I got a new......
 

awwwwwwwwwww congrats!!!

Awwww I'm suck a sucker for pets..congratulations! :)

very pretty kitten! Congrats.

I was a two cat household for about two months. I introduced the new one gradually and kept their litter boxes seperate (seems that won't be a problem). I started with very short periods in controlled areas (the spare bedroom) where I would open the door and let the established cat explore. When the hissing and fighting got bad, I'd seperate. The timespans kept getting longer to where I could trust them for a full day alone ... then I realized it was the kitten that was driving my allergies batty and had to give her up :( Everything I read recommended seperate spaces and slow introductions. One website recommended keeping feeding bowls on opposite sides of a closed door as a means to introduction with the door as the barrier.

cute cute cute puss!

:D Very nice addition to the household!

As far as integrating a new pet into the household... we always did introductions. I would hold the cat and let the dog sniff... the cat never liked it much, but then the dog would get used to the scent. But then, our dogs weren't mutants either.. rofl

Very cute little kitty you got there. ;) Almost makes me want one. Just don't remind me about the scratching and the extra poop... :D

Awwwwwwwwwwwww it looks like my Sammy did. ((hugs))

Cute kitty! no advice here ... don't have any pets ... at least not at home ... we do have an office cat (my boss has another 5 cats at home) Our office cat doesn't seem to like other cats much ... whenever the boss takes her home ... she scares all of the other 5 cats into hiding and fleeing from her ... but she likes me a lot ... sometimes to the point of being a bit of a nusance .. know exactly how to lay down in the middle of the stuff I'm working on! ... anyway, your new kitty is (as Lil often says ... I believe I have it right) "darling precious" ... or is it "precious darling" ... OK Lil, lock me up ... I'm getting the terminology all wrong! :)

Oh he's delicious!!!!!!

I love black cats.....he'd make such a good playmate for my two!

As for advice on intergration, and other new kitten issues, have a look at:

www.understandinganimals.com

and click on the cat behaviour forum. Lots of really interesting and friendly people there (including me!) who'll be able to offer advice....and if you look in the archives you'll see your question has come up loads before.

Good luck with new kitty-cat.....tell us what you've called him, when you decide!
