I post here with my bengal and tabby a lot and we got her when he was 1 so obviously still quite young, but I think the dynamic can work when the current cat is older and can assert dominance the right way. Note that the first 3-4 days he was stand-offish and literally hissed and swatted the top of her head when she came near, but pretty quickly the were inseparable and it was the best thing we could have done. He’s double her size but would rather clean her for hours than tackle her or be rough.
Omg his name is crookshanks 🧡
I am in the same boat, my boy is pretty dominating to other cats, and my vet said his best companion would be a dog. I’m bummed but have accepted single pet status because I don’t want to traumatize a kitten (and everyone else involved). I have considered fostering an adult, huge, confident male cat; a larger and better match for his personality. But still, would feel bad if it didn’t work out so le sigh…

This is a great idea - a vet knows your cat’s temperament and could probably give a great assessment

I successfully adopted Callen into our home with a very dominant male Maine Coon mix. Callen is a persian. I followed all the Jackson Galaxy tutorials on YouTube and it worked very well for integration of the persian.
I was very worried about the fact that they are both male. It took 2 weeks and lots of patience and effort on our end to follow the plan.
This is super helpful. Thank you! I have a 100% WFH job so that definitely gives me more flexibility and time to help them integrate.
