Will my 4 month old boy kitten be alright for a week with someone who has three female cats?

Question

will he be ok or will the other cats not be happy

Answer 1

They will tear him to pieces. He will be a stranger in their midst and cats are very protective of their territory. If you have to send him there, make sure he is kept in a cat basket for a while, and only allowed out under supervision. After a couple of days, the other cats will get used to his scent, and he can be gradually let out of his basket for introductory periods. He should integrate quite quickly.

Answer 2

He should be fine hun.

My mom had 3 cats (one recently died, unfortunately) and my male cat went to stay with them when he was about the same age as your cat. He was completely fearless and when he got too much for them, they put him in his place! Don't be too distressed if a lot of hissing goes on - this is normal (especially with females, who often do not take too well to new male cats).

Just make sure that the person who will be looking after your kitten is able to provide a room (even the kitchen) where your kitten will be left when they are asleep or out of the house. They should not leave your kitten alone with the 3 female cats - it's always best to be cautious.

If it helps, my mom just looked after my now 1 year old male cat and my new 9 week old kitten. She kept them separate when she wasn't able to watch them and although a little hissing went on, they all managed to live together for a week.

As long as they won't be left alone together when nobody is able to watch them, they will be fine. In my opinion, having somebody you know (or a professional cat sitter) look after your kitten is much better than sending him to a cattery.

Answer 3

Usually, cats are ready for breeding at 6 months but I'm sure he will have a good try and the 3 females won't be complaining LOL. Why is it that we think it's fun to see a dog go through many bitches and a cat to have many queens (in public places) yet we aren't allowed this? What I'd do for a week with 3 females ;-) LOL

Answer 4

Not Unless Hes Been Netured Or That Someone Will Have 3 Pregant Cats. And Then She'll Probably Have 20 Cats.

Answer 5

W-E-L-L - it all depends. How mature is he sexually?

If he hasn't yet reached puberty he will probably be mothered to death by the females. If he is mature, there could be problems. Are the females spayed?

Hopefully the person who will be in charge of him will pay attention to what is going on and, if necessary, will keep him apart to avoid any problems.

Is it possible for you to have someone go to your home daily to give him food and water and a little attention? Changes in domicile often trouble cats.

Answer 6

female cats are threatened by other females, so if its a male i think they will get along fine, it might be wierd at first but they should do ok...if your giving it away or going out of town tou should take the cat over there an observe it first. also he wont be messing with females or have the urges for awile, not till about 6 to 7 months so you wont have to worry about females getting pregnant

Answer 7

Your cat will be fine but he might be a little uncomfortable being moved to a new location so you should make sure the person watching your kitty will make sure he is eating and such

Answer 8

It depends on how long you have had him,if you have had him for only two months he is only just settling in and to move him and leave him for a week might not be a good idea.

Answer 9

The other cats won't be okay with his presence but if it's only for a week he should be fine, they may hiss and growl at him but as it is only temporary there's nothing major to worry about.

Hope this helps.

Answer 10

He will think its all his birthdays and Christmas's come at once
He will be ok the girls may fight for his attention though
