Bringing home a new kitty

If you are wondering what is the right cat for you, this is the place to be. In this introductory forum we talk about topics such as breed vs. mix, size, age, grooming, breeders, shelters, rescues as well as requirements for exercise, space and care. No question is too silly here. This particular forum is for getting and giving helpful, nice advice. It is definitely not a forum for criticizing someone else's opinion, knowledge or advice. This forum is all about purring and learning.

Ok i want to bring home another cat. Hes an 8yo large male and is neutered. He gets along well with the other cats, and hes large so he may not freak out about Thornes size. I know i need another litter box but is there anything else i need?

Eko's mom here. One important thing is to have a room where the new cat can be separate from the existing cat for several days or weeks, however long the introduction takes. Just read up on cat introductions (going slowly is strongly advised.) I found a lot of good advice on the internet which helped me get through two introductions of new cats recently. Good luck! I bet they will enjoy each other once they get their initial hisses out of the way. (Well, that's how it has turned out for us anyway!)

It'd probably be a good idea to get another food dish too, that way they can eat at the same time without any competition.
