Picture of Loki playingHello just seeking some advice.. I have Jatt the friendly kitten I rescued and Loki the feral kitten I rescued .. Jatt is adapting well and loves smooches and is starting to venture from my ensuite and bedroom thru the house .. Cautiously at times but becoming more confident . Beautiful nature. Loki has been hard work and lives in the other bathroom but our relationship has grown where he plays and climbs all over me and eats in my lap and is letting me pat him cautiously but not aggressive or too phased .. I rescued them from the same bush and they could possibly be from the same litter .. My question is can I take Jatt in to visit with Loki ? Would this be good for him? Jatt was hanging around the bathroom door last night while I was in playing with Loki .. Loki could smell Jatt thru the door and was positively curious .. I want to do what's right for Loki. Could Jatts friendly nature and trust in me rub off on Loki and help him too come along quicker? Jatt is great with my big house cat Roos. Advice much appreciated cheers

Here are some tips on introducing the two. Since you are uncertain if they know each other, start slowly and see how it goes. If they do know each other from outside living the process should go very smoothly.
Have they been to the vet for a check up and spay/neuter?

They lived together in the wild. Jatt has had all of his shots and been wormed and de loused but vet said to wait a month before I have him neutered as he was not in great shape when I got him. Locki has been wormed and deloused but due to him being so wild I spoke to the vet about him and we agreed to get him as healthy as we could first and then bring him and do all his shots and neutering at once. He is booked in for next Friday and Jatt the following Friday. Thank you for your reply and links I will follow them up.
