It used to be 1, but that was dictated by Flicka. She was an only kitty, and let me know it. I remeber that I thought about getting her a friend when she was 19 and she had mellowed a little. Then, one day at the vet she saw another kitty that was there and darn near took the poor things face off. It was really scary for a few moments. It was at that point that I thought if she didn't want a friend she was old enough to make up her own mind. When she went to the RB, we both thought that we would like 2.

So, I voted at 2 and that it what I have at the moment. I always felt that 2 was a good number, and at least they got a friend. However, I can feel myself started to falter on that.

Unless something happens, I would like to wait a little while and let Joey settle in some more. I think that introducing a new kitty at this point may be a little more that I want her to have to deal with. She may be just fine, but I would like to be sure.

So, at some point we may have 3, but for now it is 2.
