Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone can advise.
I am considering, and only considering, bringing another cat into the household.
I already have two cats, who have lived here for almost four years and knew each other before that. They are both neutered tom cats (neutered late in life). One is a bengal (of sorts!) the other is a bengal x persian. They are generally very content together, although they do have their tiffs, which can sometimes sound quite nasty, but have never resulted in any injuries. This is usually when one comes on to the other...!
If, and it is an if, I were to introduce another cat, I would be looking at another bengal (a proper one) or a siamese type - an exotic shorthair of some breed. Would it increase the chances of them hitting it off if I got another male? Or is a queen better? And would it help having a kitten / younger cat? How successful does it tend to be, introducing a third cat to an established pair?
Thanks.
