Hello all,
We have a 6 month old female kitten called Millie who is now settled in well. However, as my partner and I both work full time she is on her own for around 10 hrs per day during the week. We are thinking of getting another cat/kitten to keep her entertained for times when we aren't around and I just wanted to know if this is a good/bad idea. Some people I've spoken to have said they can get very territorial and can fight a lot, is this common? Basically what advise can you give....?
a/ Are 2 female cats better than a male/female combo?
b/ will they start peeing more to 'scent' their territory?
c/ Our cat is 6-month old, is it better to introduce an older cat or one around the same age?
d/ do certain breeds of cat get on better with each other, than others?
Many thanks
Iain
