Hi All,
I have a lovely 15 year old tortie and our friends cat has just given birth to a gorgeous litter of kittens and asked if we would like one in about 16 weeks time.
Ive gone back and forth about the idea as I do not want to stress my girl out as I understand a kitten is totally different from a senior cat but I have read that cats are better in pairs.
My girl lives a very sedentary life (house cat), likes to play on her terms which isnt very often. She came to us 6 years ago during lock down so we've had her from an adult. She can still be spritley at times ie, jumping from heights still, running around post poo zoomies.
I just worry she is lonely during the day at times. Ive worked from home since she came to us (previous owner died and owner before that too 😫) and shes quite content to relax next to me but when I am on a call she can meow because shes not the centre focus of my attention.
Has anyone introduced a kitten to their senior? how did it go for you? I wont even entertain the idea of getting one if its going to cause her stress as shes had a tough life as it is let alone a kitten coming in and ruining things 😫🤣
Id love to hear your thoughts 🩷
