is it better to have 2 females, or one male and one female in a house hold.


Answer from Kate
Hi
It is best to have one of each rather than two females or two males. Females are generally worse at getting along with another female cat.

Unless the cats have grown up together from birth as a general rule if you can get one of each sex as this will general mean a happier less territorial home.

I have a page about introducing new cats to each other which you may find of further interest here
