the door, encouraging them to play with toys together under the door, etc. It's important to not hurry the process...

You are on Cat Time!

Thanks,
I will go slow.
The first thing I will do is have it checked out by my Vet.
I do not want to bring any illnesses into our House.
