Question

We have a great 2 yr old male cat and want another kitten. Would he adjust better to a male or female?

Answer 1

If he's fixed he should adjust to either fairly well. If not then I would go with a (fixed unless you want a lot of kittens) female.  

Answer 2

I would suggest a female kitten.  I have a 7 year old male cat and got a female kitten about 2 months ago.  The 7 year old is an alpha male and is VERY territorial.  It took about 2-3 weeks but now they are great friends.  The vet was very happy I chose a female and said that it is better with older male cats to get a female kitten.  So there is my 2 cents

Answer 3

Fixed cats have no  gender to speak of so either will work.

Answer 4

I would say do not get a kitten because the older male cat is Alfa so you do not want a dead baby kitten in a week or so.
