If you are thinking of getting a cat for the first time, you may have wondered the question is whether it would be better to have two cats at once, or maybe you thought cats were solitary animals who preferred to live on their own? In fact, cats, like their owners, prefer to live in the company of their own kind.
In purely practical terms, if you hold two cats that are in good relations with each other (all cats from argue or fight), then they will be a suitable company for a friend, when you’ll be on the robot all day or go away on weekends. Of course, this does not mean that they will sit together whole day or even sleep in one place, which means that they will not languish alone and can play with each other if come in. Two cats will not be so demanding anymore, and, may not be trying to attract attention or loudly meow when they want something. But this also does not mean that they will depend more on each other than on you, they are likely will still sit next to you and wait for you to fussing with them.
Nevertheless, you must make your choice of cats suitable for you. very carefully, because you do not want to make two unhappy cats that will not get along at all. Usually, the easiest way to build relationships between purebred cats or kittens, because about the breed you have chosen you will have enough information, including about their parents, and you will understand what kind of behavior is characteristic of them. More difficult is the situation with thoroughbred cats, since often little is known about them, including their pedigree. In the general case, of course, you can make friends and two ordinary cats, however this may take a little longer time.
Different breeds of cats have different characteristics and temperaments, and you are likely to make friends with two cats with success or kittens of the same or similar breeds. For example, Siamese cats, As you know, they do not get along with the Rex and Sphinx breeds – all of them extraverts, but very different. Siamese cat is suitable neighborhood with rocks such as Oriental, Balinese, quiet Persian, as well as British Pedigree cats and kittens often live with breeders, which have many cats in the house and therefore they are more socialized with feline other than many ordinary cats. However, despite this, an adult purebred cat may getting along badly in your new house or apartment with their new cat companions, for such a cat more just human society will fit without other home animals.
Regardless of the breed of a cat, it is always easier to integrate into a family a kitten, rather than an adult cat. Most adult cats do not damage a defenseless kitten, they will understand that a little the kitten should not be hurt, even if some of them will hiss and growl at the beginner for several days. Cats friendly enough creatures and you probably every other day or find that they reconciled and eat together from one bowls, and one day, you’ll even see a kitten curled up, sleeping with a big cat. The ideal situation is when you get two kittens at once from one breeder, where they are already accustomed to each other.
If you start a cat and a cat at once, then do not forget to take care about sterilization. It’s important to have surgery as soon as the kittens are older and the veterinarian will say that they are already old enough – even if they brother and sister, they can still mate. Have a young cat own kittens is very undesirable, and besides, you don’t going to care for a whole brood of kittens?
If you are going to get an adult cat in addition to your old, it will be significantly more complicated and time consuming and patience on your part, especially if your old cat was for a while your only pet. Your old the cat does not want to contact the “occupier”, which will violate it ordinary life is too much, or worse, it will be bully. If your cat is nervous, there will be it’s better to make friends with a kitten, in the case of a self-confident cat, she is better off choosing a calmer and quieter cat, which will be able to accept the authority of the “main” cat that lived with you in for some time. A castrated cat will not do. another cat is the same, and it would be better if you get him a sterilized girlfriend who will not dispute his power. It is also important to make sure that each cat has its own space and place to sleep, if they do not become bosom friends. In any case, to make friends of two adult cats, unlike from kittens, always takes longer, but even if they are different rocks, it is almost always possible.
Keeping two cats, of course, will not be as cheap as one, and you should keep in mind the additional costs that you have to bear it. These costs may be related to equipment. tray filler, vaccinations and insurance, as well as you two carrying cases for cats will be required. However, this amount is not will be twice as much, and you can enjoy two at once cats. Two cats tend to do less damage to the house – if the cat gets bored, he or she may start to scratch the furniture or curtains, but with two cats that get along well, they will run one after another and won’t start breaking or scratching anything in home!
