I currently have 3 cats. Two are 3 1/2 years old and one is 4 months. The male cat wanted to play while the female cat wanted to be left alone, so we adopted the 4 month old so he would have a playmate. Well, this was one month ago. About 2 weeks ago, I noticed the 4 month old's sister is the only sibling still available. I feel really bad and am trying to convince my partner that we have enough room for four cats.
His biggest gripe is that we won't have enough room for another cat. We have a 1500 sq foot house right now, but by next September we will (hopefully) be moving interstate and will probably end up in an apartment. We will both be in grad school and may have to move into a smaller apartment. If we have to move into a 2 bedroom apartment, will the cats have enough room to play? My whole thing is that there is not that big of a difference between 3 cats and 4 cats, so we might as well get his sister. What do you think?
Over and above that, being only 4 months old and having been separated from his sister for over a month, would my cat even recognize his sister or will she be a "stranger" to him?
Thanks,
Tamara
