We already have 2 10 year old cats (male & female) and decided to adopt a baby to add to the family. There were a lot of young lady cats around a year old at the rescue we loved (it was a rescue for kittens & their mothers) but we really felt our two oldies would accept a tiny one better than one their size. I definitely think we were right about that, they have been mildly annoyed at baby so far but nothing like the hysteria we would have had if we brought an adult cat in the house.

Anyway! Some questions. Firstly I havent been able to name him which is driving me mad. I was thinking Kaleid, short for Kaleidoscope because of his eyes. But it doesnt come out of my mouth easily. Or some reference to his beautiful eyes! I found a lovely Turkish quote about odd eyed cats "eyes as green as a lake and as blue as the sky". Also I think he is very elf like, I mean he seems to have 3 paws in the magic world and one paw in my bed! So something magical maybe? I really dont know.

Now some questions as its been 10 years since I had a kitten!

How long should I confine him to my bedroom? I dont want to overwhelm him with the whole house at once (its a bungalow)

He is litter trained but needs help remembering where it is kept we have one in my room one in the conservatory for the other two cats.

He is deaf as a post. How can I help him? We noticed last night when the lights went out he panicked and was mewing and running around like a loon so we left a small light on for him. It makes sense if he cant hear he will depend extra on his sight.

He wont be allowed out. Our 2 cats are indoors but go outside in a huge run thing for outside time. When he is settled in he will join them in that but not be allowed to roam wherever as it wouldnt be safe for him.

What else do I need to know?!?! I love him!!!
