Hi everyone. I’ve recently moved into a rental with my fiance (luckily for us, the landlord is my animal loving cousin so pets are no problem) once we fully settle in to the house, I would love to adopt an adult cat (or a bonded pair of adults) from a shelter. I’m just not sure if I should get one or two. I currently work 5 days a week and on average I will be out of the house between 6-10 hours on those days. So obviously my main time with the cat(s) would be a couple hours in the morning, evening times, and on my days off. My fiance works in care, usually two 24 hour shifts (could be any two days of the week and changes each week.) then he’s mostly at home for the rest of the week. I know most people work full time while having pets, and that they can tolerate being on their own for a period, but I don’t want the kitty to be lonely or bored if we just get one. Would two be a better option to ensure they always have each other for comfort, companionship and play time when we are not home? Or do you think with our schedules one cat would be alright? I know it depends on the cat too but I just can’t make up my mind about this… although I am leaning towards two. (The more cats the better right?!) Opinions appreciated 😸 also, if you do have two cats, what are the pros and cons in general? I’ve heard it’s actually often “easier” than one? I have always had a pet cat growing up, and I have fostered before, but only ever one cat at a time.
