Hi Steve Just figured I'd let you know what happened with my 'crew' when Karma came around. Karma was about 5 months old when she was entered into a situation with myself and 3 fuzzies. A small room and lots of things to jump up on. Karma had the slow into to my babies as well as you new kittten has. She just wasn't prepared for teh onslot of all three. :-) She adjusted quickly. She learned the higher the better. Within a couple days there were all sharing litter boxes and my 2 boys quickly lost interest in Karma and my girl, Ginger used to follow her around. Occationally riding her around - with not much problem or fuss. Ginger's respond to kittens was to attact - I'm not sure why but that's one reason why Karma came when she was older. It was an interesting addition to the family - soon Karma thought she was a ferret and when we moved into a bigger place and the ferrets got there own space, Karma was very often wanting in the room to play with them. The only requirements I had for the kids were that all nails were short and Karma had a quick escape to a higher level if she needed space. Hope things go well with your new addition. Enjoy..
