Should I Get One Cat or More?
Many cat owners aren’t sure whether it’s best to have just one cat or more. This decision depends on the individual cat. Some cats prefer to live with other cats, while some much prefer to spend their time alone or with humans. If you already have an adult cat, you probably have a good idea of what she would prefer and how she would get along with another cat.
If you are away from home for much of the day, you may want to get two or more cats so they can keep each other company. Kittens that’ve been brought up together generally get along very well, even as adults.
The number of cats you can have also depends on the size of your home. Just like people, they need their own space and don’t like to feel overcrowded. As a general rule, you should have at least one room for every cat you have, so they have space to retreat to if they want to be alone. You may also need a separate litter box for each cat, because some cats don’t like to share their litter box with others.
