What happens when a cat gets attached to one person?
When a cat gets attached to one person, it can seem as if they’re the only two creatures in the world.

Why did we not adopt a second cat?
We always wanted to adopt a second, but the timing wasn’t right for ages, first because of the move to the UK (which we thought was permanent), then because we needed more space to be comfortable adjusting Avery to living with a sibling, and we lived in a studio for two years while in the UK.

How to encourage multiple cats to get along with each other?

What should I do if my cat is fighting with another cat?
If the Aggression Is Mild or Between Two Cats Who Used to Get Along Separate your cats in different rooms for several days or weeks, with separate beds, bowls and litter boxes.

What to do if your cats are not getting along?
Separate the cats that aren’t getting along. Give the newest cat or kitten its own safe room. It can be a bedroom, a bathroom, a laundry room, or any room with a door where the cat can be isolated from the other felines in the household. Make this room the cat’s special place, complete with his water, food, litter box, bedding, and toys.
