1 or 2 kittens?

[weescottish31]

In a month or so time im looking to get 1 or 2 kittens. I have already been to see rescue centres but they won't allow me to have any cats from them as I don't have a cat flap and can't get 1 put in as I rent privately. A rescue cat was my 1st choice.
I was wondering if any1 can tell me if it's better to have 1 or 2 and how much more cost wise does it work out at for food/litter etc. I've always had just 1 cat at a time so the thought of 2 is new to me. Just thought it would be better to have 2 if I have to work a few hours extra than usual (only work a few hours a day currently).

Any advice would be appreciated

We have 2 brothers!!
And intact soft furnishings!!
They get on well, groom each other, sleep together, and still play chasey at 6 and a half!!
Wouldn't have occurred me to get just one!!

Absolutely 100% get two. My girls comfort each other, play together and are just generally the best of friends. And I never feel bad when I have to be out for a while because I know they're not lonely. Cost wise I guess it's more expensive, but I don't mind as I know it's so worth it

Definitely two. Double the cutes : )

I've lived with cats for 24 years and never had a cat flap. I really don't see why it's that big an issue.

Always one puppy but two kittens in my opinion. It's double the cost tbh, can't think of any savings but cats are not nearly as expensive or high-maintenance as dogs imo.

Two (siblings) every time. They will keep each other amused and be much less trouble.

Thanks for all your replies. Seems like 2 is a must. Do they cost double the amount in terms of food/litter? I know it's double for vaccinations/microchipping and other healthcare things but food/litter would be more frequent so was wondering if you see much of a difference money wise for they things?

Yes - 2 cats eat twice as much as one. No real economies of scale from having two.

I was going to get to -but my little one was the only survivor of her litter. She had a rough start and I don’t want to sress her out by introducing a new older kitten (she was only six weeks poor baby).

She is four months now and seems very happy.

OOps typo - two not to!!

Aw @Dollymixture22 that's lovely. Glad she's doing well

Definitely two! Although expensive for food and flea treatment.

Does it depend on what food you get really? Do your cats eat wet and dry food or just dry?

My kitten eats wet and dry, for small meals of wet during the day then dry through the night.

Anuthing with no grains and a high meat content is good. I use Lily’s kitchen. Thrive kitten is also good.

2!!! Preferably siblings as they will have such a lovely bond.

It really makes no difference in terms of food and toys etc. They are so cheap to have.
