3 cats?

External Since: Aug 06, 2003 Posts: 4

I already have 2 cats, a female, approx. age 3 yrs., a male, approx age 1.5
yrs, they have both been neutered and get along well (for cats, I guess). My
question is, would another cat upset the mix? should it be a female or male
(altered of course). I would love to add a black cat to my family of brown
shorthairs.

I brought home a 7 week old male kitten to two indoor female siamese cats,
roughly 6 and 16. Both despise him, but then again, both hated each other at
the beginning too. Our black male cat about 6 as well, who WAS mainly an
outdoor cat, established dominance at first, but now spends most of his time
inside almost acting like a mother cat to my kitten. I thought the two
females would like him, and the male would hate him, but it turned out quite
the opposite. I know siamese tend to be real jealous and picky when it comes
to adding new cats, not sure about others.
