Hi,we have a 6 months old kitten our friend who we got him from has contacted us to say she is unable to keep his mother, so we are thinking of keeping her with us.But we are not sure if this will be a problem, will they accept each other again please all advice needed as we would dearly like to reunite them thanks.

hi surykata,
it shouldn't be a problem, it might be that mum doesn't show much maternal behaviour for the kitten if too much time has passed but there shouldn't be any problems with them establishing a new relationship. like with any introduction of a new cat they will have a few days of 'cat business' where they establish their positions and sort out some 'ground rules' between them before they settle into a routine together. good luck :-)

would the Tomcat need to be neutered?

Hi Rudebox he has been neutered 2 weeks ago

Hi, Purple22 sorry i overlooked your post this is very encouraging and positive thank you.

Hi
i agree with purple. I introduced kitten to my 4 yr old catboth females. Had few boxing matches and scraps. Just keep eye on young un. Dont seperate them if they scrap. You will soon see them curled up together. Enjoy them.

Hi Pegsgirl, thank you and every one who posted advice, I know now we will have a bigger family soon, and will book her in at our vets to give her a checkout (very happy)

Brill stuff!!

Do mum and son have the same colouring?

you do know you now have to post a pic of them?

No he ginger tom, she is very different grey in colour i will post pics of them both when they are together again, heinz 57 but they will be loved and cared.
