Hello Everyone!
I have one cat- a big 3 year old tabby male- who has been an 'only child' since we bought him when he was seven weeks old. We are thinking of adopting a female cat of about the same age from a local barn. She has lived with another cat her whole life, and currently lives in a horse barn, with no house access. She has recently decided she wants to be a house cat (she loves to cuddle and tries to get into the neighbours houses, scaring their cats
) and is looking for a new home.
I'm wondering if they could get along, and if the move is even worth considering. I'd love to adopt her because she may end up in a shelter if she cannot find a new home.
Both cats are fixed, but have fairly opposite personalities. My tabby had a very intense relationship with our neighbours little girl-cat before she was fixed (he mounted her many times, even though he been fixed for about a year) and has many other cat friends so he seems get along well with cats... (although he did have a series of fights with an intact tom in the area over his girl-cat friend, and won) but he doesn't like strange people...
Any suggestions or info would be a great help, i've been reading lots of threads about introducing new cats but I'm still unsure...
Thanks!
