[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can absolutely adopt a singleton cat, just not a kitten. Kittens suffer if they aren't socialized properly and are usually very active and playful. Thus the shift to requiring they be adopted in pairs. If you're not willing to adopt a cat that's one year old+, that's your issue and an indication that you're only thinking of your own interests vs. a baby animal's well being.[/quote]

That is a myth that cats need to live in pairs.[/quote]

My experience is that if they are in pairs they tend to bond more with each other than the human. The only thing is you have to be up for some serious kitten rowdiness (which I would have no problem with). [/quote]My personal opinion is that it's better for the cats to be adopted in pairs. I used to feel bad leaving my cats at home for 9 hours a day while I was at work, I would have felt worse if I had left one cat all by itself.

When I was a kid there were a few outdoor cats in my neighborhood, the cat my family had was well socialized. Nowadays, a cat is expected to be locked up for all it's life in a house, so yes, I think another cat to play with is better for the cat(s).[/quote]
