I had two cats- my 6 month old kitten passed away recently and suddently from FIP. My remaining cat Kara misses her buddy to play with and we really miss having 2 kitties. Kara is somewhere around 2 years old I think.
If we decided to get another cat in the next few months (the SPCA said we can have another cat for free) would you get a male or female?
Kara got along great with my male kitten- she hissed at him for 1 day and then they were fine. The kitten actually ended up being the more dominant one.
I'm just totally stressed about getting another kitten- I'm so scared it will die of something and I would be devastated. My fiance would prefer a kitten, though. I always thought intros went better with a kitten, but I read somewhere that adult cats can get annoyed by kittens so it's not the best scenario.
If I decide to get a cat around 1 year old do you think a male is better? or female? or does it even matter? For example, if I saw an adult female at the SPCA in a cage with other female cats, then she should hopefully be o.k. with Kara, right?
