I have a sweet 4 year old female siamese cat and we've had her since she was 4 months old.?

at 4 years old it would be difficult but it is possible however getting a kitten would be a bad choice..

kittens require kitten food for 1 year.. adults require adult food and for either to eat the others food would be bad.. since cats need access to their dry food all day how are you gonna feed them seperate?

kittens could be easily hurt by an agressive adult so are at risk in a home where an adult already exists

select from an SPCA or other shelter a cat ( no younger than 6 months ) that is used to being around other cats (prefreably already spayed and neutered and definately already vaccinated) and bring that one home - keep it in a room to itself so the two cats can sniff paws under the door and get to know each other that way... after about 1 week you can let the new cat out with supervision.. allow some small fights as they have to establish dominance - but keep the cat in the room when you are at work or at night for at least 1 more week - then they should be ok together....

good luck

Studies have shown that most companion animals are healthier and live longer in a household with another pet, although not necessarily the same species.

If your cat was with her littermates or other cats until you got her at 4 months, then she was able to learn enough feline communication to adjust to another cat.

Look for a cat similar in activity-level, assertiveness, and age WITHIN 5 years. You do NOT have to get a kitten, and in fact that is riskier as adult cats sometimes will KILL intruding kittens. Any cat 9 years or under otherwise similar in assertiveness and activity will do fine.

The KEY is to plan a gradual introduction to add addition litterboxes, cat trees, and dishes to avoid conflicts. A four year old cat will need days to WEEKS to adjust to a new feline, generally, so you need to be able to manage the logistics of separation for that long. SLOWER introductions are faster and more successful than QUICK ones.

Here is a page of hints on how to help the cats acclimate to one another:

This page was developed by NYC Siamese Rescue (http://www.nycsiamese.org)/ which is a great place to get a new kitty, as is your local shelter!

Be sure that where-ever you get your new cat, it is fully tested and vetted before you expose your current kitty to it, and that the group will absolutely take it back if things do not work out after a month.

I have an indoor cat that is 5 years old. She came to live with me at about 2 mo. old. She is very happy and at this point I think even a baby kitten would upset her household as she acts like this is her house and lays in the middle of the floor or doorway and is pretty independant. You may be asking for problems.

at first, congratulations! the shown fact that she has already made 22 years bears testomony to the shown fact that she has been o.k. cared for! A cat is seen 'senior' by ability of the vet while it reaches approximately 10years. Indoor cats in many circumstances stay to fifteen years and upwards, yet something above 2 many years is very uncommon. the shown fact which you point out she nonetheless runs around the residing house at a hundred miles an hour shows she continues to be bodily in very stable shape - frequently by ability of that age, the cat has grow to be lots greater constrained in terms of mobility and velocity. that's impossible to assert how long you may assume to nonetheless have her - you're blessed to have had her for see you later, and by ability of the sounds of it she would perhaps be around right here for some destiny years - that's seen magnificent. You point out that she cries lots now, even while fed, watered & litterbox wiped clean. Siamese cats are properly time-honored to be very vocal cats, so that's no longer out of the conventional. Did she used to cry like she does now? If that's a clean behaviour then i could propose taking her in for a universal wellness checkup on the vet - any replace like this in a cat's behaviour, fairly at that age is worth of interest to be on the secure ingredient. Any cat over 10yrs of age could have a each year checkup on the vet, despite if there has been no longer something incorrect. i'm hoping she is alongside with you for destiny years!

it would be a nice thing to do so that she has company! and if you are seriously thinking about it i would do it before she gets and older so that she will be more accepting , i would think that she is fine alone , but i bet she would love some company!!

Aww, I think it would be really great for her to have a friend. That would be soo cool and really nice if you could rescue one from your local shelter! Then you would be doing TWO great things! ;-)

i wud get a new kitten
