Does anyone have advice / experience concerning the acclimation of an existing cat to a newcomer, and vice versa?
This morning, I was out by the interstate with a local group picking up litter. Heard a cat's cry, and found the most adorable, fluffy grey kitten shivering in the ditch. Long story short, I took the cat home. We already have an awesome 11-month old grey tabby, but I'm not sure how she will react to the newcomer. The tabby was born in a house with dogs and other animals, but hasn't been around them for 8-9 months. Especially since the new kitten is SO tiny (my guess is a month old at the very most), it'd be easy for the tabby to do some damage if it wanted to. I've read some articles on the subject, any advice you guys can offer? Thanks in advance.
