The new cat is called Merlin. They had to keep them apart for a few days but they're ok now.

Hope yours have settled nicely together.
That's wonderful to hear!
The little one isn't with me yet. She's now 5 weeks old and end of this month when she's 8 weeks she can come live with me and Nila. I am, however, going to try and have her stay another week but not sure if the family where she's born is okay with that. I will have to ask.
But 8 weeks is way too young to leave the nest and can cause problems in behaviour. They actually shouldn't leave the litter until 12 weeks old which very few do, but in Belgium it is law!
They learn a lot concerning social & normal behaviour from 7-12 weeks from mother & siblings which they will miss out on when having moved to a new place at 8 weeks.
So if I can squeeze an extra week out of it... better than nothing!
