We have two cats (had them for about 5 years now). They are both 7 years old (female).

My wife has been contacted by somone wanting to get rid of a 2 year old male Birman (the person is older with balance problems and does not want to fall on the cat as it hangs around their feet a lot).

Question is, can I reasonably expect to be able to introduce another cat into our house (I know there will be some initial stress etc). Will that pass and the 3 will then get on - or will it really be not worth the hassle and stress for the cats? Obviously it depends on the cats temprements also - I'm just trying to get a general idea.
