Single Kitten Syndrome Is A Real Thing And You Are The Cause
When you decide to get “A Kitten,” you may be unwittingly dooming that kitten to a lifetime of bad behaviors that make it undesirable as a pet.
Then comes the rehoming, abandonment, dumping surrendering to kill shelters or even worse.
All because YOU wanted ONE kitten.
A kitten is not a toy, it is an animal with innate instinctive behaviors and needs that can go unmet when raised alone.Â
You really need to get two, especially when they are younger than 9 months old.
If you have the kitten's best interest at heart, you'll heed the advice and adopt or foster kittens in pairs.
If you absolutely do not want two cats, (well first that's just nuts. 🙂 but you can at least foster a 2nd kitten until both are older to give them their best chance to be great cats.
Excellent articles for everyone seeking “A kitten” that can help you understand why one is the loneliest number.

This is ridiculous. There is no such thing. I’ve had 2 single cats and have never had an issue both cats were happy got plenty of attention and spoliing. My boy lived a happy life till he was 17 years old and passed away. We got him at 5 weeks. He had a long happy healthy life with lots of love and attention right till the end. My girl now is 6 years old and she is as happy and spoiled as she can be. Lots of love and attention for her. I’m sorry but I don’t believe in this. Single kitten nonsense
Then you have not witnessed the development of enough kittens to observe the behavior patterns that are common among singletons.
