One of the biggest questions is how many cats should you own. First of all, there are a few factors to this. If you have long working hours and your cat will be alone throughout the day, maybe a second cat is ideal to stop cat number one for becoming lonely. There is never a limit on how many cats you can own, it is whatever works in your life. Sometimes, getting two cats from the same litter is a good idea as they should bond together significantly. Personally, we have two sisters from the same litter and one girl from a different litter. Gender wise, I would advise having only girls or only boys, unless you're willing to get your boy the snip snip on your girl neutered.
