A Friend For Caspar...?

[pastafreak]

As some know,I have a noisy, deaf cat called Caspar. Before I got my dog Sally,I had been thinking of getting a playmate for Caspar.
Well,I am considering it again,as a neighbours cat is pregnant.
Caspar is an indoor cat,and I sometimes think his 'vocal-ness' is due to boredom. He and Sally do play a bit...chasing each other,and when I play with him,Sally takes over...going after his ball,etc.
He's quite an easy going cat...really took it in his stride when Sally came on the scene...so I think he'd be OK with a kitten (as opposed to a fully grown cat).
Any thoughts from other prisoners of bossy felines?

I have heard (a few times) that introducing a dog into a cat household is much easier than introducing another cat. Having said that a kitten isn't a cat and it should be easier.

I introduce a kitten last year and it only took 3 days!!

We had a semi blind cat years ago and our new kitten became a guide kitten it was so cute

We have a quite dominant 2 year old female who was introduced very suddenly to a very shy 6 month old female due to the little one being suddenly made homeless. It was awful for several months but they now (1 year on) tolerate each other. Whether they will ever be friends I don't know but as the little one has grown their relationship has changed and I am really not sure which is the most dominant. If Caspar is easy going and gets on well with your dog I would imagine that he would be fine with a kitten. How do you think the dog will be? We thought that our dog would be very tolerant but he was the worst of all, mainly due to curiosity rather than malice but its hard to tell a small kitten that the dog is just curious.
