He'll be fine - all cats take some time to adjust to one another but generally end up getting along just fine.
She may knock him around a little, but he'll learn to keep out of her way and she'll learn to be more tolerent of him being so small.

dont worry the kitten will be fine.
some people think cats are beter off in doors anyway and i half agree, i had 4 cats and i only have 1 now. the others all got run over and i didnt live on a main round back then. not 1 reach their 3rd birthday. My cat that is left is now 7 and since we have moved she only goes out if we make her, and she was a outdoors cat before.
now the kitten has company which is good. someone to play with is beta than being on her own.

Well given that the kitten is only 5 months old there is hope...I had a cat who had outside access for 2 years and then we moved to another appartment on the 3rd floor. He went absolutely crazy and was crying night and day. It almost sounded like he was screaming. We tried to get him to get used to a life inside, but that didnt work.
But like I said, your kitten is still young, so if you stay consistent and have a lot of patient it might work. I would suggest playing with the kitten a lot and occupying him, so he wont get bored...

He should adapt well. Neutering him will also supress his instinct to want to roam and mark. With proper exercise and stimulation, cats can live perfectly happy, healthy lives indoors. I once took in a stray that had been hanging around the house, and once she was inside she would run away from the front door when it was opened. She wanted nothing to do with outside. She realized she had the good life.

The kitten will do fine. I have two cats and both of them were outside cats, one of the was even a stray cat i found in a gutter and she adapted within a day or two.

Long as he learns the new family rules, like litter boxes but that should be natural. My cat's mother was a stray and she adapted fine to family life.

yes and no, it can apdapt, as it is very small, but will need introdusing to the other cat, are you sure its not got a owner! take it to the vets to see if its microchiped, also if its used to going out then it may be a little harsh.

Yes, she will adapt. It will be harder at first, but soon she will be fine.

i suppose so. if it doesn't get comfortable try take extra care for it, often play with it and of course feed it.
