Why Adopting Two Kittens is Better Than One

Kittens should generally be adopted in pairs if there are no other young cats in the household.
Developmentally, kittens learn behaviors and good manners exclusively from other cats— things like appropriate play and bite inhibition. Without a feline playmate, a kitten may never learn how hard is too hard to bite in play, which often leads an adult cat biting humans to the point where it hurts or draws blood. Without that playmate, kittens will also engage in play with humans in ways that may seem cute when they are young, but can be a problem when they grow up, like attacking hands or feet and ankles when you walk by, when in bed, or from around corners, etc.

Kittens are often destructive to the home without a playmate because they are bored, and even if you spend every available moment playing with them, people still need to sleep, run errands, go to work, etc. Simply put, happy kittens are kittens who have a young feline friend.​
