I perfer females myself simply because some neutered males still will spray.

She seems very social and outgoing with strangers, but she does hiss a little (as normal) with the occasional meeting with another cat. She was 6 months old when I got her. She has never been too much for cuddling I think due to the age and stress caused on her when I got her. She does like attention and affection though. This time I would really like to get a kitten to share time with her when I am not home after we go through the initial introduction as you instructed above. Do you think I could get by with the differences of age? Should I get a female or male. I really want to avoid having my house sprayed if possible. Obviously the kitten will be fixed. I was looking to get a kitten between 8-10 weeks old. I have a black female cat I got from the shelter that is probably 4 years old.
