How long will it take my kitten to get used to the new kitten?

they are both 9 weeks old. i've had one for almost a month and just brought the other one home today. how long will it take for them to get used to each other. i have college on mondays, wednesdays and fridays so i can't watch them all the time.
Answers:
I would watch them when you're home, but keep one in a different room when you're at work. Chances are at that age it won't take long, but I'm a very careful person and I don't like to take chances. In some cases, it can depend if they're the same sex or not.

Also, remember that you will need AT LEAST two sand boxes.
They might become friends , cause if they are very young and grow up together . It will be very easy for them to get to know each other and get along better.
One or two weeks.
I think they will get used to wach other soon because your first kitten is only nine weeks old and you've only kept it for a month. The kitten will probably want to play with it and so that'll bring them closer.
just let them bee and things will work out! as from how long it takes is hard to say! most the time less then a week! i think it is great you got the kitten a Friend! now it has someone to keep it company while you are gone! cat are very social and do allot better with a friend!! lots of luck~:)
Probably a little longer than a nano second. Kittens learn very quickly that it is much more fun to play than to have a serious fight.

Two young kittens can get into a lot of mischief however and I think you should confine them to one room or a bathroom for the time you are at school.

Leave them some food, water and a littbox and let them out to roam the house or apartment when you return.
Kittens that young shouldn't be too territorial yet, so I doubt it will take long before they're playing, sleeping together, grooming one another, etc. I wouldn't worry about them hurting each other while you're not home, but please set up a kitten-safe room in your home to keep them in while you're away. Kittens get into everything and can severely injure themselves on things you may not even think of (chewing on electrical cords, getting stuck behind or under large appliances or furnitures, hanging themselves on blind cords, etc.). A bathroom would be a good choice provided electrical cords and the like are kept out of reach and the toilet lid remain closed. Whichever room you choose to kitten-proof, make sure you put a litterbox, food and water dishes, and some toys in it. A blanket or pet bed, too, since they'll want a snuggly place to nap (which kittens do quite frequently:)

Congratulations on your new additions, and good luck:)
