Hi all,
I have a beautiful 13 month old Bengal Simby and a wonderfull old
18 year old Siamese Taji.
I also have a 14 year old Bengal who is now living with my brother and his
family as an only cat.. I had to remome him .he is happy and I can still see him.
The problem is that the when I brought in the Kitten at 4 months old
the Siamese 18 accepted him...Although I thought The older bengal did also
as the kitten made him chase him ect..but he started spraying all over my house I tried everything inc..meds..
it got worse and worse he even went behind my head on a plastic sheet when I was sleeping.. Since being with my brother he is fine...
He did not miss a spot..
it took me months of throwing out and cleaning
I was shell shocked..
However, Now I am seeing my young bengal only wanting to play with me
or constantly being with the old 18 year old ..that sadly cannot play but loves him to peices..
But I see Simby gently trying to play with him..
I am feeling that Simby would probably love a playmate as he wants
to play and his tempermeant is lovely..he is a big mush!
I am thinking should I adopt a kitten/young cat...ect...
I am sure my old guy will not be a problem but I wonder if it is me
that thinks I should do this...I don't Know if the young bengal will spray
as he did not at 10 months old but he did see and smell the older bengal
Spray...
Do you think I am making a mistake as I am feeling he might be so lonely
when and if Taji Passes on one day
as he is so playful but is getting lazy if I don't play with him I am Da Birded
out!
I know Taji will not be with me forever and being 18 would it be
better to get a kitten now Or wait.Or never getting one I am so worried he will feel alone without a cat ..Fearing that seperation anxiety
would be worse.. And The spraying issue is in my mind..
I would appreciate any advice you all can give me

I really can't tell you enought how sweet both these cats are.
I have never seen a Bengal as sweet as he ..although I am sure
they are out there..
