Old cat and new kittens

    One of our cats passed away last month, leaving us with a 13 year old female. She appears fine and doesn't seem to miss her old friend too much.

    We promised the kids at the time that we would get a couple of kittens to replace the one we lost. One mentioned it this morning so it hasn't been forgotten. :rolleyes:

    Is it ok to introduce kittens to an old cat?
    What tips would you advise to make this a happy event?
    Also, should the kittens be from the same litter or not?

    We live and learn! :p

    hi,

    sorry to hear about your cat. I am very curious myself about responses - i am in a similar situation. Our cat is 8, and his friend died.
    I have sooken to 2 charities so far: somebody from a cats' charity suggested that we get a young female (12-18 months) as a kitten could be too much for our boy. But I called DSPCA yesterday, and they were suggesting that maybe we should get a kitten kitten..
    so don't know!
