[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]. But pairs of kittens is a really good idea. They entertain each other, tire each other out and that lessens the undesirable kitten behaviors like being destructive because they're bored, keeping you awake because they're not tired, etc.

NP, fostered many cats and kittens over the years[/quote]

This is so true. I'm amazed at how many less bad behaviors my two cats have vs when I had 1. They are much more tolerant of being touched anywhere, if they are irritated they just walk away instead of biting or clawing, and they generally are more sociable. If we are playing with them and they give us a "play bite" (which we don't encourage and stop playing then), it is SO gentle. Being around other cats is really good for them to learn how to be gentle and tolerant - and every cat is different, but I fully believe cats need to be around at least one other cat for the first year of their lives.

If you want an only cat, I think the only way to do that is to get an adult cat who the shelter/foster has identified as being happy as an only cat. More and more  kittens are not being adopted out as singles. [/quote]
