I'm Thinking Of Getting Another Cat Not Sure If I Should Or Not

is that Pasadena California or Texas? I've got a great kitten looking for a good home with a good playmate... in Texas...

We at one time had two cats. We got Tigger when he was four months old and had him a year when we decided to get him a playmate. We got Topaz from the cat shelter and for several years they were good friends. Topaz developed a bad tooth and we took her and had it removed. I am not sure if it was an allergy to the anesthetic or what but after that her personality drastically changed. It was like she was afraid of her own shadow every time someone came around she ducked, ran and hid and she was never abused at least not here. Tigger started growling at her and beating up on her after the personality change then Topaz attacked my husband. She sneaked out and he tried to grab hold of her then she bit him seven times and scratched him. He was treated in ER. We called the cat shelter and told them we needed someone to take this cat. They reluctantly took her but we later found out she was euthanized due to aggressive behavior. Tigger is content as our only cat. He is older now at nine years old so we have decided to keep him as our only pet. When getting another pet you will need to consider temperament of the animal, veterinary care and that food and litter supply increase. As well cats can develop psychiatric problems like Topaz did and may need treatment for it. We felt bad for getting rid of her after seven years but felt we had no choice since we have a child in the home.

I have three indoor cats right now. Two of them don't get along at all so they are not allowed to be able to roam the house at the same time, but the third one gets along with everyone. Keeping up with multiple litter boxes can be a bit annoying, but I think that overall allowing my cats other feline friends is worth it. Just remember that while your new cat (if you decide to get one)will most likely fit in just fine, there may be a chance that it might not mesh with Jinx's personality. They are kind of like humans, not all of them get along. Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

Not only cats, but every animal is an good way to give love and get happier. Some times an animal can save your life, not only about dangers (Like Lass, LOL) but things like depression and other things. I actually have a cat and a dog. My cat loves to sleep with everyone and stay with us while watching tv. And our dog is like our partner, she go to everywhere i go, i really love it, i really don't know what would be my life without my animals.

I have four cats. The first one is a very mild-mannered fellow who loves attention from everyone. When he was 8 months old, my brother got a male, (still not neutered) and we were very careful with them playing together as he was just a kitten. Several months later, my brother brought home two more kittens! (both male, both not neutered) They all get along fine, I think because when you introduce a new cat, the younger, the better. The existing cats don't see this tiny, helpless thing as a threat, and have a chance to make friends without being territorial. Of course, you need to supervise when the cats are little, because cats will wrestle, and the tiny ones could get hurt. Of course, it depends on the cat's personalities as well. You must always make sure not to lessen the attention to the first cat when a new one comes home, or he will get jealous! All of my cats bathe and groom each other, snuggle up to sleep together, and do the same with us humans! So it is possible to have a happy multiple cat household!

Hi, I have four indoor cats at home...Used to be five! Vet bills are definitely something to take into consideration. Our cat Smiley developed cancer and renal disease and they started offering us insurance, surgery rates, all of these things that we could NOT afford. We had to put her to sleep. That put having a lot of cats into perspective for me. Most of our cats are middle aged, but once they get older, you definitely will have more vet bills and be faced with tough decisions. It's hard to draw a line on what is considered too much money to spend when it comes to a loved one's health (Even a cats). It definitely makes the house less lonely though! I love having four different cats that come with four different personalities! It's awesome! They are all such individuals, so adding a new cat to your house will definitely add a spark to everyday life. A whole new personality to live with. By the sounds of it, you pick nice cats, so not a bad idea! It is also important to consider how your current cat will feel about the new cat. My cat Patches is our oldest, she was here before the rest. She's very friendly and one of the most cuddly cats I know, but she did not adapt well to our other cats. She gets very anxious and feisty. I do not think she feels comfortable. Even when cats are cordial and friendly to humans, they may not be like that around other felines. If he or she loves to get attention from you, that may be an issue when they find out they have to share it with another cat! All and all, I think you should bring the cat home and feel it out. You never really know with animals until you give it a shot. Two cats is a good amount, and while it will be a bit more expensive, it won't be unmanageable. Good luck and let us know your decision!

hello friend. i think you should get another cat for your life. and we need them for our life.when we are sad . and we could tell to our lover . or could tell the cat. though it don't understand us sometimes. but more time they could give us some better mood after our speaking. good luck.
