One Cat or Two? Finding the Perfect Feline Fit for You!
Is It Better To Have One Or Two Cats?
Most people who are thinking of getting a cat will usually only consider getting one kitten.
People are of the belief that cats enjoy their solitude, and while this might be the case a lot of the time, they also enjoy interacting with other cats and people.
And in fact, cats can also enjoy the company of dogs if they are brought up together and provided the dog has a personality that is acceptable to the cat.
The benefit of getting two kittens rather than one is the fact that a good portion of most people's day will be taken up with work and other activities in the weekend.
By having two kittens, they can keep each other company, playing and learning from one another.
They won't be as inclined to get bored, and they won't be as demanding of your attention when you come home after a tiring day at work.
Additionally, at those times when you want to go on vacation, the cats will have companions and won't feel as though they've been left alone.
Also, if you need to use the services of a cat boarding home, there will be less stress involved if the cat has its everyday companion with it in the boarding home.
Cats do in fact live in communities in the wild so this is a natural state for them to be in.
Many people find that having two cats helps them to remain more contented and less likely to wander onto other people's properties.
While there will be an additional expense with owning a second cat, the benefits might outweigh those costs and it is something that is well worth thinking about if you are deciding on getting a cat.
Usually cats of a similar breed will interact with one another better than a combination of two different breeds.
This is not a rule that is set in stone as anything and everything changes according to a cat's personality.
Choosing the Right Cat for You.
There is such a wide range of choices when choosing the cat that you will decide to share in your life, that taking the time to do some quality research is well worthwhile.
Not only do you have to decide what type of color you prefer, but whether you want a male or a female cat and the associated characteristics that come with them.
You also have to look at your personality and lifestyle and determine how that will work in with the personality that can be expected from any particular breed.
Fortunately there are many books that give comprehensive details on the personality types of the various different breeds and while they are a generalization they are also quite accurate in most cases and can help you make the right decision more often than not.
Some breeds require a lot more attention than others, and you also need to look at your stage of life and determine how much time you will have to devote to your cat.
Some breeds will always be more suitable than others when taking into account the term of their lifespan, which can be up to 20 years in some cases.
Your decision might also be based on how long you intend to look after a cat, and you might decide that getting an older cat from an animal shelter rather than a kitten might be a better decision.
There are certainly a lot to choose from as animal shelters are generally overflowing with unwanted pets, just waiting for a home.
When choosing your cat, see how it interacts with you right from the outset, as even in one litter there will always be a personality that stands out and shows that it wants you to be its owner.
More often than not the kitten will choose you, rather than the other way around.
