Persephone turned 10 months yesterday. I adopted her on June 5 at about 10 weeks old. We are nomads who travel and live in our 17' travel trailer, just the two of us.
I know someone who is looking for a home for kittens. He keeps asking me to take one knowing I'm a pushover for animals. I have been tossing the idea back and forth.
Persephone is the first cat I've had in 20 years. In the past I had multiple cats, all female. I cannot remember how I introduced a new kitten into my home back then although I know now that information is readily available these days.
I can't help but wonder what it would be like to have two cats running around a 17' trailer. On the other hand is it better for Persephone to have a cat companion? How would she handle a younger kitten?
These kittens are entirely outdoors and run freely but are not ferrel. I'm adamant that any and all of my fur babies are kept safe. When I'm not home, Persephone is safe inside the trailer. When I'm home she can be outside on a tie out under my supervision. Can one of these kittens be harnessed trained at this point? I'm sure with two cats I would have to be untangling them frequently.
I adopted Persephone from a PetSmart adoption day. She was originally at the county kennel. She was spayed and vaxx up to date, first vet visit free at MY vet $65. Living as I do I can't afford to have an unspayed or unneutered cat. Much too dangerous for them! So I would have to find out the cost of operation first.
Would Persephone, female, be
e better off with another female or a male?
I ask these questions because I feel this decision is too important not to consider them. What do you think?
