How many cats should you adopt?
You can keep two or more cats if you live in a big flat or in a detached house, but the cats you
adopt should be from the same litter. They already know each other well; they play with each other
and get out of each other's way, too, when they want to. If you keep kittens of mixed gender it is
important to neuter them when they are about 8 months old. Each cat requires a separate resting
area. As far as the number of toilet boxes are concerned, there should always be at least more
than one than the number of cats you keep with the help of this method you can easily make your
cat house-trained. Toilet boxes should be placed in different parts of the house so that the
cats can reach them according to their needs in the shortest possible time. It is not
recommended to keep more than one cat in a small flat because they will fight for their
own territory.
Cats and other pets around the house
It can happen quite often that you have to keep under one roof two or more pets belonging to
different species. There are a great number of households where cats and dogs can get on well
with each other, moreover they become even friends. Although it has to be emphasised that pets
should not share in the food or the sleeping area with each other, in other words they should
have their own designated territories.
It is highly important that you start to make them become accustomed to each other at an early
age because it is much harder for older pets to become friends. It is a well-tried tactics to
use the same shampoo the first time you bathe them, because they get used to each other better
if they have the same smell. You should not treat them differently. To make them become
accustomed to each other successfully, you need to give the same amount of love, care, patience
and attention to both pets in the house. Cats cannot get used to certain animals because of
their genetically coded hunting instinct no matter how hard you try.
These are the following: fish, mice, guinea pigs, squirrels, and birds.
