Regarding Other Cats Meeting Litter Of Kittens...

[AmyQ]

Hi guys. Very quick question...
I have a litter of 22 day old ragdoll kittens. When is it ok to start introducing my two, 6 months old bengal kittens? They are housecats and fully vaccinated, very sociable.

Hi! They're bengals? How rough do they play with each other?

You may want to wait a while, those tinies are fragile. Plus being ragdolls, they won't have the personality to be able to fend off rough play from the older kitties until they themselves are quite a bit older, ....if ever....

That's my two cents anyway. Pictures of your two crews would be fantastic

I generally keep new litters separated from other cats in the household until they are fully vaccinated and have functioning immune systems, 12-16 weeks of age.

Thank you so much for the quick reply!
Yes the Bengal's are brother and sister. They do play quite rough with each other, but Khali (ragdoll mum) adores them and has no problems putting them in their place so far. But yes I was worried about them being rough with the babies, hence why I asked lol. They've grown since these pics...

Haha thank you. They were actually a sad story. We reserved Saffy when she was born as we always wanted a blue eyed snow. Then when we went to pick her up these two were very sick. Infected eyes and skin, chronic diarrhoea, full of worms, not weaned or litter trained, dehydrated, malnourished and very tiny for their age (both under 500g it was horrific). So we took them both and spent months and a small fortune getting them right. These pics are their first couple of weeks...
