Thread: 2nd MC advice needed

I have 2 litter boxes one downstairs which all 4 use with no probs (i remove every number 2 a.s.a.p) and the other is upstairs in my daughters room were they are shut in of a night because the cat flap is unlocked for the girls to go out plus ronnie n reggie wind the girls up and they bop em so its safer at thd moment to have them shut away at night time,
as for water bowl my 4 dogs and 4 cats all share a huge metal water bowl lol, but again the kittens have extra bowl upstairs for when there shut in at night
as for neutring can not help you there as my lil ones have not been done yet there booked in though when there 6months old the girls of course got done years ago lol

Providing you introduce the new kitten carefully, you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure that contact between the two is supervised for the first few days, and that both cats get equal attention, maybe with Casco getting a bit more to reassure him that you still love him. They should be fine within a couple of weeks, maybe sooner. I have found that neutered boys are generally pretty accepting of newcomers. Good luck.

Weve got two of each at the mo, but have previously had 4 males together. As long as all are neutered there is generally no problems. What Ive found is that when a new kitten arrives(ours will be moving in on Nov 18th) one of the other males will take over the "adopted" parent role.

We just introduced our 3rd girl Loki an MC just over 2 weeks ago to our 2 other girls both of which are domestics and where surprised how quickly they have taken to each other. Taffy the younger of the 2 follows Loki around the house and wrestles with her and they sometimes sleep together. As for feeding we made a point of having them eating close together as soon as possible and now the 3 of them eat in a row which is great. For the first week or so we made a point of keeping Loki separated at night to ensure she didn't get hurt etc but found that Taffy cried for her at night so that didn't last too long. Even Suki the older one has taken to her even thou she will give Loki a boof if she gets pested too much. Right now the 2 of them are lying in 2 beds in the front room.

Thanks guys.

I’ll do as JustMeD suggests and feed them together, I can always change it around if it doesn’t work. Will put an extra litter box out.

I have met the new babe and put a deposit down, he will be joining us next month. I’m so excited, can’t wait to see Casco’s face when he arrives

Sorry Sketches missed out on this thread,reckon you know what my reply is likely to be....the more the merrier. Weird advice from a vet & agree with Antonia they are a pack animal,once you get more than one you will get a pack leader & it isn't always the one you think its going to be either,all of ours have their own feeding station be it in their room or out in the pen & the newest member always learn very quickly where to go & wait for their dish to be put down,I luv feeding time especially night time as it gives me a chance to give them all a special kiss & cuddle. As to neutering do it when you feel the time is right,my last two boys were over a year & it made no difference between them & the other two already neutered males as to leaving them alone when you go back to work hopefully you will have no worries about that by the time your week is up,except for when my numbers went over the three mark I never separated mine at all just let them get on with life from day one,after that I slept them separate for the first couple of nights although they were together during the day & last girl I do admit to having her in a cage in the cats bedroom at night because with the two bruvs taking over her welfare I don't think she would have had any peace....Like Steve we have the odd family difference but mostly its bliss for us to enjoy so many MC furries so look forward to seeing your new babe & pictures of Casco enjoying a new friend.....x

Just found these,Ruby arrived about 7pm one evening & spent her first couple of hours behind the settee,after spending her first night in the cage in the cats room she came out in the morning & hid up behind the settee again so went & put a load of toys in a carrier bag & threw it down,the other cats came & made a lot of noise which drew her out,although I stayed in the room while the bag was there once they were all obviously happy with the new babe & she them I removed the carrier & left them too it,no looking....!
