Question
could you please tell me how many cats you can keep together if you get them as kittens. I have 1 kitten and will be getting 2 more at the end of May. I am also looking for 1 more. is this to much or is it ok. I live in a 4 bed house with a large garden.

Answer
Lorraine,

IF your house is large enough (and it sounds as if it is), 3 or 4 cats would do fine. The trick is to make sure there are sufficient litter pans and food dishes. Essentially there should be one litter pan and one food dish for every two cats (Note: if there is an odd number of cats add 1 to the number of cats to calculate litter pans and food dishes).

Best regards... Norm.
