Actually, I've found that they enjoy each other's company so much they seem happier overall than just having a single. After having my 3 at the same time and seeing how they enjoy each other, I'll never go back to just having a single cat.

Aww wow that’s awesome! I’ve been thinking about getting a second one since she seems kind of lonely since Gator died but I hate changing litter boxes so I don’t know if I want two at once but I think I would be more than willing to suck it up if it would make her happier. She’s a pretty social cat so I think she would like a friend. But then again she is 9 years old so I’m not sure if she would or not. But she’s pretty social so I think she’d be fine.

Don't give me anymore ideas. ,,,,,,,

I have been so hectic here that I never did tell you my poor kitty got her foot stuck in a leg trap we set to catch a Fox. Her foot swelled up, but otherwise she is fine. She spent about 3 days at the vets getting laser treatments. She's one tough kitty.

I don't know how Luna would adapt to having another cat/kitten around at her age. Might be fine, might not

My first 2 were litter mates so they always have gotten along. When #3 came along (Opie was a dumped kitten), it took some adjustment on everyone's part. There was some jealousy among them and a few spats. Now that the first 2 know Opie is the boss, everyone is ok

Guess it's sort of like chickens determining the pecking order.

Poor girl! Glad to hear she's ok.

P.S. You've been around BYC to know we are all enablers

Eventually I may add more kitties but probably not this year. I got myself a puppy instead, and I'm exhausted.

How many doggies do you have now OHLD? I think the last time I heard, it was around 5?

6 now, all females. My oldest dog has been having trouble, so we will see.

Would it be blasphemy to ask for a group dog photo on a cat thread?

(Asking for a friend of course)

Yeah, I’m a little worried about it because of her age, but she is very very social and friendly and she’s very non combative. Prefers to run. Only fights as a last resort and even then won’t use her claws unless you don’t back off. Even at the vet’s they all say she’s the best behaved cat they’ve ever seen LOL Ashe let’s them do whatever they want to her. She also lets the groomers shave her the 2 times I’ve gotten her shaved with, from what I hear, no fight, just minimal noise. She even lets me bathe her! Lol done that 2 or 3 times too. She does go spread eagle/splay her legs as well as try to climb out though haha but never attacks me. Even when I brush her, she fights minimally and will only try to claw or nip if I don’t let her go but usually I do when she starts making a lot of noise/getting too fussy because I don’t want it to be a negative experience. I can even clip her nails! She does need to be wrapped in a towel though. And I have so far been unable to clip her back feet haha but my point with all this is that she is VERY non combative and very sweet and loving so I don’t think she would fight another cat. But I almost worry about her being intimidated or bullied because she is so docile? I was thinking maybe a male kitten would be best? Opposite sex and a baby so less intimidating?

The pecking order thing makes a lot of sense though!

I would be all for it.

Though I think I’ve already seen all her dogs lol

Although not in a group pic.
