Getting a new kitten when I already have two cats.

Question
Hello, I have 2 cats that are a male & female, they are brother & sister. They are spayed & nutered and are about 1 1/2 years old and are strictly inside cats. I now also have a Momma cat that I let have my garage and she brought her litter that she had across the street there too. I am thinking about keeping one of her kittens as a 3rd inside cat. My question is, how will my other two cats react? This is their home and I dont want to put the new kitten in any danger, and I dont want to disturb the lifestyle that my other two cats have had for 1 1/2 years. Will they adjust, and will they become good friends? Thank you, Mike Safris

Answer
Hi Mike,

They will adjust.  Not many cats, especially ones as young as yours can resist a kitten.  They are just too playful and cute.  They might hiss and growl at it a bit, but will quickly start playing with it.  Write again if you have any other questions about this.  I always like to help.
