        <title>Is one cat enough? - I love my dogs - luvmypit&apos;s Blog - SacPaws.com</title>

        <description>I&#039;m really more of a dog person, but found these tips from WashingtonPost.com interesting.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy!

For some households, one cat is not enough. In fact, over 56 percent of the  cat owning households in this country have at least two cats living under one  roof, according to a survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers  Association.
So, if you feel that more is merrier, make sure your house is equipped to  handle the needs of multiple felines.
Here are some things to keep in mind:

To minimize cat fighting, make sure you have at least one litter box for  each cat. And, some experts suggest having at least one extra box somewhere in  the house, or making sure there is a box on each floor of the house.  
Provide many places for cats to hide out and perch. Scratching posts, beds,  food and water should also be available in several locations.  
If you decide to become a multi-cat household, take great care in the way  you introduce a new cat. Many experts suggest putting a new cat in a room of his  own for a couple of days. Then put your new cat in another room and let the old  cat come into the room and sniff out the new cat&#039;s scent. Start actual  visitation slowly and see how it goes before letting both cats have free roam of  the house.  
Before you get a second (or third) cat, remember this: the major reason cats  are brought to animal shelters is that they could not get along with the other  cat(s) in the house.
