I named him after Michael Brooks. Also this is showing up as sideways but it isn’t sideways on my phone and I’m too boomer to figure out how to fix the picture on here.

A kitten followed me off the streets and is now my cat. My sister's cat and my dad's cat were not happy.
Make sure you play with Brooks because he might try playing with your other cat which might cause friction. Also make sure your other cat is well fed, with my dad's cat she often gets hangry and picks fights with anyone. If she is well fed then she let's a lot of things slide.
My cat when I first found her she couldn't do body heat so I put her on my chest to keep her warm at night. I know maybe I shouldn't have done that but I didn't want her freezing. I think eventually she picked up some of my scent and the other cats tolerated her like they do me.
I’m not sure I can sleep with the new kitten quite yet because my other kitty sleeps with me every night. She’s so attached that she goes to bed when I go to bed and waits for me to wake up so she can cuddle me. But he’s got a very spacious room that’s dedicated to him and him and has his litter, food and water there too since my roommate moved out and I got a spare room. I’ll make sure the heat is up tonight to help him stay warm.
Thank you for the tip on feeding and playing! I’ve been playing with him lots since he’s full of energy. She gets hangry a lot. She’s a little overweight and I’m trying to help her lose but I’ll probably just keep her bowl full for the beginning stages to keep her happy then. Because I’m pretty sure she’d beat his ass and I don’t want that.
Oh and also before I forget the cats will have their territories around the house.
My cat sleeps either in my room or the bathroom, my sister's either in her room or the living room, and my dad's in his room specifically on his bed still. Try not to take a cat someplace that the other cat has claimed or otherwise they might get nervous and book it.
If you want to break up a territory then you have to clean everything regularly just don't use anything to harsh. My sister regularly cleans her sheets and when she does her bed is pretty much up for grabs to whoever can get there first.
Maybe also get Brooks some boxes he can play with and retreat into if he feels threaten. Take advantage of his smaller size and make box openings that only he can fit in.
I'm no cat expert really just trying to give some experiences I went through and wish I knew before hand.
