I'm not sure I've seen a thread specifically for single-cat households so I thought I would start one.
There are threads for pointed cats only, black cats only, tuxedo or black-and-white cats only, calicos, torties and orange cats only, small cats, big cats, troubled cats, happy cats, crazy kittens, sedate seniors... this thread can be for all of those too!
There can be many reasons why we each have decided to create a single-cat household, some of which may be out of our personal control. Sometimes it has to do with available finances, sometimes it's simply a matter of current lifestyle preference, sometimes it may be that our apartment manager only allows one cat, sometimes it can be because we want to help special needs cats which require individual focused care... sometimes it is just because our cat simply wants to be The One and Only Ruler in your home! The reasons why we choose to be single-cat households could be simple or complex.
Our households have one-cat-more than any household that has no cats, so that's always a positive. It's possible that, depending on our choices and circumstances, some of us may not be far from joining the ranks of multi-cat households. But it could be that some of us can only dream of multi-cat households in our hearts because circumstances for us prevent that from becoming a reality.
Meanwhile, this thread is for celebrating and sharing what it's like having only one cat ruling our lives.

**The only caveat for posting here is that your beloved kitten or cat dwells within a single-cat household, or that you have experienced a single-cat household in the past and want to share what you have loved or learned about it.**
If you recently had a multi-cat household and now you have just one cat because of losing one or more of your other dear furbabies , let us know how things are going for you.

What are your reasons for having only one cat, if you want to share them?
Do you have any tips for helping someone try to decide
whether to support one cat versus multiple cats?
