We had always had male cats. No issues with them getting along. When we have brought home new ones, it would take a while for them to warm up to one another but they always have(as dog said, they act weird for a while/month/months). Then we adopted 2 feral female kittens(probably 4 or 5 weeks old). They were ok for a while but the feral never left them. They are territorial and attack the slider when they see our favorite cat, Dennis, waiting to come in. They HATE Dennis. They are like trying to pick up water when I try to pick them up. I can’t get them into a pet carrier without bleeding so they don’t go to the vet. They also stink sometimes. Their coats are coarse and cause my wife to sneeze. I don’t know if all their faults are because they are female or they were feral but we will never get female cats again. As a bonus, one got crystals in her urine so now they get fed special food. We thought we were doing the right thing by adopting them but no good deed goes unpunished. I’d recommend getting another male cat. Ours like to hunt outside together. The girls are strictly indoor cats(by their own choice)…Welcome to our little slice of paradise Joe. Glad you like the place.
Have a lady bringing by another cat later today as Kevin needs a playmate. I have been using a service called Petfinder. I like it because the cats are kept in foster homes vs a shelter. I think they get better care there and aren't as traumatized as a shelter cat.
She is actually bringing two females....Whitney and Grace.....this is gonna be interesting. Glad this is happening today as I will be trimming tomorrow ans the house will smell like pot.
