I like the idea of two as well. They'll keep each other company while you and your husband are at work all day.
You're right, Jen -- I should have said that Frosty is apparently a mix of tabby DSH and bluepoint Siamese (traditional or applehead type), with a very thick, plush undercoat. I'll never know for sure what breed or mix her parents were.Originally Posted by Jen
On a side note, Tabby is a COAT PATTERN and a Bengal or Siamese are BREEDS. The Siamese mix was probably a Lynx Point Siamese or just a mixed breed altogether. Tabby coat patterns are all different shapes and sizes, Bengals can have tabby coat patterns
I definitely think getting two cats at the start is better than adding a cat years later. Most of the kitten/cat problems that pop up on the board are older cats not accepting the new kitten. Kitten/kitten relationships are really relaxed and no one is really worried about being dominant at the beginning.Originally Posted by Roimata
Thank for you all your suggestions everyone. Just keep in mind im not getting a cat for a few months so im in no rush. Im not indefinatley getting a Bengal, im almost sure im not (Bengals are too expensive, plus the personality...), but like you guys said there are cats out there that resemble Bengals so I will look into that. In all honesty id much rather have a cat known to be playful and gentle than get one purely based on its looks. So it doesnt have to look wild, that would just be a plus. Most of you are urging me to get 2 cats, it seems kind of difficult to go from having no cats to having 2 all the sudden..plus it would be really expensive. Are you guys sure a cat wouldnt do good on its own? atleast for a couple years? Like I said we had 1 cat for over 5 years until we put another cat into the picture and they HATE eachother (both girls though).
