Re: I need your help!


How exciting for you; hope you can find a a kitten thru CP! I don't think the sex matters especially; I find males are more affectionate, but after some initial hissing and spitting they should get along and bond. And as Angie said, it is so much fun to watch them playing and sleeping together. Good luck!

Re: I need your help!


Please dont go getting/buying a kitten through free ads etc, it only encourages indiscriminate and poor breeding practices.
My personal experience has been that male cats are much more accepting than females.
Please go to CP, RSPCA or any small independant rescues in your area.
All the very best, it's exciting getting a new pet. xxx

Great news, hope you are lucky and find that playmate soon.

CP/RSPCA/Vets all good places to start. In the past I've introduced almost any combination you can think of and I do think in the main, males are a bit more accepting.

Good luck.

Re: I need your help!


Its lovely that you are going to get a playmate for you kitten. I think its a good idea getting a male as females tend to be very bossy when they come too a established cat home. I did buy my first cat kado of the net and troy and chester but i wouldnt again. Kado had an eye infection and i had too take him too the vets the next day. With that and neutering/injections it cost me well over £150. Dont get me wrong but you might get an A! kitten straight away but if you go to a rescue at least they would have been health checked. Can we have pics when you get one
