Cat people, I have a question.
How hard is it to bring a second adult cat into a household, especially if the first cat is semi-feral and not entirely socialized?
My next door neighbor is moving out of the country in a few months. Her sister was supposed to take her cat, but now it looks like that won't happen. I've brought new kittens in with adult cats before, but never a new adult, and never with a cat like Theo.
Should I try it? Her cat is male, about 4 or 5 years old, and a total sweetheart.
