Hi Kark711,

Getting your kitty a playmate while she is young is a great idea! When we got our first kitty, we only got the one kitten. She was about 3 months old when we adopted her. When my DH and I would get home from work, she'd ramp up and be constantly craving attention. I couldn't blame her, though.

So we went back to the Humane Society and adopted another kitty several weeks later that was the same age as her. It is amazing how much noise that 2 can make tearing about the house. Just make sure to keep the new one separate at first until it's fully vetted and cleared. Then you can start introducing them slowly at first, but most likely, they'll both enjoy keeping each other busy and wearing themselves out. Plus the amusement for you...they will certainly keep you entertained!

Two years later, they are still good buddies, and best of all, they are in very good shape; no excess weight on them because of all the exercise they get.

Think of it this way.....besides giving your kitty a companion, you are also saving another kitty!
