Why do people bring home kittens when they already have cats?
Often I wonder if the owner is not being selfish. Perhaps they are just bored with the cat they have or saw a fuzzy cute kitten that they couldn’t resist. They often say they want their existing cat to have a “friend” — but the adult cat hardly thinks of the newcomer (especially a kitten) as a friend.
Is it selfish or unfair to bring home kittens?
So, Livvysmom, no I don’t think it’s selfish or unfair. Like labmomma posted, you need to take all the requisite precautions, keep a sense of humor and be patient. When we brought home two kittens rescued from a very bad home our over twelve year old cat never took to them at all. It was a disaster.
Do you want your husband to have his own cat?
I did want my husband to have his own cat, but I also went into this adoption hoping that Ghosty would connect with a baby cat in a way that she never did with grown kitties. Of course, we had a backup plan (and separate bedrooms) just in case they didn’t click, but in my heart of hearts I wanted this kitten to become Ghost Cat’s best friend.
What should I do when I bring my new kitten home?
The ride home should be as pleasant as possible. Place the scented towel in a cat carrier and gently place your kitten inside. If he resists, remove the top of the carrier rather than nudging him through the door. Cats prefer cozy spots so they usually like being in a carrier.

If you are planning to bring a new kitten into your home, then you should take some time to prepare for the kitten’s arrival. Purchase the items that your kitten will need and place them in your home for other people and pets to start adjusting to.
