Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed

I have a Persian kitten which is 2 months old. And I was thinking of adopting domestic shorthair kitten. My parents said "after 6 months let's adopt" is it good to introduce a 1 month old kitten to a 6 month old cat.

It is fine either way but I think they can have more fun playing with each other being closer to the same size. Either way they are will be young enough to grow up together and play with one another.
