So the countdown begins.

Seven days till I pick up Smudge's kitten from the shelter. It'll be as young as I can get, as to bring out some maternal instinct.
It's kind of a gamble. I hope they'll become fast friends and playmates; I can't bear Smudges crying and howling since her friend was taken from her. I can't be her cat friend. Oh well. Here goes.

Good luck!

I have a new kitten in my family. Cleo, the new cat, who looks like an Egyptian cat who has way too much spunk, at 6 mos old for even me; even though I love it. I've taken him in at once to give my cat a friend but also as it's my ex's Dad's cat and he has cancer. The cat scratches and bites and bites! He can't have that while he is about to go through Chemo again....

So while this works, my cat needs a buddy, and I want to help them. I was sitting on the fence about another cat for awhile! I'm happy I have him now

Kitten is a good choice. They might not be so ready to accept another adult cat, but most cats do accept kittens.

Mine did. When I brought him home, he tried nursing off her, but she was having no part of that. So he tried sucking her toes, she allowed that. Four years later, he still does it.

@Serenitree I'll check it out on advisement.

@Cavedweller It's available as an ebook if that's interests you.

@Serenitree That does interest me.

can you take smudge to the shelter to meet kittens you may pick and see if smudge fancies one.
Cavedweller · 46-50, F
@Butterflykisses24 She doesn't travel well. Really distresses her, so I'll just choose one and hope for the best.

@Cavedweller good luck

@Butterflykisses24 Ta, Daisy. I'll post pics.

Oh that will be awesome I am excited for you and Smudge! 🐈

@SW-User Cheers, Blue! I'll keep you posted. Little does she know, as she naps on my lap, that her whole world is about to change..
Kittens adapt easier. Awwwww, good luck. Is this her kitten u are bringing back? or a new one? just curious.
Cavedweller · 46-50, F
@JustLikeGreta A new one. Have you heard of Koko's kitten? It's kind of like that. Except Smudge isn't a lowland gorilla.
@Cavedweller yes have seen Kokos kitten. Good luck to all.

@JustLikeGreta Thanks, Greta. 🐱

What was her friend? Not a cat, or you'd have said. Rat? Hamster?
Serenitree · F
@Cavedweller Oh, that's great. She has had experience with a kitten in the past. She won't feel threatened. She might, very briefly feel put upon,,but she'll get over that in a mighty quick minute.
Cavedweller · 46-50, F
@Serenitree I reckon she won't be talking to me for a while.
Serenitree · F
@Cavedweller Until she sees a kitten in your lap....then she'll have lots to say. But I don't think it will last more than a day. She will feel compelled to groom the baby. It's what they do.
