First Time Cat Adopter Met With "Two Kitten Minimum" Rule From Animal Shelter, Needs A Little Convincing That Two Kittens Are Better Than One

Hey cat lovers. Today we came across a wholesome Reddit post written by a first-time cat adopter who doesn't understand why their local animal shelter has a two-kitten minimum policy for adoption! Allow us to shed some light- Adopting two kittens is highly recommended because they can keep each other company, play together, provide social stimulation, and avoid the dreaded 'single kitty syndrome.' 

It might seem like more work and effort, to adopt two cats as opposed to one, but two kittens together are actually much better than one. They help alleviate loneliness and boredom, reducing the chances of behavioral issues like separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Plus, watching their adorable antics as a dynamic duo will double the joy in their homes. Luckily for us, the feline-loving users of Reddit overwhelmingly agreed with this sentiment, and most certainly helped the original poster to better understand why two kitties are better than one! Plus, double the cuddles and mischief. It's a win-win for all!
