Two is better than one

Are you thinking of getting a kitten?

Kittens!

Well, if you want to adopt one(or buy one), please get 2.

But, why should you get 2?

Surprisingly, it is easier to care for two kittens than to care for one! I know this might sound weird, because you have to buy more food, another cat bed, get 2 vet checkups instead of 1, and pay for the kittens too! This might sound crazy, because you might be expecting your house in flames, or your couch shredded to bits in half the time because there are 2 kittens to ruin your house, not 1. Also, it would be good for your kitten, not just for you. I’m not saying that your couches will remain pristine and untouched(one way you can prevent a shredded couch is to buy a scratching post), so let me give you some reasons on why to get 2 kittens!

Cat and scratching post

Cats love to play. And, if you get 2 kittens, you are getting a playmate for your beloved feline friend(or you can get 3, or 4, etc.). Then, your kitten won’t be so interested in ruining your beautiful couches and scratching up your shiny tables, because he/she will be playing with the other kitten! Now, if you get 2 kittens, they might ruin your home twice as fast, but they probably won’t.

If you listened to my episode Beautiful Russian Blues, then you would know that Russian Blues are very energetic, and you should get 2 Russian Blue cats so they can use their boundless energy to play instead of destroy your house. Abyssinians are very energetic too. If you want to learn more about Abyssinians, then listen to my episode Amazing Abyssinians.

But, please note that the kittens should be around the same age. You don’t want to get a 10-year old cat and a 6-month old kitten, because the old cat won’t have the same energy level as the young cat.

So, please get 2 cats, because it would benefit both you and your cat! Two kittens are better than one!
