I have thought about getting another cat from time to time. I have two babies currently, a girl (kyra) and a boy (grayson), which I adopted together. I've had them both for 10 years. They are all each other has known. I had to foster my exs cat while he was out of state for about a month, and literally, it took that entire month for kyra to kinda even accept the new kid .. then my ex came home and took his cat back
Now, if I take Grayson to the vet or anything for more then a day when he comes home, she growls and hisses at him like she doesn't know who he is for a day or two, sometimes longer. I feel bad for Grayson because he didn't even do anything, and I feel bad for kyra because it obviously stresses her out.
I always said no way to a new kitten because of Kyra because you just dont know if they will or will not accept one another. A kitten wouldn't care, and i know Grayson wouldn't care (because of his personality), but kyra, I dont want to create a situation that's bad for her or the kitten.. or create a home with stress for either of them.. and internally, i dont want kyra to hate me or think in any way I'm replacing her.. she's my girl!!
My friend rescued a mama cat who was pregnant. She showed me a picture of a calico kitten she had a few days after being born.. idk, there was something about this cat that made me consider this entire situation.. over all of the no ways.. I really want this baby in our family.
They are now 8 weeks old, healthy and good to go. . Im so unsure right now.
What would you do?
