I have a 7 year old cat, who I love dearly. I just got 2 new kittens. Does anyone have any advice on to integrate my feline family.

I have been told to 1st let them get use to each other smells.


I have the kitten in a seperate room in which Fran (my 7 year old cat) can sniff the kittens. How long should I do this?


and how should I introduce them?

Please advise.

Just bring them out!!!

they'll find their place..

hi its been awhile since i had cats. but yes do that first keep them seperate especially at night when u go to sleep. but when ur up an keep an eye on them let them all near each other till they get use to each other. but just wait if no changes they ask your vet hope that helps

just bring them out slowly. maybe 1/2 hr at time.
they wil get used to each other. i bring mine to my grand mothers house. and she has a cat. they wil hid until they get used to each other.

The 2 kittens should be no problem together. The older cat is probably going to be jealous and hiss, growel and spit at the others and maybe even strike at them. Whatever you do, do NOT lock the older cat up in a room as it will feel punished. You never want that cat to feel "unloved" because you've brought newbies in. When you let the kittens out with you and the older cat be giving the older one love so that it sees you arent upset with it. It should take just a couple of times to get them used to each other. I had two older cats and my boyfriend brought in a kitten and at first they wanted nothing to do with it but then one of them actually attempted to nurse it (tho she was fixed and had no milk) she was accepting it. The cat I have now let me know in no uncertain terms that another cat was not allowed in the house. Didnt go after the kitten... came after me and probably would've killed me in my sleep if I had let the kitten stay. Each cat is different though... Good Luck!!
