I have a 6-7mnth old male kitten and he is not fixed yet but he is getting fixed next week, but I really want another kitten to keep him company i know I heard that it is best to get one the same age but my friend has a kitten in her backyard actually there are 2 and she knows someone who wants one and i really want to take the other one I hate to think of the little baby out there alone esp after someone takes the other one but does it matter that he is a baby my kitten really has not been around other animals I recuded him when he was real little and I am affraid of his reaction also does it make a difference if the new kitten is a boy or a girl We dont know what sex the other kitties are yet we are in process of just trying to catch them by trying to feed and get them used to us first any help would be appreciated

I have introduced kittens and cats of all ages to each other with very few problems. Yes, you will have hissing, spitting and maybe an argument or two, but eventually the kitten and your male will get along. I would not bring the kitten into the house until after you get your boy fixed. Right now I have 2 males and a female and they all get along great. I have introduced males to females, males to males, females to females and except for the typical hissing and spitting for about a week, it has worked.

Well I won't offer advice. I'll just say my story which is I got a month old kitten to be the friend to my 2 year old cat. They're alittle friendly with each other NOW but they don't cuddle. They can sit next to each other on the window sill and the food bowls and the litter box but in the beginning the cat hated the kitten but she got over it. I just let them work things out by themselves for the most part

I got a 2nd cat after my 1st one was over 6 yrs old. The first one hissed at the new kitty for 2 weeks and then they became friends. Start off by keeping them in cages in the same room. They'll deal with it. GOOD LUCK!

I think it will be fine, but you really have to get the male cat fixed, or you will end up with kittens...

At first the older cat will be mad, and probably hide or act out but give it a couple days and they will be buds

No matter the sex,when the time comes to get it fixed do it,two younger cats will get along quicker than an adult cat and a kitten will.So yes i would get the little bugger

Cats don't like "intruders" in the beginning, but adjust really well. Take the kitten and give it a good home.

i would talk to a vet
i think 2 kittens growing up together is a good idea,but you don't know how they are going to react to the other one.
good luck
