A person who has one cat in their home may well want to get a second pet.
And it makes sense: pets make people happy. Why not "double" the happiness?
But don't rush! First, you need to prepare. Otherwise, very serious problems will make themselves known.
So, what does a person need before a second furry friend appears in the apartment?
Every cat needs its own space
You shouldn't expect that the animals will immediately become friends and get along.
Prevent cats from fighting over food, toilet and resting place.
Prepare your corner for the second cat in advance. Each pet should have its own litter box and its own bed.
Also, get a separate bowl for the second pet. At first, feed the animals in different rooms.
You need to take into account the age of the cat
If you have an elderly cat living in your house who is used to being alone, then he is unlikely to make friends with a “competitor”.
But a young cat can easily get along with a new “tenant”.
And one more thing: it's not easy to make two adult cats friends. So get a very small kitten.
