This food a good food (there are better options however). Purina's top product line is ProPlan. It will contain higher quality and easier to digest proteins and other nutrients but you can continue feeding the cat chow if you like. For now however, you will want to continue this diet and start the cats on any new diet after they are transited to your home. Having two cats is generally pretty easy as long as they get along. Make sure each cat gets attention and play time. You may also provide two litter boxes (or even three) to make sure the cats don't feel that it gets soiled too quickly. Most cats are fine sharing a water and food bowl as long as they don't have dominance or competition between them. If they do seem to have some problems, you will need to have two separate feeding and water areas. It would also be useful to read up on cat behavior so that you can interpret what the cats are saying to each other. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I am so sorry to hear about your kitties! I would recommend getting some Feliway multicat diffusers https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-MultiCat-Diffuser which are a pheremone releasing product that can help these situations. A calming supplement such as Zylkene can also be helpful. Ensure the cats each have places they can hide/get away if needed as well as adequate numbers of litter boxes (one more than the number of cats in your household), water and food available where they can eat/drink without being disturbed by the other cat. If they are still fighting despite this, some training may be needed. You can read this article by a veterinary behaviorist for details on this: https://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/feuding_felines/

It's great that you want to be prepared for your new kitten! Aside from the obvious things for the kitten like food and water bowls, I'd recommend a tall scratching post and perch. Two litter boxes in different areas of the house are recommended. Canned kitten food (and canned adult cat food as Myla gets older) is preferred over dry food.

I would recommend having a plug in in every room, you can use the sprays to spray areas where the cats seem to spend the most time - beds, blankets, hideaways etc. Cats are not typically sociable creatures and tend to prefer to spend time alone rather than with other cats, so ensuring that each cat has plenty of space and areas to retreat to is important. Make sure there are places up high they can escape to and private areas auch as boxes that they can hide in. Ensure there are plenty of litter trays - one per cat, plus an extra one, more if possible and that these are in different areas around the home. Also allow for separate feeding areas so that they are able to go and feed separately when they need to and there is no competition for food.

I think placing one of the diffusers in the kitchen would be a good idea, as the pheremone will be most heavily dispensed near the diffuser. Also, it is recommended with litter boxes that you have one more litterbox than the number of cats in your household, so in a house with 3 cats it would be recommended that you have 4 litterboxes. This isn't always possible depending on the household, but it if is, you may consider adding additional litterboxes. Also providing places for the mother cat to hide or escape, including boxes/houses and cat trees/platforms can be helpful. Best of luck to you and I love the name Batman!
