Advice on adopting a kitten? more info below?
Ok so im thinking of adopting a 3 month old female kitten from a shelter and i have another cat at home whos 1 years old and VERY playful i adopted my first cat when he was about 3/5 months old and before that he was living with his brothers and sisters so i was wondering if it was a good idea to get another cat ? and if it was safe for the kitten to stay alone at home until i get back home from school with my other cat.Will my cat KILL the kitten? the kitten is about a size of a cup and my another cat is a male and the size of a baby.Note my old cat is neutered.Please give me some advice?

Genetics work the same way as with humans. Grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents etc all figure into the dynamics of appearance.
In addition, female cats can and do mate with more than one male and can have kittens in the same litter by different males so it's also possible the kitten that looks different had a different father.

Chances are your current cat will enjoy a playmate once they are properly introduced. You cannot leave them alone together for a period of a week or two - a proper integration needs to be done. Look up 'cat integration' via Google. But basically the new one goes in her own room, with food and litter, and you close the door. After a few days switch rooms - he goes in her room (door shut) and she gets run of the house. After a few days of that, let them out together for an hour our two slowly increasing the time. Play with them together with a wand toy. It works - if you take it slowly. Of course you will need two litter boxes for two cats, and ideally a nice big cat tree for them as well. Bring home your new kitten, isolate her, introduce them slowly, and all should go well.
