Introducing 2 kittens together?

Hi. 2 days ago i picking up a 7 and half week old kitten form a breeder that i have known for quite along time. She had had a litter of 4 kittens and give my the pick of th elitter i picked the grey and whited socked female kitten and took her home. Its been a few days now and the kittens has settled in great but does like to play alot and i would like to get another. If I got one of the kittens that are left over from the same litter would they need to be introduced like how 2 adult cats are or would they recognized each other and settle in straight away. Baring in mind its only been 2 days and when i saw them they where very close I think it will be fine but just want to check. Will the settle in fine or need introducing slowly?

    It's better to introduce them slowly so they're comfortable. The easiest thing I've found to do is keep the newest one in a room for a few days, then let him explore the rest of the house and put the other cat in the room where you had the kitten. It allows them to explore the new home and get used to the other cats smell. After they're used to each other's scent, just hold the new cat in your arms and show the other cat the new addition. If they show any aggression, it's best to wait a little longer and try again. It can be a long process.
