Some Questions About Getting Cats

Are two cats of the same litter better than getting only one?

If you want to have two cats, you could get two cats from the same litter as long as you have them fixed as soon as possible. This is what happened with my Bella. The person that had a brother and sister did not have them fixed and they mated. The result was six unwanted kittens by the owner who left them at my daughter's house to get rid of. I would get two cats from the same litter if I did not have three cats already.

The answer is yes if you have the room and want them to each have a playmate, but know if you are not going to have them fixed. This is true even if they are the same sex. You do not want spraying all over by the males and intense crying by the females when they go into heat.

Would only one cat get lonely without another feline companion?

Cats never seem to be only. I had only one cat for about three years. She is independent and did not care whether or not she had anyone to play with because she had me. She did get a little upset when I started bringing new kittens home but she adjusted in a couple of days. The choice is really up to you whether you want to have one or two cats.

May I suggest that you look at your local Humane Society for some kittens or older cats before looking at a private party for adoption. So many cats and kittens need homes. You might even find two that you will fall in lobe with.
