Ok everyone.. I have just filled out an application to adopt and adorable three year old tortoise shell colored girl from the local spca. I am awaiting a call tonight or tomorrow to let me know if I have been approved. This cat is very friendly and gets along fine with the cats at the shelter. I have a one year old calico Belle, with somewhat of a tude (everyone from the chats know the stories of Belle lol!) A part of me is very nervous that Belle might be somewhat aggressive, and another part of me thinks after a few days she would just love a friend. I think this because I caught her sitting next to a mouse in the basement, communicating with it instead of trying to kill it! This cat baffles me, I have seen her be curious and somewhat friendly with another cat, and I have seen her tear a dog to shreads. I'm hoping that this won't be a problem, I don't know how likely two females are to bond to each other and become friends. What I need from all the multiple cat owners out there, is some advice on how to properly introduce them, and make this addition to the family the best it can be. The cat I am adopting (Shania) has lived in this shelter since May of 05, and she is between 2-3 years old. She had a litter of kittens the day after they brought her in. This cat has not had an easy road or a loving family and I am very excited to give her both!!
