IMO if you can't have two kittens, its better to adopt a little older kitten (6 months) or a young adult. Those would be able to handle more alone time then a young kitten.
My cats share a litterbox.And honestly, the thought of having 2 litter boxes makes me shudder.
I live in a one bedroom condo and I have 2 cats...believe me, they can live quite well in a condo.To college students, the added expense is a big deal, and I also live in an urban condo that doesn't have tons of space for 2 full grown cats to wander.
While you are gone..your kitten will be sleeping and while you sleep, your kitten is going to want to be cuddled, played with etc. Many people don't consider this when they get a single kitten.Fortunately, both me and my boyfriend have been thinking about getting a kitten for a while, (so its not some emotional and spur-of the moment purchase) and we are both really excited to spend lots of time playing and cuddling with it. I think that the kitten will get plenty of attention between the both of us.
I had a single kitten and I thought it was doing fine....years later I got my two current cats as kittens and I realized how much happier they are then the one that I had years ago. They have a buddy for when I'm not home and they play together, eat together and they sleep on either side of my bed. I got them with my boyfriend at the time...he picked out one...I picked out one. It's interesting to see their different personalities and how well they get along after 8 years.But don't lots of people only have one cat? I know plenty of relatives and friends who have just one and it does fine.
