Is having two kittens at a time better than one?

I think you got scammed. They were probably running out of room for cats at the shelter and saw that you had a bleeding heart for them. I had one cat for a long time and he was great. Now we have two and he is the same as he was before.

I think if they are from the same litter and were caged togeather and used to each other it was a great idea, If they made you take 2 that were not familer with each other i think you got scammed also, but it does seem that it worked out for you so your lucky. Cats can be very picky animals and often dont like shareing there space.

yes two kittens at a time is better

You don't need to have two of them at the same time but it is comforting for an animal to have a friend of its own kind.

At least they have someone to play with...doesn't always work out tho we had two kittens and ended up giving one to my husbands daughter.

In my own personal opinion, I think it's better to get two kittens together. They can keep each other company and... well, I don't know if I believe they'll get into LESS trouble. They may actually get into MORE trouble, but I've noticed that if you get cats at different times, they tend to NOT get along. I think they're more likely to get along as kittens. Does that make sense?

When we adopted our cate we had a choice to take one or two, but we decided to take two - brother & sister. After talking to a few friends with cats, two vets, and personal experience we figured out that it is in the best interest of the cats to have two. The keep each other occupied, they have someone they can trust and rely on...it is like having a brother or sister. I am very grateful we got two cats, I cannot imagine the extra attention and play time that we would have to do and sleep we would loose if they didn't have each other. Also, if you have two cats they clean each other - otherwise you have to bathe your cat.

I would say that having two kittens is better than having one, I got my two kitties together and they didn't cause much trouble and they keep eachother good company when no one else is home.

may be it is i am not sure

On the whole I would agree with this, they play together and keep each other company if you are out. I do have a cat who started as part of a pair but we sadly lost his sister, he was a resue cat and came from an abused background, and he never settled down as well as I think he would have done if his sister had survived to keep him company. They are such fun to watch when they play too

Yup ! so that they wont feel so lonely ...

it's always advisable to have two instead of one, as they will grow faster and learn much easily in each other's company also they won't be lonely when you go out for work or shopping

Sounds like double the trouble!

I think having two cats at one time is better than having one. First off kittens are just little babies lol. Their fun to have around and make a good companion but thats just my opnion. I think having two kittens is better than having one. ^.^

Maybe not always if you have the time and are home to play and entertain just one. I think it is nice to have a friend around don't you? I hop the are fixed and not multiplying if they are opposite sexes. We have 3 cats. We have had up to 9 at one time. Can you tell we love cats. Yes they are among our babies. Good luck with the kittens. They will be a joy to watch grow.

A kitten left alone during the day can become lonely and bored, which sometimes can lead to mischief. Two kittens will never be lonely, especially if they are siblings. In fact, you'll often find situations in shelters and rescue group adoption where a cage will contain two kittens with a sign, "These kittens may be adopted only as a pair." Shelter volunteers recognize that siblings really need to stay together. And since shelters are often frightening, unfriendly places to small creatures, unrelated cats often form close bonds that should be respected when adoption time comes.
