    HCM diagnosis in new kitten *advice please*

    Hello Sphynx Lair! I will be picking up my new kitten, Wendy, in a couple weeks and am looking on advice on properly introducing her to my 2 yr old male, Hank. Hank is super friendly and affectionate so I have high hopes he will enjoy a sibling. I’ve read it’s best to keep the cats separated...
