People who love animals very much sometimes give in to the urge to get a second pet.

Most often, we are talking about cats, because they are more convenient to keep and are cheaper than dogs.

However, we don’t know how our pet will react to our idea.

Can cats become friends?

As it turns out, there is no reason to worry or be nervous: in most cases, animals will be able to get along, although this does not happen right away.

Experts note that much depends on the correctness of the owner’s actions.

Don't give all your attention to the new cat: your first pet will start to feel unnecessary and forgotten. Also, the "main" cat will worry about its resources and will try to drive the competitor out of its territory.

Also, don't rush: it's unlikely that the animals will develop warm feelings for each other on the very first day. This takes time.

Therefore, it is important to be consistent and careful.

If you do everything right, the cats will not conflict and sort things out. On the contrary, they will be able to make friends and find a partner for games.
