Hi - I've never owner a cat before but we are looking for 2 kittens to add to our family. We have 3 young boys so have decided to get kittens (DS1 is v nervous around animals so we thought a rescue cat would be a risk and a 3 child household prob not the best for a cat that might have issues).
Anyway.... we want a pair. Can anyone tell me whether, at 8-12 weeks old, it would be better to get a sibling pair or would two kittens from different parents but the same age integrate just as well? I have found some promising kittens. One is a sibling pair but no tabby, which I had my heart set on. Or I could take one from that litter and a tabby the same age from a different litter I have found. Both litters are British Shorthair cross. Finding siblings is proving tricky, so I'm wondering if I'm being too particular, but I'm keen to do what's best for the cats and have no experience of kittens whatsoever. Any advice? Thanks in advance!!
