Get a couple cats (only if you can commit). I would never choose to live somewhere without having my strike-crew I started at the bottom with
We do have our older kitty, buutt may be looking into getting another! I do feel like getting 2 together is the way to go so it’s definitely something my wife and I are thinking through!
Please do! It worked out so well for us that we even got another via blast from the past 😹 11/10 goddamn solid-ass crew
Edit: seriously, get two young'uns so they have each other as a foundation and will be reasonably ok when the older passes. Sad to think about but you gotta be the adult in the room for them and cats should always come in no less than pairs
Yeah I agree with everything you’ve said! I’m super cautious before adopting any new pets. The only time I’d just get one is if I’m maybe adopting from a shelter to give an older cat a new home. My main concern is how they’d interact with our old lady cat because she can be a bit feisty!
I have my own miracle in terms of that. As long as everyone has everything they need and you use treats strategically, I catch them all the time laying down with like a couple inches between butts, which would have been unthinkable to me previously.
Cats are far more trainable than people know or are willing to give them credit for. I literally train them >= the amount they train me ;)
