>>I will be a new Manx kitten owner tomorrow! I am extremely excited. I have a 15 year old Calico. I know she will be upset with me, but what is the best way to introduce them? I want there to be as little stress as possible for both of them. All suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Oh and one other thing, should I raise the Manx any differently than I would the typical cat? I feed Science Diet, no people food, indoor cats only etc.
>>I feel like I am having my 1st child..lol

I guess you know the drill about keeping them separated and letting them smell each other under the door for at least a week. Then gradually let them be in each others presence. The info at this site might be helpful:

Feline Behavior

I don't think a Manx cat needs any special care, although they are prone to colon and anal problems.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
