Seeing a kitten this morning in the same place where I found an abandoned kitten last year has got me thinking, should I consider another kitten. Here is the situation
I have one cat Kabuki, that my dog found last year. She fits in well and has the run of the house.
I have 4 dogs that live in the house and they all get along well.
All of my pets go to the vet at least once a year for check ups and vaccines, they are all neutered
When we are gone, Kabuki stays in her bedroom with her litter box, food, water, tree, toys but is alone for 8 hours a day.
I have been reading that adding a female kitten isn't a good idea.
I am primarily a dog person so forgive the noob questions
Should I get her a playmate? I think a kitten would be the most appropriate
Should I only consider a male?
Can the share a litter box and food dishes?
I clean the litter box twice a day and she gets new food and water dishes daily?
If I find out the kitten is abandoned I would rather keep her than turn her in to the humane society. If I don't see it again , I would adopt from the humane society or craigslist.
any thoughts no matter how honest are appreciated
thanks
David
