Keep em' in Separate Rooms for a while until they get used to eachother's scent & presence. Then slowly introduce them until they are comfortable enough to tolerate eachother!

It's like the song says - you gotta keep 'em separated. Try to set up an area for the kitten so the cats can see and smell him but not get at him.
Give the cats a lot of attention so they won't get jealous. It may take up to a month for some cats to stop hating each other, but then one day - bam! - they're best friends. Usually, the worst situation that you'll get is two cats that don't really ever bond, but normally, they'll get to be friends eventually - it's rare that they hate each other permanently.

Well at first your cats will feel threatened so they will probably hiss at it and stuff but they won't hurt the kitten. Just make it as non threatening as you can. Don't give the kitten more attention than them and at first keep the kitten in one room and always close the door. They will start to get curious and want to get in. But make sure at first you monitor your cats and the kitten when they are together until the hissing stops. Eventually the cats will accept the kitten and treat it like it's one of their own.

Yes they prob will. If you are ganna get the kitten you will have to be around to have a close watch. My other 2 cats were so mean to my lil cat that we had to keep the kitten locked up in the bedroom alot. Now hes a bad A**! I say go for it the other cats will open up to the kitten eventualy

You will have to get the cats used to the new kitten. Limit the time that the kitten is around the other cats. And then start letting them spend more time together so that they can get used to each other

Typically not. Animals are very smart, and regardless of the territoriality, they recognize a baby for what it is and generally do not gang up on it. Watch them carefully, and play and socialize with them. They'll allow the kitten entry to the home in no time.
I did the same thing - bought my cat a kitten. She tolerated him well enough. He is now twice her size, and she beats him up all the time....not bad, just slaps him to let him know who is boss. Otherwise, they are perfectly happy...

They will at first, but introduce the kitten to them, but keep them seperate unless you're around. Eventually, they'll get used to it. Females are different from males in that males cats, eps. ones that have not been nuetered will kill kittens. Females won't.

bringing in a kitten is asking for trouble they will probaly gang up on a kitten because it carries a different scent and they are not familiar to it
