  1. This is my third time watching and following this video!
    I got Olivia, my first cat, a scottish fold at 2019, then introduced Oliver, a British shorthair to her in 2022 and Ophelia, also a BSH in 2023.
    The police closed a clandestine cat breeder here in São Paulo a month ago and 100 cats were transferred to a shelter.
    After an extensive application period, I was selected to adopt a male chocolate scottish fold and a female cinnamon british shorthair!
    They arrive next saturday and I’m carefully setting up basecamp right now!
    Thank you for your helpful advise 😻🐱❤️

  2. We have 9 year old siblings. A female and male. A 6 week old kitten showed up in our garage. The kitten was feral. I kept him in the garage and socialized him, he’s friendly to me and my husband. We took him to the vet and he is healthy. He is in a bedroom with toys food and a litter box. They all are aware of each other. Our 9 year old female isn’t happy with the new kitten through the door even. She has been hiding under our bed. She got a glimpse of the kitty and was hissing and growling. Our 9 year old male seems interested in meeting the kitty. The kitty is wanting to come out. I’m being patient but I must say I am exhausted trying to giv the kitty attention and the other 2 . I’m so ready for everyone to get a long. What if our female doesn’t ever like the kitten? She gets jealous of the love and attention I give her brother. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
