My daughter's friend has a cat who just had a litter of kittens. Unfortunately, my daughter has fallen in love with one of the kittens. The only reason this is unfortunate is because it is a female and we have four male cats in our family (ages 14, 11, 7 and 18 months). All four are fixed and the female would be fixed at the appropriate time as well.
My concern is for my oldest cat. He's in great health, and he hasn't had any problem in the past when we've added newer cats to our family. But I have never had a female cat before and I'm not sure if the male/female dynamic will be more stressful for him. I don't want to break my daughter's heart and I would love to have this new kitty in our house, but not if it'll cause major stress to my eldest cat.
Any insight, experiences, or advice would be welcomed, thanks!

Opposite sex animals often do better than same sex animals. It really is an individual thing. It sounds like your gang is used to other cats.
