Getting another cat?

two weeks old is VERY young, really too young to be away from the mother - unless you are prepared for a certain amount of bottle feeding, I would be wary... Now, yes, a grown cat will be jealous, at least for a while. When we brought in Kismet this summer, most of the big cats were "oh, another one" but Daisy had only had one other kitten come in and she was only about 6 months then, now she was over a year. She didn't like her at first, tho Sparky loved her, he was about 9 months. Now that she's been here a while, everyone that is going to accept her has done so. Yes, Diva and Zhaan won't ever accept her, but the rest either play with her, put up with her or ignore her.

I lost my cat few months ago and I am waiting for a new kitten until it can be separated from the mother. I am not sure if cats also get jealous, but I also observed that with our dogs. Each time we have new puppies the adult one get jealous. I am waiting for my kitten and I hope you will adopt the new kitten too :) have a good day jaiho®

Yes, we just recently added a kitten to our two cats. They get feisty for awhile but do get used to having another one around. I think it is sad to only have one animal. Two of anything seems so much nicer for the animals. They have someone to hang out with and be with. Only seems right.

Kittens cannot be taken away from their mother at that age. I hand raised my boy, because he and his siblings were found, and there was no mama cat. My friend and I managed to keep the entire litter, except for one kitten, alive. However, that is not something that should ever be done unless there is no mother cat in the picture. My cats are used to other cats and dogs... and the oldest two have lived with rats, geckos, ferrets, gerbils... Well, let's just say "zoo" and leave it at that. Introducing a kitten to a cat can be easier than bringing in another adult, because he/she isn't as much of a threat. The adult tends to fall into a nurturing role. At least, that's the way that it has generally worked with the cat crew. Sure, my youngest has gotten swatted a few times for being a brat, but she was generally accepted from the beginning; I introduced her when she was about five months old. She is now a kitten-brained two-year old... and she still gets a paw to the head from time-to-time.

A lot of times an animal will adjust to new ones in the home. At least that has been my experience. Maybe you could get the kitten on a trial basis to see what happens. Who kniows, they may become best buds.
