This is a toughie!



Since your cat is two years old, he might be active enough to deal with a rambunctious kitten. A kitten coming into your household would be much easier as far as introducing on both sides. The downside is that the kitten might be too active or might need to run off more steam than your older cat can handle.



The flip side is getting an older cat - certainly not older than two, more like around one. The introduction might be a lot harder, even if the cat is known to get along with other animals. But then the two might be more evenly matched in temprament.



I'd probably tend to go with an older kitten - nine months to a year just to cut down on too much playfulness. Another reason is that while most shelters can place kittens older cats are hard to adopt out and I'd be wanting to provide a home for a "not so cute" kitty.
