[quote=Anonymous]We are considering adding a third kitten to our two cat family.

Currently we have two cats:  an 8 month old kitten (whom we got at 3.5 months) and a 4 year old adult cat.

Cat and kitten are getting along well but as kitten gets older and bigger (and is now the same size as adult cat), they are fighting more because kitten always wants to play and is now stronger and more boisterous than adult cat.  Adult cat is constantly hissing and growling at kitten when kitten plays too boisterously (which is most of the time) but they sit nicely and cuddle each other when kitten is tired or when they are both sleeping.  So I'm not worried that they don't like each other or that this is a situation where we need to call in a feline behaviorist.

We are thinking of getting a third kitten so that kitten and new kitten will be buddies and leave the older cat alone more.  We have a single family house so lots of room for the cats.

Would this be a bad idea?  My concern is that older cat would get overwhelmed by two boisterous kittens.[/quote]
