Well, I worry that 'Cartman' could really do damage if he decided not to tolerate them...
Kitty #6 tormented Ramius's Josie all the years he was at the beach house, but never really hurt her. He just hassled her.
I wouldn't have thought it would work to bring another cat in with Cartman, but he really did pretty well with that lost kitten, and we just threw them together rather unexpectedly because she just showed up.
We had a lot of cats over the years, and even the most aggressive older (neutered) male never really hurt a kitten. They seem to know they're babies. Yeah, they may swat 'em good and even scratch a bit, but that's about it. And generally, they deserve it. ;-) Kittens, like puppies, are monsters.
As for neutering, I know Ruthy knows more about vet procedures than I do...but they can do it really young these days. Like two months, I think. I think Tam was maybe four and Halvah a bit more, but they can do them really young.
