Well it depends on the cat. Is your adult male young or old? Playful or not? As far as cats go usually any older cat will take to a kitten mainly because the kitten is not going to go away or give up. Kittens being the playful little pets that they are dont change because they are neutered or spayed, and you shouldnt really have any negative reactions from your male cat unless he was already acting weird for whatever reason. All of my cats are neutered or spayed and I havent really ever noticed any difference in their personalities before or after the procedure. Your adult male cat should be just fine! SLP

this depends on the disposition of the male cat, and the time he was neutered. testosterone in a neutered cat is still around for up to three months. although the gender of the kitten should not greatly imact on the cats acceptance of the kitten. although as a female kitten is more likley to accept the dominece of the male cat this is unlikly to cause serious conflict between the animals however if you were to introduce a male kitten into this enviroment the kitten would in time try to seize dominace from the older cat. introducing the cats in a mutual place is best as if you were to introduce the kitten into a space which is "owned" by the existing cat their could be conflict. say my cats bed and food is in the laundry, i would not introduce the kitten in the laundry but rather in the lving room where the 'mine instincts' in the cat are somewhat less than in the laundry. also making sure that both cats have a place free from each other to escape to. making this transition smooth.

He'll react normally, depending on his temperament. From the usual territorial spats to deciding that maybe the brat can stay. Some years ago I had a neuterred male when a female kitten was introduced to the household- and after some hissing and spitting he decided to take care of her.

We have just done exactly this, our male cat is 1 year old and neutered, at first he was aggresive to the kitten but now after just 4 weeks they are finally staying in the same room without him attacking her. the vet said it is a dominence thing, at times we thought he was trying to mate her but the vet said not he was just being dominent making her submit, did not look pretty and we screamed at him a few times. you must just let them have little supervised visits each time, do not feed them together, our kitten is now 10 weeks old and for the first time today he came in and they took no notice of each other which is great but has taken a lot of worrying time. hope this helps.

To make it simple depends on your older cat and how Territorial he is. How he reacts will depend on your attention to him. Don't stop petting him and go to the kitten. Don't feed the kitten near his food dish at first. Just use your common sense and watch and see how it goes. But give it a little time. He may even swat at the kitten, see how the kitten reacts.

ahead of bringing cat #2 and cat #3 into my homestead, I did somewhat some learn on introducing a sparkling cat to the enjoyed ones. I by no ability ran throughout the time of any advice that an preliminary undesirable initiate meant everlasting doom - quite, you in basic terms ought to decelerate the approach and have interaction in somewhat some the creation "steps" for an prolonged volume of time. relying on the cats' temperaments, this is possible it may desire to take 4 to 6 weeks. in view which you have in basic terms had the hot cat some days, it sounds such as you're speeding issues and that i might take their reaction as a sign which you will no longer take any shortcuts in the creation technique. i will spare you a reiteration of the stairs of the creation technique, because it style of feels you have been able to looking that counsel. from time to time you could take short cuts and from time to time you could no longer. probably the main sound advice i could desire to grant is to talk this over inclusive of your Vet - the two they are in a position to have something to furnish, or they are in a position to even hire a behaviourist who makes a speciality of those form of matters.

Generally they will "hate" each other at first but should get over this fairly quickly. To help ease this transition put a little perfume or cologne on both of their heads and backs. This covers their own natural scent and when the smell alike they will get along much quicker. This helps breakdown the territorial factor which is why they don't get along at first.

some although castrated will get a little excited with smells. he may try and mount her but nothing can result! if this happens monitoring is a must or he may hurt her.
some male castrated cats don't bat an eyelid and just get there nose put out of joint with a new arrival.

just like any other cat. He is neutered, so he wont be thinking about mating.
