Advice pleaseRight. This boy is available near me - 'due to child's illness'.  He's 6 months old, used to cats and dogs. My OH has fallen for his picture (he's wanted a longhair or semi longhair for ages - Maine Coon etc). Is 6 months young enough to integrate easily? (remember 2 old girl cats - 16 + 18 and teenage cat-friendly staffie). I'd hate to offer him a home and find he was just a wreck who hid upstairs away from everyone. I presume that when I get ginger (hopefully very shortly)(as a little kitten) they will bond, as the 'young boys'? Any advice, particularly from anyone with similar experience, gratefully received.

They are still quite young and 'kitteny' at 6 months old, however personally, I think it easier to integrate a much younger kitten. He is a lovely looking boy. He seems very big and mature looking for 6 months old  Good luck if you decide to go for him DM!! |

I thought he looked more than 6 months too, even allowing for his fluff! (Maybe that is a child-sized chair he's sitting in, which is distorting our ideas?) I think my original - and long thought-over - decision, to get the two kittens to form the younger contingent of the family, is the best way forward. Kit is very gorgeous though, and I'm not much of a fluff-lover! |

He is a beauty...can see why your OH is drawn to him. Six months is still very young but it would depend when you got your ginger baby. I would say that there is every chance that the two younguns would bond...but it may well be easier bringing two small kittens in together. It is a tricky decision and going with him may be harder work.....but might be worth it in the long run |
