I’m potentially about to get a new addition to household
Already have a 10 year old female - we had to have our male cat who was 14 put to sleep 4-5 months ago
For context they tolerated each other but never really got on
The kitten we are considering is male around 18 weeks old (so not just leaving mum) and is being re homed for what appears to be genuine reasons
I’m stressing about how older cat will react - I could keep an eye on them for first day or so but after that could keep them separate whilst at work - and keep introducing them to each other every evening for a few days
Or I could just leave them to it to sort out for themselves - it’s a big enough house that they could avoid each other
How soon should I let him out? He’s been microchipped and vaccinated
Any name suggestions too? Our theme has always been old fashioned peoples names - last male was James, our female is Evie
He is grey and white - suggestions so far are Thomas (not sure re Tom kitten) or Henry which would remind me of the vacuum
DD suggested Reuben but DS is not keen
