I think it all depends on the disposition of your cat. I have two cats, and the male (Tigger) is very docile and loving. The female (Gracie) is totally different. She acts like Rocky does if another cat comes into the yard........like she's going to go through the window after them.

I've always heard that adult cats take to a kitten more so than an older cat. But, again, I think it depends on your cats temperment. It might take a little while for him to get used to the other cat. Jealousy is also something to think about.

We got Tigger when Gracie was already an adult cat but he was just a kitten. She ignored him the first few days but he kept after her until she paid attention to him. They're inseparable today!

Good luck! Have you thought of a name for the new cat?
