10 Reasons why 2 kittens are always better than 1 (if there isn’t already a young, playful cat in the home):

  1. Unlike with puppies, 2 kittens are WAY less work than with just 1.
  2. One kitten will be be lonely without a kitty playmate.
  3. Two kittens keep each other company and offer each other enrichment 24/7.
  4. There are few things more joyful than watching 2 kittens play and wrestle together.
  5. 2 kittens won’t be destructive and don’t act-out because they don’t get bored.
  6. They don’t develop “Single Kitten Syndrome”
  7. They have a friend, cuddle buddy and companion for life… who wouldn’t want that?!
  8. Two kittens means twice the cuddles for you!

Kittens raised with a kitty friend don’t develop poor habits around biting and scratching humans.

  1. You get to save 2 kitties instead of 1!

 

Pro Tip:  A single baby kitten is not the best companion for a kitty over 6 or 7 years old.     Why?  Because that’s about as much fun for your older kitty as it would be for a 40/50/60-year-old human to suddenly be locked in a house with a random 2-year-old they have to entertain while it follows them around wanting attention. 
   Kittens are little energizer bunnies, and just like with humans, your older kitty won’t be able to keep up with their energy, and they may act-out, hide, or simply not enjoy the space the way they used to.  The solution is an easy one.  Get 2 kittens.  Your older cat can join-in when they want, and the babies will leave them alone the rest of the time because they’ll have each other to entertain!
