How do you get an 8 year old cat who has never interacted with other cats to accept your new 3 month old kitten?

I myself, being the owner of many cats, can tell you this. Your cat may or may not accept your new kitten.
The only thing you can do is just introduce them slowly, don't force anything onto your older cat that it doesn't want.
The older cat will at first hiss, cuff, or growl at your new kitten, but in time he'll learn to tolerate the newcomer.
He just needs to learn that the kitten isn't there to take his place, make sure you're still giving your older cat the attention that he wants and show him that even though you have another cat, you still love him just as much.

Is it okay to feed a kitten cream?
Never. Cats and kittens should never be fed cow's milk or cream. Many cats are lactose intolerant and can become sick - which is incredibly dangerous in a young kitten.

A twelve week old kitten will in no way be able to have kittens of its own. At such an age the kitten is comparable to a young child.

Would a six-month-old kitten mind a eight-week-old kitten being added to the family?
It depends on the kitten. Some cats will never be happy being around other cats. It should be fine as long as you introduce them slowly, and don't leave them alone together for the first couple of days.I take in strays - 8 months ago I introduced a 5 month old to my other cats. 3 months ago I took in an 8 week old kitten, and last month I took in a 10 week old. For the past week I have been minding a motherless month old kitten for a friend. It usually takes about 2 or 3 days for the newbie to settle in and be accepted, but they all get along eventually. They play-fight, as cats do, but never hurt each other.Good luck.Usually if a kitten is young it will be more open-minded, and a 6 month old would probably be best friends with the 8 week old and play because they are both kittens and they will have each other to play with. Some cats are the exception because they have had an insecure past, but if they hiss at each other at first give it a couple of days and they will most likely settle down. :)it could take them from 3 days to several weeks for them to get along, i know this from personal experience, they may get into fights that you might have to break up.
