TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE !

1. Cats need stimulation during the day like humans. Studies in the United States have shown that some animals left alone most of the day in the house have brains that weigh up to 25% less than those that live on the street.

2. In Switzerland, an anti-cruelty law was passed that requires people who are buying dogs and cats to get two instead of one since it is the nature of an animal to have company of its own kind.

3. Cats that have a playmate tend to be more socially well-adjusted and avoid behaviour problems like shyness, biting, hissing, being frightened and hiding in the company of people they don’t know.

4. They are much less likely to gain weight due to lack of movement and to suffer related illnesses.

5. They are less likely to ruin furniture out of boredom.

6. If you must work long hours or travel for a couple of days, two or more cats keep each other company and are more tranquil during your absence.

7. By having two or more cats, you are able to enjoy the true social nature of cats and their relationship with each other.

8. It’s more likely that people bring back an adopted cat (kitten) due to behaviour problems when only one has been adopted rather than two.

9. Your cat will remain more playful and youthful into his/her later years with a companion.

10. The workload to care for two cats remains relatively the same.

11. You don’t need more space for a second cat.

12. Because……………….TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE!
