Introducing kittens to a 3 cat household

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

We just adopted two 3-month old kittens into our household of 3 adult cats (ages 3, 2, and 1).  The kittens are quarantined and will be for another week or so.  Will my adults (none of whom are aggressive but all of whom are rambunctious) instinctively know to be gentle with the little ones or will we have to be ultra vigilant until the little ones gain some size?  We can keep the kittens in our office when we are not home, but once we've sprung them from quarantine I will feel bad about confining them unless it is necessary.

I would just go ahead and let em meet and watch em awhile. I know it hasn't been advised but I have always just acted like the new ones have always lived here and luckily, have never had a problem. They will be fine after a day or two and will start realizing their roles in the dominance tree. Have never had a huge fight. I think we worry more than they do.
