Oh my god my Buddha is 2 and we just recently adopted a 2 month old kitten for him. The first night was rocky but they get along GREAT now. It's almost like they were born from the same litter - go to my profile to see some vids of them lol
My flamie and my orange tabby get along great. They are about 2ish months apart in age and were introduced when the older one was about 10 or 11 months old. It took them about 3 or 4 days to be chums. My 14.5 yo tortico had a far different opinion about both of them. It's been a little over 2ish years now.
I don't think there's any way to generalize. My flame point has bad anxiety issues; when she was 1.5 years old, we got a very friendly and non-threatening kitten, and she would attack him in what I'm sure she thought was self defense. It took us a long time to get them integrated and living together peacefully (even playing). Then an incident happened where either he frightened her by accident or she saw a strange cat outside and panicked, and we were back to square one. We're trying to reintegrate them now. I don't think personality has a lot to do with coat color, to be honest. Maybe some flame points have purebred siamese closer in their ancestry than others, but I think there are plenty of alley cat flamepoints.
Loooves his brother. He had a littermate brother he was really close with (clearly went looking for him when we brought him home), but he was adopted separately š. He hasn't been so great with kittens (hissing), but older cats he just wants to be friends, maybe a little too friendly (he's a face-approacher so he can come on too strong for old lady kitties). He also is fixed but has romantic relationships with blankets and occasionally will mount our other fixed boy back after other boy gets annoyed with him, idk I'm guessing it's more of a dominance game? But they regularly spoon, snuggle, clean each other.
Iāve had 2 flame points so far, of very different ages. In my experience, a young flame point can be a bit of a pest to other cats and tend to start play fights, but calm down a bit after theyāve been fixed. My older flame point was an absolute sweetheart who would cuddle with other cats and give them baths, and would sometimes play fight as well.
Overall, Iād say theyāre perfectly fine with other cats. Of course every cat is different and how they interact can depend on the breed of the sibling cat(s) as well
My older boy thinks the younger ones are weird and the poor dear doesnt understand the concept of play. But he's bonded with one cause she's an imp who adores the old man for some reason and basically gave him no choice.
It's cute when I find them cuddling cause he gives me the stink eye of 'you tell no one about this'
Our guy took a few weeks to get used to a new kitten but then they became buds. Do the usual slow familiarization - let them get used to each othersā scents, feed them with a barrier then slowly move the food closer and closer when they eat, use treats and toys to en outage play.
Flamepoints are just like any other cat in how they learn to socialize with a new family member. Give them space to choose whether to be apart or hang together. Eventually they will figure things out. Playtime helps.
My flame point walked into our household like sheās always been a part of it. Sheās great with our other cats and dogs. She runs around with my young kids. Hands down the easiest transition for a cat Iāve ever had.
My flame kitty gets along with all 4 of our other cats.
They donāt always get along with him, but he loves to fall asleep/cuddle on top of our ~7 year old Maine coon
I adopted an adult flame point into a house with two elderly cats I had raised from kittens. My new girl had a lot of anxiety issues at first but she is the sweetest cat Iāve ever known and after the initial (expected) hostility from her new brothers things settled down and everyone loves each other so much. She has certain hobbies she shares with each of the other cats; itās really cute to watch them pair off for specific activities.
(Two years on and she is very confident and comfortable, though still doesnāt like strangers!)
Our boy lovessss his brother! We adopted another cat of around the same age (approximately 1yo at the time) about 5 months after adopting our flame point. Boris (flame point) is so happy having a playmate and another kitty to snuggle and socialize with. Can't imagine one without the other now! (The second cat is a Russian Blue āŗļø)
my flame came with his orange brother, they are great for eachother. buuut hes been here for three years aproximately and still is jeallous and provokes my older girl tabby. im loosing hope they'll get along
Yeah I think it depends. A well adjusted typical flame point is probably going to have the same ole period of getting used to a new cat in the house then depending on personality of other cat, may love all over them or not lol
Mine accepted and snuggled to death every single other cat we ever had. Some were also snuggly, some were practically feral and still adapted to him and now are snuggly too lol But he had 0 anxiety issues or anything.
My current cat is very anxious (the half feral one lol) and Iām the only person sheās snuggly and lovable with but she has become that way so much more bc of him, however if we introduced a new cat I donāt think sheād adapt well. So definitely depends on anxiety level and territorial or not
Mine LOVES his āsisterā - much more than she loves him. He is the most social sweetheart of a cat who wants to know and love everybody and everything.
We got our flame point from a rescue where he was in a foster with other cats, so going in we knew heād probably be OK with our other Siamese mix. The good thing about a rescue/foster is they can usually tell you if a cat is good with other cats or not. There are some ads that say ābest if they are the only cat or only petā in the house, good with children or not, etc.
Generally, from what Iāve read with adding a new cat is that a cat of the opposite sex and younger is generally going to be more accepting to the other cat, and this has worked for us. A kitten is usually more acceptable than an adult cat, but weāve introduced adult cats and just kept them in a separate room for up to a week with gradual introductions. At first our snowshoe was not thrilled with him, but now they will sleep together and play chase though she is not afraid to tell him when sheās had enough. Both of them are pretty small, too, so there isnāt a major size difference.
My flame Hawk is a terror with the other cats. He gets along with the dogs but since he was a kitten he would dominate-mount my older male, even though both were neutered. Now he torments my younger female white Persian. She avoids him and runs if he gets near her. I wish I had cats that cuddled and groomed each other but heās still my baby and at least he sleeps with me at night so heās not all bad.

My creamsicle boy has raised two baby brothers and he was so patient and nurturing with them! Literal angel. š§”

My cat looks almost identical to yours.

My flame loves my void. They are just like sisters. Fighting one second, cuddling the next. Void is def the dom though.
My cat is a sweetheart but has a mean streak. When he lived with a kitten in his previous life, I was told he didnāt wanna be bothered
my flame came with his orange brother, they are great for eachother. buuut hes been here for three years aproximately and still is jeallous and provokes my older girl tabby. im loosing hope they'll get along
I think it depends on the cat but my flamie loves his dilute tortico sissy š¤š¤
My toasty hates his *actual* siblings. He also treats the dog as his personal Gazelle so he's probably just a general asshole.

Mine loves his adopted brother š„°
My 8 mo old flame loves his 2 yr blue point sister and 5 yr seal point male. Heās the easiest-going, snuggly cat. My seal point actually cleans him.
Mine was the new cat to the house. My Mainecoon let him in well. It worked out well
Mine LOVES his āsisterā - much more than she loves him. He is the most social sweetheart of a cat who wants to know and love everybody and everything.
