If your elderly cat can tolerate mice, surely she could tolerate a
kitten? Might enjoy the company.
Another thought is that the old cat might enjoy teaching the youngster
to hunt (a skill usually passed from queen to kitten, but often lacking
in a cat if its parents were brought up indoors, or if it was taken from
the queen too early), while at the same time being able to sit back and
watch the youngster do the energetic bit!
Of course, if the old lady has been a solitary cat all her life it would
be different, but the cat I first knew (Tinkerbell), who lived to days
off her 21st birthday, had no problems with Prudence's kittens who were
born in May 1972, the year she died.
