Hi!
I have had my 3 1/2 month old kitten for about a month now and I absolutely adore her. We're pretty bonded and she looks to me to play with her all the time, which I love. I didn't adopt her, a friend of mine gave her to me since she was the last kitten in the litter that couldn't be adopted. Lately I have been considering getting her a friend so that she has a playmate for when I'm not around. Also, I want her to play with another kitten so she can learn how to play nicely, even though she's not really aggressive. I just would like to hear some adoption stories from other people who have added another kitten to their family. Is there a certain sex I should adopt? Are they likely to get along if they are both around the same age? Does the new kitten have to be seen by a vet before i bring it home to my current kitten or will they be healthy since they were being cared for at the shelter? I know that it's best to gradually introduce them, but I live in a studio apartment so I can't really separate them. Any advice would be much appreciated!
