Re: Getting a 2nd cat - good idea?
Does anyone know if the same is true with dogs?
We recently got a Beagle/German Shepherd Mix and shes great with us. Are dogs ok by themselves? |

Re: Getting a 2nd cat - good idea?
I adopted two kittens a few months ago, a brother and sister pair. They are two of the most fun-loving, well-adjusted cats I've ever met. They were fostered well, which helped. They love to play and hang out with each other, which helps them stay sane, I think, since I'm at work for such long periods of time. Definitely find a kitten of similar age and good temperament to introduce to your current cat. If you can find a littermate, that would be ideal.

Re: Getting a 2nd cat - good idea?
tuq,
My sister had about the same situation as you. Her and her bf got a young cat (Jade), and about 6-8 weeks later picked up a kitten (Pedie). Initially they kept them seperated for a couple of days, leaving Pedie in the spare bedroom. At first Jade was none-too-pleased, but over a couple days she became curious and snooped around the door a lot. Finally they met and within a week they became best buds. The only issue now is that Pedie is a bit of a hog so it's hard to play with Jade without Pedie jerking it up. So Jade usually lays low most of the time, but then sneaks up and pounces his ass. |

I will not confess to how many cats my wife and I have, but it is significantly > 1. I think 2 is a perfect amount, assuming they get along with each other.
