I currently have two cats, and I’ve got the chance to adopt a third. Three is my limit since we don’t have a ton of space. I’ve heard that once you start adding cats, it can be hard to stop! I’m a bit worried about whether three cats are much more work than two. I’m planning to use the slow introduction method, and I know I need enough litter boxes, which I’m good with. All my cats are used to living with others. Am I making a mistake, or is this a good move to give a cat a loving home? What would you do?
I think adding a third cat can definitely work, especially since your current cats are used to each other. Just be patient with the introductions! It can be a bit more work, but if everyone gets along, it’s so rewarding.
Three cats can be more work, but it’s manageable! Just keep an eye on their interactions. Make sure you have enough resources—food, water, and litter boxes are key!
Honestly, I’ve had three cats for years, and it’s been great! They keep each other company. Just be prepared for a little more cleanup and more feeding times.
I say go for it! If you feel ready and have the space, giving a cat a home is a lovely thing to do. Just take it slow and let them adjust.
Just remember, every cat has its own personality! Make sure to observe how your current cats react to the newcomer. If you notice any signs of stress, you might need to rethink a bit.
