I'm usually at the top of the class where cats are concerned, but I'm too emotionally involved and could use some outside opinions.
Summary: found a cat, took it in on behalf of the owner - but it turned out to be a different cat. I would normally only take a cat in if I could look after it, and I'm not sure I can commit to the new cat - but how can I not? tl;dr inside.

We have had an awesome formerly feral FIV+ cat for 3 years. He is increasingly clearly lonely, and two weeks ago, we adopted a new cat. New cat is great, they've both settled in, but new cat seems to be bullying old cat. Is this permanent?

Apparently, a stray cat had a litter of kittens under our deck about a month ago. We discovered it this morning when our deck was all of a sudden full of roly-poly little kitties. They're so cute that the declaration that we were going to remain a 2 cat household was defeated within about 10 minutes. Now we're seeking advice on how to integrate a little kitten with our existing 1.5 year old cats.

What happens when two cats spend weekends together and weekdays apart? Our cat, Rupert, filled the position of Office Cat ever since we picked him up from the shelter. He commuted between our home and our office for fifteen months, spending Monday through Friday at our office; he was happy. When my husband retired a few months ago, Rupert retired too. He's about 2 now and lives at home full time. I miss having an office cat but I'm not sure getting another one is a good idea given my circumstances. How does it work when one cat regularly visits another's home but isn't a permanent resident?
