Cat Breeds: Getting Cats to Get Along
There’s nothing like a home filled with the pitter-patter
of little paws. For some people owning pets can be an
addicting endeavor, and happily for the owners who want
more than one, many pets thrive in environments with animal
companionship. However, some don’t, so when considering
bringing a new cat into your home you’ll want to take a
close look at the breed and their personality traits. The
best cats for multi-pet homes are those who are social,
even-tempered, non-territorial, and adaptable. Below are
