Getting
Started - Multiple cats
Ever hear of two's company, three's a crowd? This is what
felines might say when their pet parents bring home a new kitten or cat.
Felines are social creatures and may
benefit from
being raised with a littermate, or being raised with their mothers.
That's different! Cats bond to territory. After they bond to
territory and adopt the household members into their families, they are
not especially open minded when it comes to expanding the family. How
would you feel if a roommate brought home someone from the streets to
live under your roof? Who does embrace change?
If you have multiple cats, you need to
increase the resources in the environment such as available beds, food
and water bowls, scratching and climbing posts, and litterboxes. You
want one more litterbox available than you have cats. You don't want
your felines fighting over resources. Felines don't always share, well.
