we have a siamese cat 6 years old -- is he too old for us to get him a companion siamese kitten?

Answers:
Nope, not too old at all. When the kitten comes into the home, be sure you don't accidentally ignore the Sr cat in the attention and treats department, in fact make sure he gets some extra attention so he won't feel like he's being replaced in your affections. I'd seriously advise against just setting the kitten on the floor the second you get home. Sr cat may consider it an intruder. Safer to let him discover the kitten from behind a door or in one of ya'lls arms. Some cats have no problem with newcomers, others tend to be territorial and need some time to adjust to the idea of another feline in the house.
You may want to have the person who he is least attached to be the one who actually carries the new one in the door.
Some folks allow a 'get to know' period by having the new one stay in a seperate room a few days so they can sniff each other's scent with a door between them. They will need to be watched the first few days of face to face contact to make sure nothing worse than hissing and an odd non clawed swat is traded. Kittens seem to be easier than adults to integrate.
If you are going through a reputable breeder, get their input on how they bring in newcomers to the household.

Siamese cats are a funny breed. some Siamese cats do not get along well with others. they are very territorial. you might want to do some research on this, or contact a breeder. what ever you decide to do you might want to think hard on this, i wouldn't want any unhappy animals.

No - you should be OK getting him a companion kitten, but he will take time to get used to the kitten. You should probably aim to get a little girl.

Initially, keep them separated so that both animals are aware of each other, but not in direct contact. Introduce them to each other slowly. Expect a certain amount of hissing and growling in the early stages but gradually your adult cat will get used to the kitten and they'll become friends.

It would be very unusual for the adult cat to attack the kitten, cats (like most animals) will recognise the other is a baby and will act accordingly.

I had a 12 year old Siamese when I got two kittens and he was great with them.

No older cats might like to have a kitten to mother.

Hi BGU
No not at all to late i bet your cat will have so much fun with the kitten nice one

Siamese, as very short haired animals, truly appreciate getting a companion to share body warmth. Your cat will probably be thrilled. Just keep an eye in case of jealousy the first days but if he starts licking the baby from the start you probably are going to be fine. They will then start napping together. As someone suggested previously it is important that the Senior cat gets the respect of his tenure!

He would love it if provided with a companion. Just make sure he gets the majority of the attention when you bring a kitten home so he doesn't get jealous and keep an eye on them until they settle together.

---

it would be a much better idea to get a older cat as a companion, kittens are wild and it would be unfair to bring one into the home with an older cat.

I am a cat breeder (bengals) if you need anymore infor mation please email me.

ps - the siamese rescue always have adults looking for homes
