katilac Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Never take just one kitten unless you already have a cat at home. Two or three so they entertain each other is good. I've heard people say this before, but I've had cats for nearly 50 years now and I've never had more than one at a time until two years ago, when we were adopted by a stray (in addition to our long-term kitty). It never seemed to be a problem at all - having two has actually been more of a problem, because they aren't thrilled with each other! I'm sure it means that the kitten pesters the humans more for entertainment, but isn't that half the fun? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdel Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 We have a cat :) A male tabby named Cody who is aloof, except at night when I get in to bed to read my book. Then he comes up next to me, permits himself to be petted for about 10 minutes, and then leaves. Then get a boy. I think same gender pairs tend to bond better outside of littermate pairings.

Audrey Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 They're all cute! I vote for just taking all three. :lol: You know you want them all. :thumbup1: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgrace Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You're seeing them in person? I would pick whichever kitten is friendliest toward people/you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddlemomma Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I like Pop, the calico. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I like Pop, the calico. Me, too. If I had to pick only one, I'm a sucker for a calico. And orange kitties, so I'll have to him, too. And the other orange one because he'll be lonely if I don't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I don't even need a picture. I'm a total sucker for calico/torti cats. I'm a sucker in general for critters. That why I have so many in the house. But my entire family steers me away when they see a calico/tori before I do. Yes! I once got a cat simply because she was a calico. I had no intention of getting a kitten until I heard there was a calico in the litter. I told the owner she was mine, sight unseen. She was a sweetie who lived to be 15 years old. I'd have way more critters if dh was more of a sucker. Actually ds and I both would bring home more. Dh is a bit of a sucker but he's much better at saying, "No, we have enough pets." than ds or I ever will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Waaaay too cute. I don't think you can go wrong either way. I'm assuming that was "mama" off-lap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samba Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Dh, Dd and I say Pop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 We ended up adopting Crackle. DH was adamant that we only adopt one. And then we got Crackle home. And he thought Crackle looked lonely.... Guess who went back to the shelter the next day to adopt Pop? :) Now they're cuddling next to me on the bed. Oh, and we renamed them Chili and Pepper. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
